Hi fernsider

we too are off next week to newquay ,have some faith the weather will be fine and you all will all have fun ..thats the way i am thinking off it as the oppersit is beyond imagination ,i cant think about sitting in a tent with a 5 and a 2 yr old boy running round especally as they enjoy the outside way too much  to be stuck in a tent......... i think i will chuck them out side with their wellys on and an umbrella ..lol

How old are your kids?
Do you all have waterproofs?

A positive attitude from all really helps, and belief in the fact that you'll have a fab time whatever goes a long way!
We've camped in persistant rain a number of times and the kids just get on with it - they've fished in a stream, swum in the sea, played in the rain!!
Google or do a search of the area find cheap indoor activities so you have contingencies and just in case the forecast is accurate and you need an alternative to the wet! Museums? Cinema? Swim pool? Leisure centre - badminton/squash?
My 8 year old now has a scrapbook for trips - she keeps a 'diary' - drawings, writings, postcards, photos, tree rubbings, leaves etc etc. We have used these activities at times to fill wet times and then she takes her works into school for show and share!!
