When I went camping at New Year I used a picnic blanket on top of the groundsheet, a car blanket folded double on top of that, a foam camping mat on top of that, my self-inflating mat on top of that, a fleece blanket on top of that and then my sleeping bag. I was pretty insulated from the ground but not so much from the air. I would advise running an extension into the awning so that you can have a heater on at night if you can. Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement.

During the NY weekend camping trip at South Devon, I had the additional luxury in the form of an electric under blanket, placed on top of a fleece blanket and not directly on the airbed. I used it all night at low setting as it is designed to do, in conjunction with a 2kW heater on medium, without tripping the EHU. We also evaluated each blanket's water resistance (or waterproofing) during our durability test. We poured a quarter cup of water onto each blanket, let it stand for 15 minutes, then wiped up the moisture with a towel and turned the blankets over to see how much the water soaked through. For blankets with a fluffy side, we also considered whether they would snag easily if caught by jewelry or a standard picnic basket.Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, national insurance and more Picnic blankets are widely available in high street shops during the summer months and online year round.
