We set off last weekend in awful rain to go to Pickering North Yorkshire. Would have cancelled but grandchildren were excited. Never pitched in pouring rain so planning what to do first on way down. We live near Durham, and weather forecast was bad all over.
We got half way and rain was easing. Bye the time we came off A19 it was just odd spots of rain. With fingers crossed we arrived at the site and although grass was wet, it wasnt raining and we pitched tent. Kids were running around with their wellies on. Only odd spots of rain during the afternoon, and when we went out for tea (a treat) the sun was shining.
During the night it rained but fine when we got up.
We then decided to go to Scarborough and, when we arrived we had a heavy shower so we went in a cafe for a cuppa. Sun came out and kids had a few rides on the shows and we sat on the beach and had sandwiches. It started to rain slighty, but by the time we got back to the site it had stopped. we played games on the field and had a barbecue. On Sunday morning it was lovely, warm and clear skies when I took the youngest to the toilet block at 6.45am. I made a cuppa and we both sat outside in the morning sunshine. No rain at all Sunday moring and packed up no bother.
Then heading back on A19 it was torrential rain and when we got home my daughter said it had been terrible all weekend. She couldnt believe we'd had lovely time and had been on beach.
So ElleB maybe the forecast will be wrong, just like it was for us. Enjoy your trip
