Hey, does anyone have a clue which part of the UK is going to have the best camping weather this week coming?

My aim is to go Weds, Thurs & Fri to miss the bank holiday madness.

Erm stick your head out of the window, that is about as accurate as it gets! For instance, this weekend it was meant to be better today than yesterday, so far we have had rain most of the morning whereas yesterday we had much more sun!

Go figure, pack for all eventualities and just get on with it.

Thanks Thomsonmum3! Ill remember North Wales...my boyfs Dad has a pad there so guess could always pack up & go to shelter!

Ali, I usually/used to get on with it, but as a ME/CFS sufferer I need dryer/warmer weather to cope better - as wet and chill makes me worse. I do love to camp and refuse to be hampered by a disabling condition which makes some people housebound!

I have my washing out and cloudy but blue skies, dry and warm, sunny spells & breezy weather here at home, maybe I should get on with just camping in the garden!! Lol.

Long range for UK (Sky News) says unsettled weather for much of UK, Central some showers maybe chilly. Hmmm...do I go or stay?

Have a look here  http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/HOME/

Hope this helps.

Trembles didn't mean it to come across in a harsh way, I meant just get on with it in the sense of work around it, do indoorsy things when it rains and outdoors when it's dry etc.

I use www.netweather.tv but in all honesty don't find any of them accurate, sometimes not even 24 hours ahead!

It will be fantastic all over the UK Weds/Thurs/Fri .........

How do I know?

Because we are at work then and can't go until Sat/Sun/Mon, for which I can guarantee rain.

I know you didnt mean it harshly! Lol.. I had to explain myself I guess as I come across as "wet" or daft to some!

English weather is a chore at the best of times, but when my hopes are dashed by a mis-predicted report it makes me feel really bad, as often trapped in the same old routine.

Hey ho...maybe next week, or try find a flysheet for my tent ad spray the skin with Nikwax!

Haha Paul you are sooo right! Sods Law eh?

I wish I was working, and just about scraped enough cash to get my gear uptodate! Happily site fees are abit cheaper mid week and usually quieter.

When I get back to work, ill bet it rains on my days off...after all, Sods Law right?

Ok, here are the differences....

Metcheck says UK Wed-Sat scattered showers, cloudy with some sunny spells, cool.

Netweather.tv say sunny spells with the odd shower but otherwise just cloudy.

Sky News say unsettled weather throughout the Uk.

Im hopefully heading to Derbyshire to Middle Hills Campsite, but will see how it goes!
