We have just returned early from the Lincolnshire Coast. Last night was very stormy, 30mph winds and very wet - I didnt sleep at all, wasnt too worried about the tent as it has coped with worse but it wasnt very nice.

We saw the forecast for tonight and tomorrow and decided to pack up and head home a day early which considering the rain I think it was the right decision.

Dont underestimate the dangers of strong winds on even the best tent. I remember hearing a post on here about someone being carried 8ft into the air inside their tent trying to put it up in a storm. If in doubt maybe wait for another weekend.

hi everyone - with all your info updates we have decided to cancel our trip but with a heavy heart

we would have loved to have gone but as relatively newbies with a new tent thats unfamiliar and wet, windy, damp miserable conditions we decided to wait and hopefully we ll go next weekend instead.

thanks loads for all the weather info uv all provided.

The weather is looking ok in a couple of weeks I think. I'm aiming for a weekend away then!

Ahh nothing a good kagool and some wellies cant cope with.  

I went out in skinny jeans, t shirt, leather boots & jacket when it was grey but dry, contemplated taking the car but decided to walk to the school (10 mins walk). By the time I got to the school it looked like I had bathed in my clothes and I had puddles in my boots! A good kagool & wellies wouldn't have stopped my jeans getting wet and puddles in the boots, removing wet skinny jeans is no easy task!

We were at the Farmyard Party last weekend where it rained non-stop. This is a "before" picture - it got muddy after this:
