Im looking twice a day at the forecast for ours for Monday, and everytime i look its different lol. Itll be fine, its mostly down to pitching properly anyway, as long as you take the time to do it right in the first place, youll have a great time :D

Good luck with the weather, definitely try and pitch somewhere with a bit of shelter and with the back to the wind if at all possible. My last tent was damaged by high winds, and one of the design requirements for the replacement was the ability to withstand wind and bad weather conditions. Hence I bought a Dutch pyramid tent, which was categorised as a "storm" tent due to its shape and design. It has coped well over Easter and when I was in Glencoe last year. However, the dog was startled by the noise, and could not settle. Hence I got him a pair of Mutt Muffs for this season. Hopefully, they will arrive in time tomorrow for our trip so that he can try them out. DK

The site is quite sheltered but can get waterlogged (we had to abandon a BH break there in 2011). I'm sure you will be fine, check with staff as they are very helpful.

After reading the title of this thread, I was going to say I have the same problem after eating cabbage last night. However I now realise it's not that kind of "wind".

Oh bless, just seen a picture of some Mutt Muffs and they are so adorable! Do you think your dog will keep them on? Can't wait to see photos of him wearing them. What is his name? He is a lovely dog.
