i have.... had a campus brekinridge delux, dome tent we are now in the process of a frame tent... the only advice i can give is to make sure your guy ropes are tight and pegged in really well. we found that our tent was hit from the top and the roof bent in and was quite scary to climb out of!! we literally stayed up all night holding down the different parts of the tent depending on the winds direction! i am not exagerating !!

we had shelter from our transit van on one side but wide open on the other... i can honestly say the next morining the number of tents, small andlarge all dome in the bin was quite a lot....

please be extra careful and try and get in the centre of the middle field. this has the best shelter

apart from the wind on the 2nd to last night we had a brilliant time, the stream was fab and the kids loved it. It was such a traig waste to a lovely holiday.

keep me posted on how you get on.

foxy

we spent the last night in our friednsd frame tent and thats why we wont one as theirs didn't move!!!

hi ya all i took the tent out last weekend ,just me and two of the kids we went to north wales we had seen the weather forcast ,but well a little snow hail and frost we will brave it.never in the world did we think of the gale force winds as we struggled to put the tent up,our tent is a large frame tent and as it took off over our heads we could hear a couple of men laughing .it was one of the worst experience of putting the tent up,at one point i said to the kids we just cant do it well we,d bin trying hour and half.but guess what we did it and yes had a great time back out this weekend .and would just like to say if any of those gentlemen are reading this well i hope that your mother never needs help

I hate the weather too. We havent been able to go camping since sometime last year. We were hoping to go sometime this week but couldn't because it started raining again.
Best to go in the summer eh. When your'e sure of what the weather's going to be like.

Are you sure what the weather is going to be like in the summer? We had first week of school holidays last summer in Scarborough. The weather was cool, wet and one very stormy night where the rain came into the tent from under the ground sheet!!

France for us this summer!

Cool. I expect you are right. But it is better than going in the winter when it's like that all the time. We're going to scottland this summer and really hope the weather will be nice. Hope your's is too!

Camping in bad weather is not what I worry about. It's putting the tent away wet that's the problem and then finding a nice day to air it out!
