....SUCCESS!!!17

   Torrential rain on the journey to Golden Sands. Heavy drizzle when we got there, but as soon as we parked up, the rain stopped & we got lucky with our location as the ground wasn't boggy. The tent went up really well & easier than we could've imagined.It started to rain just after we finished, so took kids swimming & came out to sunny blue skies, so back to tents for BBQs, then on to complex so kids can dance & play on arcades. Back to tents to settle in for night (had to wait for the mini riot that kicked off at midnight to subside17) realised how cold it could get but dealt with that. Woke up in the morning for a full on heatwave that lasted the day, when all weather reports said rain & showers in the afternoon. I thought we over packed as the car was fit to burst (literally) now realise I need to get a roof box!!!

     Hopefully we'll get another couple of trips in, locally, this year then go further afield & for longer next year.

glad u enjoyed it - just goes to show u cant trust the weather forecast - truth is its heavy showers they forecast & showers cant b predicted wer they will fall!! I go regardless of forecast & see what happens when i get there unless there has been heavy continuous rain wer im going & the pitch is likely to be waterlogged

Back home now, Tricia16, only there for a couple of nights. But we were in the field with the trailers.
