Georgous blue sky, there.

We cancelled and ended up in a log cabin & I have to say Im definitely glad we did - the weather was grim grim grim!  Friday rained all day solid, Saturday had pleasant moments but was chilly, rained again Saturday night and blew a gale all day Sunday.  Woke up yesterday to lovely blue skies with a chilly wind - headed back home where it was cold and overcast hey ho!!  I would go again Spring bank holiday but would book something much nearer the time.

Hopefully by Whit our much hyped heatwave will be upon us!!!

We left one day early too.

Got really wet on Friday as trying to put handirack on top of car in a sudden downpour!  Then got even wetter as struggled to strap handibag onto handirack! Phew! finally underway an hour later than we'd planned. 

Arrived on site and put up the tent etc.  Saturday evening we knew the forecast was for rain so we decided to try out the new Coleman Canopy.  Glad we did.  about 4.30 it started to rain, we all (5 adults and one small dog) enjoyed an evening drinking and eating under the canopy.  It kept raining until 1pm the next day, but as there was a severe weather forecast for the rest of the day for the area, and the temperature was due to be zero, we decided that enough was enough and packed up early...Although not as early as the family next to us who left the site at 2.15am! on Sunday and left their brand new tents (3!) behind!

Really enjoyed the company & camping, could have stayed if the rain/wind/freezing and been not combined together.  Already booked for the next bank holiday.  :-)

We dropped out for May bank Hol.

The final decision not to go came on the Friday when the OH said, we have the heating on in the house, how are we going to feel in a tent??

I didn't put up a fight and at the end of the day, the weather can make or break a camping trip. On a Sunny weekend, there's nothing more I would rather be doing.
