You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Mrs ws, the tribe and her sisters lot have been there since Wednesday. I'm due to join them tonight. I wonder if the van will break down on the way there.... 🙄
We are the ones who have cursed the bank holiday weather next weekend.
Chuckling at our friends coming back from France on the ferry tomorrow. So glad we came back yesterday when it was a millpond.
Yup, north Pennines tonight. Can't imagine there'll be that much rain there 8)
I keep hearing horror stories and checking the mountain weather forecast again, doesn't look great but I've seen worse, what am I missing?
We're potentially camping in Glen Shiel for two nights, although our backup plan is a nice remote bothy somewhere with a 25km coastal walk to reach it (me and 10 others, it's a paying group 😉 )
Nop ... Off to spain to sit around a pool for a week (after a morning run each day)
The only thing damp will be that pool, beer and the Med for a spot of kayaking one day
Have fun
Theres a nice low front coming off the atlantic tonight.. gonna be good surf over the weekend. Crap weekend for camping. Expect 40+mph winds and rain.
The worst will be in the SW

its the 24hr 2CV race at Anglesey circuit this weekend. so i shall be out marshalling from 9am saturday through to 10am Sunday
Still taking the bike up in the van. May end up bailing tomorrow a day early. Nothing I love more than drying out wet camping gear back at home 🙄

VW Fest on the IoW?
Was on the ferry with loads of vans yesterday. Poor, poor fools. 😉
Yes!
weather has improved slightly in Gloucestershire though......... hopefully
I'm a builder. I do transit not vw 8)
Just wet derbyshire for us. Regular riding loop literally at the tent door so not all bad....

To be fair, I think the forecast has improved a bit over the last couple of days. At the beginning of the week they were predicting some sort of monsoon but it looks like actually we're just going to get a bit wet.
I was out in the (VW) van yesterday.... Was nice sitting outside till 2am with a full moon, cloudless sky in just jeans and shirt.
Nowhere near the UK, mind.

Big and blown out doesn't equal good.
I'm doing a 110 mile bike ride from Bath to Exmouth on Saturday 😥
My other half is working at a festival near Stirling this weekend. She was going to camp rather than driving an hour each way each day....
Got a couple of days and a night camping earlier this week, not a chance this weekend. My wife is in Cornwall at a party tomorrow where there will be a marquee. Not entirely filled with confidence given the predicted 40-50mph winds.
Any other idiotic fools camping this weekend?
Nope!
Jacked in camping after 5 soaking trips on the trot.
A static caravan is a minimum requirement now!

Your right. I'm not sure there will be a marquee....
Not camping, however I am planning on pitching my new, £30, 1 man tent in the garden to test its waterproofing though.
I'm going to be indoors though.
Your right. I'm not sure there will be a marquee....
Not for long, anyway. Shame, it's my niece's 18th, long in the planning.
I'd planned on doing the sdw over 2 days with a bivvy tonight. Saw the forecast and got my train ticket refunded! Didn't see the point of being miserable...
Weather in New Forest was a lot better than forecast today, heavy rain for hours on end was actually some light rain with a few 10min sections of not so light rain. Shorts were only 'a bit damp' after a 4 hr yomp in the forest.
Hope nobody drowned, I camped at Green Man for four days, Thursday to this morning, and I wisely found a nice spot next to a high fence, at the top of a bit of high ground, but on the flat, with a row of decent loos fifteen feet away.
Being Wales, and the mountains, it rained every day, but I think the sensible ones survived ok, others may have got really rather damp who were camped on the slopes.
Just sat outside the tent In the new forest with a brew on , watching the stars. Lovely day and night (so far).

Bacon rolls and tea this morning in "Terrible weather" 😆
Mind that Jasper!
Yeah lots them little buggas about
Two days excellent hiking in Glen Shiel and Skye, stayed dry and if anything could have done with more wind, midgies were apocalyptic, have never seen worse and have now postponed my early September hiking holiday till early October, it will take that long just to clean all the dead midgies out of my kit... 😯
Maybe a day in a two man tent to get a bit of fishing at the coast and get the high tide... But a quick back track to join the masses for a hangover on bank holiday Sunday piss up as per usual!

Did she?
I was there all weekend, wasn't to bad, bit muddy at the entrance to the arena but other than thatit was fine.
Where was she working?
Camped Thursday to Monday at Escot Park for Beautiful Days. Got a bit wet (but nothing like last year) but the wind made a couple of trips back to the tent each day to hammer back in tent pegs a must.
