Yep were're just back too.... lovely site but pitty about the weather.... just turned into a mud bath so we came home a day early.

Enjoyed ourselves though.......... apart from the botched expedition on sunday night (nice little dog walk that turned into a 6 mile hike in the dark and rain) thanks to Daisy for rescuing us though.

Just need to find somewhere big enough to dry/clean the tent now

Just to let you all know we also arrived back late last night. We should have been leaving today but the weather forcast looked bad so we packed up and left yesterday late afternoon. We still had a good time even with the weather being poor. Its a great site with lots to see and do. Hope the weather gets better for those still there and those still to go. Im sure you will make the best of it like the rest of us did.

We pulled out two days early too.

I am afraid the wet and slippery sloping campsite was just too dangerous for my new Metal Mickey Knees to cope with. Bad enough in daylight, it would have been suicidal to venture out after dark.

Rather looks like we will be "flat" camping for a while yet.

Nice to meet up with you and  Isla again Lobey ,loved your little cute van amazing it was .Shame the weather was so awfull. though it was ok on the friday we were there .

bailed out today after 3 good days and last night being a nightmare, when i arrived on wednesday the site was okay in places but soft in others, it actually dried out apart from the worst muddy bits down at the bottom of the hill but with last night's continous downpour the field was back to being very soft again

was a good meet, we had a bonfire on friday night along with a good few ales, big thanks to pauline and joan for supplying me with tea when it was too wet to boil me own kettle and to everyone that made the distance. it was a good meet and 2008 will be even better

tent is now drying in the garage and groundsheets are drying as well before scraping the mud off

And here I thought that we were experiencing Global Warming.

Reading Alan126's signature, I think we are experiencing from Global Wetting!

Just got back and busy trying to get the kids clothes back to the colour they were before they decided to have mud fights!! 

Had a really good time tho, despite the rain, and the kids loved it.

Glad you got home OK. I am beginning to think I am not meant to have my lovely PERFECT Nebraska XXL. I have had three now and all faulty We are going to call Mark at Yeomans in Ambleside tomorrow and see what he says. I want another XXL, but think this time Iwill insist Mark ptches it before we take it, then I`m going to go through it with a VERY fine toothcomb and warn him if it is another leaker he`s getting it straight back!!

Enjoyed Bruces even though the weather was awful most of the time. I`m sick of rain and mud now, but at least we`ve proved we`re not fair weather campers!
