Camping is booked - we've got a field to ourselves, so you can pretty much turn up on the weekend if you must. Its only a problem if you're a softie who needs a "roof" and "walls" and a "mattress", as those are going fast.

I might need to book accomodation because I was unbelievably cold last year, I had almost ALL of my clothes and jackets on and was still shivering!

Theres probably a comment in there about taking the proper equipment - last time I needed to keep socks on, it was below zero and snowed (not elephant or dragon rally snow, but still...).

I must remember to get a longer tent so that the other half of my body is in it

Yep, get yourself a decent quality sleeping bag MBK. If you wear a pair of trackkies and socks, inside a decent sleeping bag, and pull a walking jacket over your head, you should be toasty in freezing temperatures. If your going to do lots of biking weekends where you camp, it'll be worth the investment. You'll get a decent sleeping bag for about the same as one night in a B&B would cost you.

Alternatively I'm sure you could recruit somebody to climb in there with you and keep you warm (I'm happily married, sorry).

DO NOT BOOK WITH THE SITE IF YOU ARE CAMPING.
If you do you will incur the tent fee surcharge. All monies for camping will be sorted out when you arrive. We have to arrange it between ourselves.
I need to have a chat with them, so that folks can book under our group I suppose, so it can be waivered in advance.
