Camping season

When is camping a pleasure and when is it a pain? What season would peeps place on camping?

While I don't get on with cold air, like a true Brit, I'd say that the pleasure of camping was more about weather than seasons.

I've never regarded camping as a seasonal activity. However it has to be recognised that your kit & clothing is very much a seasonal issue.
I would struggle to recollect any camping I've done as a pain

It is.  It's more about having the right equipment, clothing and, most of all, company :-*

If you want a bivi bag for using under a tarp these Belgian surplus bags at £6.50 have been getting decent write ups - http://www.militarymart.co.uk//Camping/Tents/Bivouac/Belgian-mk1-Seyntex-Bivi-Bag/prod_1648.html

My tent is dried and packed away, after 32 nights in it this year my season is over, maybe out again on March.  I've tried winter camping, I have the right kit, I don't mind the cold, it's just the long nights.  Either I camp near a good pub, in which case I may as well stay there, or I get bored in my tent.
Good luck to those who continue, I'll be jealous when I see the photos, though not enough to join you.
