Is anyone due to go camping next week worried our tent may blow away and maybe us with it!!!!

[Dickorydockwhatthe]

So bloody typical all of this lovely weather and as of next week there is a threat of a summer 'potential hurricane' storm. Do I just ring up and cancel

What where ? We are off to South Devon on Saturday for a week ! I'm off to look at the weather reports :(

We are going to Cornwall I really need this break I think might cry if we have to cancel as the prices seem to awfully high this year probably due to the term time holiday ban.

I'm off to Wales. No wonder, it usually pelts it when I go. Just take plenty of pegs.

We camped last weekend and were forecast storms and constant rain but only had a few showers through the night.
Be positive! (Easy to say when you're in a house!)

Noooooooo
We are camping in Kent. I am fully positive if good weather

Bollocks.crap. Bugger.
I am off to Cornwall on sat!
And it will be my first time on my own with the DCs.
I can't even put my tent up properly in good weather!!!!!!

Oh shit. I will add extra pegs to my list, wine, spare poles, wine, and some wine and anything else I need to prepare???

More wine???

Noooooooo! We are due for our first ever camping week away there's going to be a hurricane ? How are you supposed to camp with three small people in the rain?

I only popped over to camping to ask if any experts have 'a list' for packing. Will add waterproofs to that list then..

Wherw have you seen this potential hurricane storm forecast?
I have not heard about it yet and am camping for 2 weeks from Saturday.
Do you have any more details as to when or where?

There is a thread in the weather section with a DM link which says that we are due to get the after storms from hurricane bertha (I think). Who knows.

That's the one Smile why oh why oh why.

Am beginning to feel like our camping holiday is doomed.

We have had one problem after another.

Am praying tge forecast maybe more optimistic for the East Coast.

Positive thoughts to wish the storm away

Take extra-strong tentpegs and some strong washing line or rope. Peg everything down like crazy and use rope to tie tent to hedge/trees/car in all directions. Then drink the wine.

We survived a pretty bad storm in Cornwall 2 years back using this method Nearly everyone else went home but we had nowhere to go!

Still the forecast may well have changed by then...

What lovely weather is that then? We've just got back from Cornwall and while we had a few decent days it certainly wasn't beach weather and we had one night when I really thought we'd be washed away before morning!

So don't think the weather is just picking on you .

Besides, I've read that the hurricane is a 'possibility' and might peter out over the sea or bypass us altogether, they just don't know, so don't panic just yet.

Besides, it's what happens at home while you are gone that you should worry about. We got back to find my greenhouse, bike shed and allotment destroyed by golfball-sized hailstones and our telly blown up by a lightning strike...

Where and when was that pixel?!

omg Pixel

I am leaving dh at home so hopefully he can deal with a lightening strike or even come and rescue me and the dcs.

It was Brighton, monday last week. There was lots of flooding too but luckily for us we live on top of a hill.

Oh bloody hell pixel. We have had mixed weather here but not her like that!!

We are going camping to Suffolk Coast on Friday. The campsite is on a freaking cliff! What was I thinking? (Oh yes I remember I had drunk lots of wine and had rose tinted specs imagining sitting overlooking the sea and beach).

Please let the forecast be wrong!

I 2nd that we're off to Devon on Saturday :(

Ha ha, we left it to the last minute to book (as usual ) and I got fed up with looking at nice places that were booked up, so I told Dh to "just book anything, as long as it isn't on the edge of a cliff" .

Last forecast I watched said the remains of a hurricane will hit northern Scotland as storms. Cornwall should have normal summer weather -rain then- good luck and enjoy the rest !
