Well hate to say it but here in the West Midlands (Bloxwich to be precise)we have has a couple of hours this afternoon where it was dry, but the rest of the day it has rained constantly, our garden is now looking like a pond, just waiting for the ducks!

Have been planning to go away for a weekend since the middle of June, but due to weather and other circumstances have not been able to go, have given up hope of getting a weekend in, anytime soon. Lets hope August improves greatly.

Well I suppose I am somewhere middle of the road when it comes to camping hardiness. Lets face it camping is an outdoor activity and its better when the sun shines. No-one actually enjoys wet days when you are living in a tent and when you get a whole week of rain like we did last year its not fun.

I am prepared to put the waterproofs on and go walking but when you get back to a damp tent and have no-where to dry stuff it can be tricky.

We were very lucky to get a mainly dry week in June. I would hate to think we dont manage to get the tent out again this summer - lets keep fingers crossed for August!

We went yesterday, to Billing Northamptonshire, and woke up this morning afloat. Thankfully this was only our 2 dayer to air the tent out.

If nothing else i know the tent is water proof. Kids still wanted to stay but water is over the ankles.

Quote: Originally posted by Sceptical Camper on 13/7/2012Ahhhh, all these threads complaining about the rain are music to my ears. The complaints have supplanted the previously prevalent simpering along the lines of "I love the gentle patter of raindrops on canvas as I lie in my cosy sleeping bag".

Now that it's really raining - and raining persistently - even the "I love the rain" brigade are waking up to the fact that rain and camping just do not mix.

Me, I hate the rain - always have, always will. And it seems I'm not alone after all

Totally agree Skip
