We should be going away tomorrow for a week and due to a health problem that I have my hubby isn't keen to go. Even if I manage to talk him round, the 5 day forecast is bad. Lots of rain, lightening on Saturday and. It a day thats completely dry.

What would u do? Would you go regardless of weather or would having a 7 & 9yr old with u make u think twice?

You have all the right equipment? I would rather be camping then at work.

I would go. I went away on Monday for one night with a friend and our kids, and we nearly didn't go as the forecast for Tuesday was heavy rain yet it barely rained at all, and we were able to pack everything away dry.
I would have been annoyed if we hadn't gone, the forecast always seems to predict the worst it may be and quite often it's not that bad,

We (Myself, Hubby and Son 7&1/2) are off to Cornwall too!!(St Austell) on Saturday for 10 nights and the weather can do what it wants!

At the end of the day, it's camping! So take the the rough with the smooth. Be prepared for any conditions. It makes for a more relaxed and enjoyable trip.

Never forget why it is you like camping in the first place; unless you camp abroad for your holidays & are guarenteed Sun and heat! Us Brits are a hardy bunch and can make the most of anything when we put our minds to it!!!!!!!

Get yourself sorted and I bet you'll have a ball in the end! The kids will love it.

I would go what ever the weather. We are off the 17th for 10 nights, with 2 kids 5 and 9, plus another family. we are all going what ever the weather.

That is what camping is about rain, frost, sunshine, cold you just need to be prepared for the daily weather changes. Go and enjoy yourself and dont worry about the weather.

Remember kids love to splash in the puddles, take loads of pics.
