   Hi, what shall we do?, we are supposed to going to whitby from sunday for 4 nights but really can't decide what to do.

  We know about going prepared but having seem some of the sites in the lakes at the weekend i think even noah would be suprised at the water just laying on the fields.

  Which is the most accurate weather forecast to use, one saying rain all week and another saying sunny with showers, i know which one i would like it to be.

  Any ideas of what to do with a teenager if it is raining and a springer spaniel puppy in toe, alot of indoor places will be a no no because of molly (puppy) .

  Sorry for rambling but really don't know what to do, really want to go but not if sat in a muddy rain bath.

 thanks

Just go for it.

The weather does what the weather does.  Buy your teenager a pairof waterproof trousers and wellies and let him go out with the dog on the beach - the dog won't care if it's raining. It's often better over there than here. Today in my bit of the Lakes it 's a much nicer day I can even now see blue sky appearing.

Whitby's really nice you'll love it - rain or sun.  It's got to stop raining at some point and this weekend could be it!!

Agree witrh Taviour too. 

 When at home and it rains mine moan about being bored.When camping they get out there in waterproofs and we can't get them in!

Here at home with kids in and out for drinks and snacks every 5 mins the door bell ringing or garage door banging down,, me shouting take your wet shoes off - cannot wait to be in my tent!

OH just called to say m8 at work selling roof box,  perhaps i can go to Woolworth sales find a few bargains to fill it up with!

Hi Chorelydave, thanks for the advice, we are not to far away from you in sunny Euxton ( well its sunny today ).

 We are going to go and have a great time no matter what the weather as this is our summer holiday, fortunately we had already decided to book a cottage in west scotland for the week after so at least if we get wet the first week we should be okay the second week.

thanks

Supposed to be going to Malton on Monday, looking at the forecast on metcheck today I really don't like the look of things on Tuesday:-

That's a lot of rain and the winds don't look too good either! Really in 2 minds what to do at the moment, don't want to risk damaging our tent on it's first outing. Bloody weather, sometimes I really hate this country (ok most of the time I really hate this country!).
