Thunder and lightning?

[ILoveMyMonkey]

So seasoned tent campers, tonight's storm has got me thinking, what should we do in a thunderstorm? Stay in the tent or get in the car? We also have foil backed foam mats for under our SIMs but could these be lethal in a thunderstorm?

FYI we've never been camping before, our first trip is booked for the summer hols do it's all new to us.

*so not do (stupid autocorrect).

Yep, you should get in the car.

Here's some info, it's Canadian but the basics remain the same

We are in a tent in a storm in Lincolnshire now! Everyone else asleep though...

Thanks for the link Flavia that was a useful read.

Oh my, hope you survived the night unscafed Cat.

All fine in the end. Home now in our own beds. The children slept through the whole thing!
