I check all of them and go with the best one

I don't bother anymore, just take kit for all weathers, a bit of everything. I was caught up in a tent in the famous Michael Fish storms, never trusted a weather forecast since.

I've only abandoned a pitch twice in forty years, both due to flooding.Most times it's enjoyable whatever the weather.

I love being comfy in a tent when it's cats n dogs outside, my tent has a 5000mm hydrostatic head or what ever the term is? heavy rain, especially on a night is really comforting... it's quite a plus for me but I can't really explain it? I suppose it's a bit like playing one of them there relaxation tapes you get from hippy shop?

If it rains all day, a squirt of fabrisil on me sox and I'm champion lol

As to mud at the door way - 3 of them interlocking plasic floor panel squares in a row work really well :-) and I'd rather put a tent up in the rain then take one down!
