Hi,

Well, I'm doing it for the first time next week woo hoo!

Only thing is I want to go Monday or Tuesday til Friday or Staurday (have actually booked Tues to Fri, but pretty it wouldn't be too much of a problem to change a bit if needed). Anyway the weather forecast at the mo for Mon is dry morning then light rain at 1pm, followed by heavy rain the rest of afternoo/evening/over night.

So is it better pitch on Monday before it starts raining, or on Tuesday when the ground will wet?

Katherine

Again, try and get pitched before it rains - somuch easier.

No camping question is a 'stupid' question - best to ask and be prepared than end up in a mess.

I have asked, and still do ask stupid questions. It's the best way to learn
