Well, I have rang the site this afternoon which we were due to go to on Sunday for two nights, and they said at the moment it is pretty waterlogged and more rain forecast, so they trying to put people off going. They said to ring back tomorrow in case it doesnt rain, but doesnt look very likely. They said if cars get stuck in the mud, the damage it causes takes weeks to recover, which is fair enough, they are lovely people at the site. So looks like a weekend at home...But we are off the the Isle of Wight in three weeks, so not long untill we do go again.

Anyone else had to cancel this weekend?

We had two heartbroken children yesterday when we told them our camping trip this weekend was off but we've just booked 5 days in Anglesey from next thurs so ..fingers crossed!!

The sun'll come out tomorrow...!!!!

We have called off our weekend too.  Raining here again and we don't have the right fixing kit for our new Thule backbox so all in all we decided we couldn't be fussed to go away.

I have just finished reading the report in the newspaper...apparently it needs to be 'winter' rain as 'spring/summer' rain does not work...!!!

Still gets your tent wet whatever the rain...

I just don't get this wrong type of rain larky!  Rain is rain is rain is rain.  It's all wet isn't it?  I think what they mean is that this time of year it evaporates quicker whereas in the winter you get more run off due to the temperature but surely if we continue to have so much rain and the temps stay reasonably low it must count for something?
