We set off at weekend in terrible rain, live near Durham. May have cancelled but grandchildren excited about our trip to Pickering.

Got there and pitched before drops of rain started.

Took wellies and wore them on site most of time, only because grass wet, not muddy.

 Went to Scarborough on Sat and kids played on beach. we did have heavy rain shower but went in for cuppa then sun back out. After that odd shower then sun, all day.

Sunday sitting outside tent at 7am blue sky and warm, beautiful and so glad we went afterall.

At home it had rained all weekend!

Camped in -5 few weeks ago and wasnt too keen on that though.

I think camping with a dog puts a real dampener on camping in rain, we have a long haired German Shepherd who takes forever to dry at home when we take him out for an hour in the evening if it's raining never mind for days at a time in a tent. Not many indoor places accept dogs (Crich Tramway Museum- indoor/outdoor parts in the Peak District does if that's useful to anybody) so we tend not to go if weather is forecast like that at the weekend just gone.
