Hi All

Just an idea but It works for me!

If you have Vista or Win 7 you can have desk top gatgets, amongst these gadgets are several Weather ones to down load - in most of them you open up the options bit and select your area or the area you are gonna camp at - these are pretty accurate and worth a try - if you right click said gadget you can dim them or make them transparent as to not overpower your desktop.

If you know the current weather for your chosen camp site before you get there it might help to plan if it's gonna be wet or not?

Hope some one might get some use of this little tip :-)

If this works, it's a quick screen shot of a weather gadget...

Yeah they are handy...

I just change my area from Humberside to say Cumbria for instance, and I can see what's happening there weatherwise if was to camp there. Sorted! lol
