All year rounder or is it hibernation for you?

"Actually I've never been out in the snow but might happen now."

That reminded me of our long ago tenting days - Easter at Gisburn in Lancashire. Walked back from the pub in pitch black (but dry) and woke up the following morning to 6 inches  (would be 15 cm these days ) of the white stuff! Didn't think I'd had that  much to  drink the night before! 

Sorry, haven't got time to answer this fully as I'm trying to plan where to go for January. Fancy Norfolk.

I remember Easter in the early 1970s being in the Bluebird at Treyarnon Bay and the snow arrived. Being young then, we decided to stick it out despite having no heating (no EHU in those days). We bought a paraffin heater and shivered our way through. Madness! 

Southerly camping near Cromer was ok when we used it, pub not far with food

All year round for us. We generally do 5 or 6 trips a year of up to 10 weeks at a time, and prior to Covid the number of nights away each year, for the last 18 yrs of so, was around 260. Even before I retired we would be away for all the major holiday periods, including the winter one, with the occasional weekends in between.  We are currently away till sometime in mid November, and still have our Xmas/New Year trip to plan and book. Have been on numerous sites in the snow, both CLs and club sites. Love getting out into the country on clear frosty days with snow on the ground.

There is nothing like a new forest site with 30ft of frost up the trees, ponies asleep on their feet on the road but the vans lit up 'overall' with Xmas lights.

Short, cold, grey and frequently damp days do little to inspire so we generally conclude sometime in November and restart around early March. If we get a nice bright day we will sometimes do a 'day out' in the van during the three months hibernation. A bit like hibernating bears really. It also gives me a bit of time to do stuff at home that's on the "I must get around to.." list.

All year round, and that started even when we had a tent and were camped at Wray Castle, Lake District, one Easter in the 80's, when we woke up to a lot of snow one morning.  It was magic, eerily still and quiet, we did have a blanket with us, as well as the sleeping bags, and weren't cold.  Since then, we've had motorhomes and caravans, been in Germany one December for the Xmas markets, at minus 12 for about a fortnight; no problem.  The heating in the vans has always been good, and we've never been cold, in fact, we both think there's something really cosy about being nice and warm inside, when it's freezing outside.  

Our first ever stay out in our MH was a cold snowy one. We stopped at Durham Grange, it was -10c that first night. We were cosy and warm, but I was a tad worried about the trailer tent next door🥶 We had a good few days up to Hexham for the Xmas Craft Market, that was a snowy day! OH has towed in snow as well, we used to visit Castleton each December with caravan. Nice to be on a Club Site with all the vans lit up😁

We have a CL booked for October, nothing after that yet, but we usually go up to Pickering area for OHs birthday. 

Haaarrruuummmppphhh !!

No 'van is an island, entire of itself  mutter mutter , shiver SNEEZE  !
