In the main the weather forecasts are no too bad and I always check them.

Have to say that I find our local TV forecast is MUCH more accurate than the national TV which naturally tends to be more general.

Last week when the kids were on holiday, I took myself and my 3 kids (plus an extra 1) to a local campsite on the Thursday.... this was after seeing the forecast of showers over the next few days. We took a chance, and boy, did it pay off!. It was glorious sunshine all the time we were there...

The only drawback was we really wasn't prepared for the lovely weather and had more 'warmer' clothes rather than vest tops and shorts.

So in short, no, we don't take much notice of the weatherman (just check the seaweed )

Not after our last camp. We couldnt get away for the BH weekend which was very wet and windy. We had 5 nights booked from the Monday and the forecast for the week was more of the same. Heavy rain and thunderstorms. We ummed and ahhd on the Monday morning then rang the site who said it wasnt raining and the pitches were well drained so we took a chance and went. Very glad we did as we had 6 days of lovely weather, hot and sunny with only light rain in the night. I will never take any notice of the weather forecast again.

We always look at the met weather site when we are at home but if we are going camping looking at the forecast beforehand is a no no. We go anyway, went over the BH and apart from the sunday the weather was good and we had a brilliant time.

The forecasts are not always right.  If you have the time to go camping, take the chance and go.  After getting through the storms in Bude at Whitsun we feel we can cope with any weather now.  When the weather is sunny you really appreciate it more.  Fingers crossed for next weekend going to Lower Lacon in Wem, Shrops.  Would appreciate comments if anyone has been there before.
