which season do you like to be out in the most?

[v8mule]

What a beautiful morning to waken up under a tarp, the mist it heavy in the woods, the joy of getting a fire going to brew up, the snap of the logs as I spits into life, the smell of the bacon as it sizzles on the hot plate, the fact you can see your own breath lets you know your alive good morning all...!!!

My 1st season would be Autumn, then spring.

Autumn for me...changing colours, colder mornings, the smells

Then Winter...but cold and crisp, not the horrible ones we have had lately where it rains and rains.

Here in Greece any season that's not summer.

 

[Retired Member southey]

Winter for me, then the other three equally.

 

[v8mule]

i love the winters we were out the other year and woke up one morning and it was -18 hope its gonna be the same this year

 

[MikeLA]

if had to choose it would be spring but its just good to get the chance to go out

 

[troutman]

Would have to say Autumn and Winter- gives me a chance to get my layering right and not get too hot when chopping wood etc! Plus there is something a lot more tranquil about a cold, dry and clears winter morning!

 

[rik_uk3]

Clear, cold, dry days like today with not a cloud in the sky, or clear hot days with not a cloud in the sky. I've done more than my share of wet weather camping so you lot can keep all that.

 

[Harvestman]

No preference. each season has its good points.

Spring - just great to see the wildlife emerging again - everything feels fresh
Summer - no need for tarps and heavy kit - just lie and look at the stars
Authumn - lots of colour, fewer biting bugs than summer
Winter - snow, frost, and deep starry skies.

 

[Harvestman]

I was just thinking of the converse of my previous post

Spring - wet, windy, and not yet warm
Summer - thunderstorms, too hot, still raining, and midges
Autumn - more rain, now cold and windy too, with leaves and rotting fruit everywhere
Winter - cold, windy, muddy, rainy.

Actually I think I'll just stay in and post on the forum...

This time of year is the best for me too. I just love it!!

 

[Bowlander]

Transition from winter to spring is my first choice.

 

[John Fenna]

I like all times of year pretty much equally - but the best times are when it aint raining or too muddy!

 

[Toddy]

..............there's a common theme here...........anytime that's not wet and muddy Sounds like home to me

I love the changes that anticipation from the first breathe of a different scent on the air, that first subtle colouring of the trees (and the light) the feel of the Sun or the shiver of the snow, the nip of the frost on my face and hands, the smell of rain in Summer, walking barefoot on muddy grass, or a sandy beach, or charily over pine needles.
'tis all good It's all alive somehow

Y'know for a species that's supposed to have evolved on the savannahs of Africa, there's very few of us here who relish really hot weather, seeming to prefer the cooler seasons, even on our temperate islands.

I reckon it's hard to beat autumn for the colours that shift so subtly each day. Then, winter for its stripped elemental nature. Spring is refreshing for the sheer fluorescence of colour and explosion of life; this leaves summer as the last in the list, for all sorts of reasons!

 

[Corso]

My 1st season would be Autumn, then spring.

indeed was thinking the same thing

 

[Perrari]

I like any time of year, but winter is my favourite simply because I find it more satisfying when you pitch yourself against the elements & succeed in keeping dry & warm.

 

[Shovel]

Here in NY, it's gotta be summer. In fall there's ice on mountaintops, making them almost impossible to climb.

 

[Toddy]

Ice climbing is a sport here .............ice climbing at night is considered fun by some folks.
