Just back from a weekend in a caravan.
Was admiring the bravery of the 3 tents pitched there , by the sea on the east coast!
But glad to have the comforts of heating etc in the caravan.
Although the weather was much better than our last camping trip at the end of August!!!!
this weekend would have been fab for camping here in Norfolk. Temp today was 15 degrees, and still at 10 at the moment. We've camped in 5 degrees in May!
Do you mean do I go in the sea at this this time of year? then yes I do!! But I did have a wetsuit on! Went to Wareham last weekend and stayed
here The first day was really sunny and warm, however we did leave on the Sunday by 8am! Because of the torrential rain and gale force winds!!
I am planning a December trip!! Not sure whether its a good plan or not-will be taken the hot water bottle!
I'm actually quite serious about the wind. The models are all over the place but it could get pretty nasty.
discussion here When are you off? I'll try and give you a final update on that thread if you like (can't make any promises, got a dd to pack off to brownie camp - thankfully indoors)
In your situation (cos I quite like exciting stuff) I wouldn't be cancelling yet, but I would be paying close attention to the forecast. Perhaps have a 'pack up in panic' plan if you do go and pop anything you can in the car sat night just in case?
I know

If it were up to me

(yeah right!) we wouldn't be going!. It will be packing tent in rain on sunday that I'm dreading! Will be a big group of us though with our individual family tents, and a party marquee so lots of shelter.
Urg.
Aboard - have you seen the forecast! You may want some really really good pegs. And perhaps a boat.
I find hats and scarves in bed help... it's that damp coldness at night that gets you.
Ds did 4 nights in peak district last week for DoE expo. I thought it was mad, but he had a great time. I think it's been mild for the time of year just lately though.
