Got wet last weekend in Norfolk but off again this weekend to Canal Side in Shropshire, yes we're going with The Admiral.Been watching the forecasts and no 2 are saying the same thing so either we're going to get wet or we aren't!!

Who cares? We've camped in monsoons and typhoons and survived!

Hi,

We've got our first trip in our own tent starting on Sunday, 3 nights at Merely Court and 3 at Alpine Grove. All three of us are looking forward to it whatever the weather brings on.

can't go anywhere this weekend as dh working and got niece and nephew coming to stay for a few nights.  have fun everyone!

hoping to get away in september though for our last weekend (don't DO cold camping lol)

getting our new tent tomorrow though so might have to put it up in the garden to give it a test out!

We're off to West Wales, weather looks changable/showers. Though the forecast has been improving all week so fingers crossed!!!

Wine tastes the same in the rain!!!

Yes we're definitely still going (to Canal Side in Shropshire). As far as I'm aware the weather forecast for the weekend is reasonably ok, not brilliant sunshine, but no torrential rain storms either.

We were there last weekend and it did not stop raining from the time we put the tent up to the time we took it down.,

This was our first ever camp but really enjoyed the whole weekend. In actual fact listening to the rain at night was quite soothing

Great camp site BTW

I'm home alone this weekend.
She Who Must Be Obeyed is away visiting the errant sprogs for a week so I am left to my own devices.

 Have fun if you are out and about.

well if you're mad... so am I!!!!! same situation here.. we go Saturday for 8 nights and OH only managed to get one day off... so he'll return to home on Tues eve, will work wens/thurs/fri andhe will drive back after work Friday. thus getting another two nights...

Should be an experiance!!!!!

just got back from Swanage, we were due to stay until tomorrow, but the kids acted up so much last night (through the night) that this morning I said, "thats it, we are going home!".

Think they thought I wouldnt do it, but maybe they will learn for next time!

Must say I am really cross about it, was looking forward to the trip all week, and it ended up lasting a total of 28 hours.

yep, was a shame, but have babysitters sorted, and a restaurant booked for later this evening, so me and the oh can make the best of a bad weekend

Have fun at Trowbridge, just around the corner from us really
