Was looking forward to my longer camping trip and to be on safe side I booked and paid deposits. I had problems last year with torrential rain and my general health and don't. want a similar experience this time. Long range forecast suggests gusty wind and rain for Thursday when I pitch and Sunday when I decamp and repitch, then weather improves.
I must decide today whether I want to cancel C&CC sites for return of deposits as I can't afford to lose £50; I will lose deposit on York camp. Neither can I afford to replace tent if it was damaged.
My parents (in their 90's) my daughter and doctor all expressed concern whether I should be solo camping in current weather conditions; that, my health issues and the driving distances. I'm also feeling a bit daunted.
My options, as I see them, are:
Continue as planned and hope for the best
Cancel and get deposits returned then go elsewhere at short notice
Consider delaying a week when weather expected to improve
Note: entirely giving up camping is NOT yet an option!
Comments are invited as I must decide today.
