were off to to wooler on friday and Im praying the wind dies down as kids have been looking forward to the week away for months.

Hubby is worried about the wind and says if its to windy we wont go its not worth the risk of writing caravan, car or even worse us off.

I've seen 2 caravans on their sides in the past, both in strong wind conditions, both on a downhill slope. You can only assume it was due to a comination of going too fast and strong side winds. One was on the M62 bridge at Howden which is sometimes closed to highsided vehicles and caravans when windy,

I drove over there on Sunday evening in high wind, speed limit was down to 40mph but there were still people zooming along regardless. My large mpv is a heavy vehicle but I still got blown sideways a bit. A caravan in front of me was doing a bit of swaying but nothing too bad.
