Hi ribble just been and had a look at the sites I use, Met office only offers them by request it seems and metcheck only offers data for the past twenty four hours

The main thing is your tent survived and the experience hasn't put you off lol

Many thanks..... and are there any 3 (or even 4) season family tents on the market.... I'm sure anyone camping in the wind the last week would think about buying one!

3-season? Definately...a good frame tent will be a lot sturdier than the comparable berth size of synthetic tent. If you got a pyramid style design it would be even better. I'd hesitate to suggest any family size tent would be suitable all four seasons though. Anyway, it's not the season that counts, it's the wind speed.Most tents would be fine in a dead calm day in January, while as you've found a gale force wind in August will cause most tents to struggle.
