camping washout??

[harrygraciepie]

Omg so im just packing the car to go camping with the hubby and 2 kids, aged 5 and 1 tommorow to sunny north wales and am so worried lol, Have prepared myself with all in one waterproofs and wellies for kids etc but the other half never been camping before and is already trying to put the dampners on it (so to speak) all the online weather reports conflicting, please be sunny :)

I'll join in the praying/worrying - we're heading SE with our three DCs - youngest is 4m - we've had thunder and lightning here :o :o

N Wales here too.

Forecast not looking good is it harry.

oh maaaan! what are we to do, at least your 4month old wont be able slide around in the muddy mess (presumably) lol. could not for the life of me find a site with electric hook up still available so bin and bought a gas heater today good luck flubba!

where you going slubba? we off llangollen (my logic was as its little further inland it wouldnt rain ha ha!) i convinced myself tomoz would be ok but just took another look and its horrid!

The Lleyn.

Monday looks a bit better...

Off to the Llyn on Sunday.

I bought a new cossie and everything for a sun-kissed day on Whistling Sands. It can't rain.

oooh smug, I will be on whistling sands also.

I am the Elle Macpherson looky likey in a shorty wetsuit sporting that VERY most attractive of looks: wet suited thigh - Parisian moonlight white lower legs - and then wetsuit bootee at the bottom.

Oh yeah

You may still get to use the cossie smugmum :o (swimming from your tent to the car!) :o

Nooooooo!

I'll be working the beached-whale-in-Boden look huddled under blankets in my newly-purchased Coleman beach shelter.

I will run athletically past you in your Coleman shelter, laughing in my wetsuit.
I might even Arab spring with the joy of being back under the North Wales sunshine.

Oh the joys I simply cannot wait for the drive there judging by hubbys bag on at the moment trying to fit the bike rack to the back of the car, he reckons it wont go an estate car ha ha! needed my help but i just been told to get back inside and take the kids who were say pressing the hazzards and playin d.j with the radio knob, thats what he is

Another off to the Llyn here on Saturday. Am also doing lots of praying as Dh is heading back up to Old Trafford for a football match on Sunday leaving me without a car and the horrific thought of two small boys and a washed away tent

oh deary me! can your o/h take my hubby with him fatzak? lol

I have that horrid mix of excitement mix with dread regarding this weekend!

im sure it will be fine once ive crafted us a raft to float down the shops on, (cos mr T here sure as hellcouldnt craft us one lol) im bit worried as we only be arriving late avo and dont fancy a crap swompy spot

Hello we are off to (gulp) Mull of Kintyre. I am taking all the duvets we own, full wet weather gear and I haven't bothered with any swim gear as it's going to be baltic^

Friend suggest we take a spade so we can dig a trench round the tent if the torrential rain gets too much.

For exactly this kind of situation I would love a woodburner.

Good luck to you all!

Only us Brits eh! are you taking any small children Norm?

We're off to the Gower. I can't seem to find 2 weather forecasts that agree so for now I'm chosing to believe the BBC as there's seems best

theirs

Yes - three aged 6,4 and 2. We are with two other families ^all with children of a similar age.

There is a cafe. A games room. A drying room. And I have a bottle of brandy.

as I was reading that i was wondering when the booze would come into the equation! Just packed me some vodka and pimms?!? well u never know there may be a miracle!

you most definately do bluddymoflo wind indeed in every meaning of the word!
