Good luck!
Neat excuse to do pub lunch vs cooking…

We’ve been away this week, due home Saturday. I don’t care if the tent is wet, it’s going to the tip after this trip, this is its final hurrah and new tent next year!

Good luck OP Smile

Same here, so annoying!

You can still have a lovely trip. And no glares about your camping stove 😎

Where are you going?

We’re going to Dorset, never actually been that way before so quite looking forward to it despite the rain

It can be really cosy with rain on a camping trip!
And it probably won't rain the whole time.

Sidebeforeself · 26/08/2026 22:18

Well its is Bank Holiday weekend..rain is compulsory I think!

supersonicginandtonic · 26/08/2026 22:48

we were supposed to be camping. We’ve bailed and booked a static 🙈

Yes, I just hope it doesn't leak. Reproofed it last year but didn't use it again to check it.

It's our local agricultural show this week and the forecast is awful. I feel really sorry for the organisers and participants as I know how much work goes into it. Obviously there's always a risk of bad weather but it seems really unfair when the rest of the Summer has been so dry. Fingers crossed it turns out better than forecast.
Good luck campers - hope you manage to stay dry and enjoy your trips.

I’m currently away at a festival. Had a great couple of days, but a storm is due in the morning and looking to be very wet until Sunday when we leave. Dreading packing away wet and getting everything dry tbh, but for now, we’ve tightened guy ropes and made sure nothing is touching the sides, so just hoping it’s not too miserable!

Heading to a festival today… thunderstorms predicted for the time we will be pitching up… pray for me!! Can’t wait for tent to be up, and have a can in my hand, after a few I won’t care about the weather 😂😂😂
