Well it's been heavy rain most of the day here in the NorthWest, and mid day temps are down to +16DegC, we even had hailstone with one of the downpours.

I do take my hat of to folk who go family camping in the UK, I gave that game up back in 1978, and ever since have gone for our fortnights campings, in the South of France, during July.

In all these years, we have always had brilliant sunshine, and temps of +40DegC, for the whole fortnight, it realy does make the 1000 miles drive from our home to campsite, worth all the effort.

I'd rather stay at home than suffer 40'C heat for a fortnight. Far too hot for me. How can you do anything...hike, cycle, sightsee...in that sort of temperature? My idea of a nice day is about 20'C, overcast but no rain and a bit of a breeze to cool things down a bit.

Pain in a the blooming bum eh.

We are going away over the weekend and as long as the tent doesn't blow away I wont mind the rain as OH and I just looking forward to a break
