Friday's weather is SHOCKING - just when we are pitching our tents.. oh marvelous ](*,)


If you are there early enough (and your tent will fit) you could always use one of the easy-up-gazeebos over the tent while erecting, and then remove it once your tent is watertight.

my lift is not picking me up until about 3pm - so will not get there till 6 i guess.

at least it will still be light - at least July means it doesn;t get dark too early... I'll keep an eye on the forcast from that webpage Toni uses - it might blow over by the time i arrive... in this country it rains all day and teh sun comes out at 8pm ](*,)

Greeny, they should allow the van in, there is a camping area next to where we are and you may be able to leave the van there - generally there is a bit of leeway for the vans carrying gear.

Hope the weather's going to pick up! ](*,)

I was just debating the colours - they don't do pink, but i'll get some in red and some in transparent, which is sort of either side :)

The UK met office seems to think Sat won't be raining - I'm optimistically going with what they say \:D/

(Friday is a washout, though :( )

With all the rain on friday, it'll probably be muddy, so bring your wellies, not your best shoes.

Might also make the football competition interesting.
