Apparently there have been a record number of holidays booked for the UK this summer following last years scorcher of a summer. That being the case (and this year being a complete wash-out!) what's the betting there are a record number of overseas holidays booked for summer '08 - thereby leaving plenty of availability here in the UK....

Sorry, but we'll be camping in the South of France - I need at least 2 weeks of sun a year. Watch 2008 be the hottest summer in the UK on record now, LOL

from what I remember of last year we had a heatwave which ended on the first day of the school holidays & then it rained for 6 weeks - muther nature owes me 6 weeks of sunshine this year as from monday!

we moan when its hot, we moan when its cold, we moan when its wet. when do we moan that it is dry.

if people want to go abroad - let them, i will stick by my tent, i am proud to say that this is my country and i will camp in it no matter what it throws at me, i have never heard anyone say that UKs weather is predictable, if it was i would have more than one rain coat.   

sorry but that is how i feel.

bryan_k - where was you last summer. It was baking hot for the kids holiday..

This year is just a freaky year - it will be sunny again soon :-) I think August will be hot (hopefully)

Hi

We went to Luxembourg last year for the first 2 weeks of the 6 week holidays and after 4 days of scorching weather, it rained non stop, it even rained all the way home.

So based on last years weather and after the 1000 mile round trip, we are going to Ripley Caravan Park which is only 60 miles away.

My daughter loves it, and rain is rain no matter where you are.

Cheers

Paul
