Just got back from 8 nights in Hereford and an (1st ever) impromptu trip to Derbyshire for 3 nights - all in all a great "virtually" 2 week holiday with only 1/2 day or slight showers - the rest was a mix of warm cloud and warm sun - great!!! Soooo lucky with the weather - it did get cool at night and some nights still needed my hot water bottle but heho, still great!  Got back with a tan, some workmates thought I'd been abroad!!  Then on Sunday it was far too hot to get out in the wilderness that became our garden but got all camping gear washed and dried and no need to wash the tent down - brilliant!!

DK just to wish you and your little dog a happy holiday - hope it's not too hot for you - need to cool some of those Doombars!!  Safe journey - enjoy!

Get yourself over to Gimme Shelter Jelboy! Or do you have anywhere else in mind?

We are just back from a little unplanned three nighter at Scone. I saw the forecast at the weekend and took advantage. Yesterday in Perth it was 29 degrees. I've never felt heat like it in Scotland. Hope it lasts!!

If you mean we are enjoying the highest July temperatures since 2003, you may be right but I'm sure we've had good weather in July during the past ten years.

Going back to the OP's topic, when the temperature hits the high 20s it is too hot for me. However, sleeping in a tent is the best way to keep cool at night.

Not in north west England we haven't! 2006 was dry, but cool. 2004 and 2005 and 2007 to 2012 were cold and dull, with frequent monsoons. Believe me and ignore what the statisticians make up as they go along, I work at a college and get all July and August off work. I can assure you, since 2003 it's been dreadful.

Summer? What summer?

I started camping around 2005.
I have had some great camping up in the Lake District; with wall to wall sunshine.
I stayed at Park cliff site, October 2007, pure sunshine.
The only time it rained for me, was a couple of years ago, when my BIL went camping with us, for the first time. It rained on the second day.
