the rain ,ah the rain,part and parcel of a fishermans hobby,as long as i have confidence in my bivvy,tent call it what you will the rain and bad weather dosent bother me,as long as its not too severe,,,i dry all my fishing gear and camping gear off and that is nearly all the time, there is not many dry sunny days in my game,,,and when everything is dried off and back in order i cant wait to go again,

We just started camping this year in the UK, have gone on 3 holidays since July and have yet to pitch in a wind free zone and always seem to take down when it's raining.
We have just come to expect wind and rain on our trips and look at having sunshine as a bonus.
Don't give up, it is great fun and you obviously staked your tent properly so next time you'll know your good and can sleep.
The funny thing was that a lot of people were taking the mickey about the amount of guy ropes on our tent and the fact that we had pegged them all out!
Being inexperienced campers and pitching in very strong winds we decided to take no chances! But it seemed that most people only use a few of the main ropes so we got lots of "wow you've got that well pegged down" and " can't believe how many guy ropes you've used!" comments.
Laughing on the other side of their faces on Monday morning though weren't they .....and for some of them from the other side of the site to where they started too!
