Hi all,
I might be able to join you for the first time... depending on work commitments.
Its going to be a bit cold though! I've got gear for down to -6c (20F bag) and Ive used it in Brecon Beacons with 3ish-C overnight with no problems.

What degree bags do you use?
cheers

In the woods it's a few degrees warmer. I use an old german army arctic bag plus a wool blanket if needed. I'd say your bag will be fine.
Let me know when you plan to turn up, as the woods aren't easy to find.

I use a quilt and this weekend we had -3 on the Cotwolds and I was fine, and same quilt I use in hammock.
If your bag is -6 then should be OK with good mattress/insulation underneath, but pack some extra clothing/fleece to wear at night just in case.

As Colin says "In the woods it's a few degrees warmer", the weekend temps look like they'll be on the up so you should be OK.
