Weve just got back from Anglesey and the wind and rain are still driving. Weather dreadful to pitch and de pitch in think we only just got dry and warm as it was time to pack away!
However yesterday was gorgeous, spent the whole day on the beach so its swings and roundabouts. I have to say Im so impressed with the tent. It stood up to hellish winds and driving rain all night every night with barely a drip coming through. An awful lot of people packed up and left but we stayed the course lol. Hope you havent gone to Fedw Uchaf by the way more on that to follow.
Lligwy beach is beautiful though really decent place to spend the sunny times.

i went up to the lakes yesterday intending to stay 3 nights. The wind and rain saw me off unfortunately having just lasted the one. I was going to stick it out but having got soaked despite wearing waterproofs, watching cars get stuck in the muddy field, watched the tent take a battering from the wind....i wimped out! Having said that i camp to enjoy myself not to test my resolve. Ive now got the mud encrusted tent up in my garden drying....or it could be mocking me im not sure!

My comiserations to everyone who has cancelled or been washed out, I know just how that feels especially when you only have so much holiday you can take.
I'm finding it difficult to book these days as you have no idea what the weather will be in the so-called summer. It's no wonder campsites are cramming people in during the short window of good weather, it's probably the only way they can make a living.

sharlene if its any consolation i wish i hadnt gone on my trip ive just returned from rather than have had all the stress and hassle of surviving a windy night, getting a soaking then having to take down a mud splattered soaking tent i then had to pitch again to dry in the garden when i got home. September tends to be a nice month these days so you never know!

We're off to Pembrey in Wales this weekend, we've got to be there so cancelling isn't an option but I've just checked Metcheck and it's a remarkably good forecast.
I don't normally bother with forecasts as they are usually wrong so now I'm worried!
Was the forecast bad for Fforest Fields Sharlene?
