Yeah  i know what you mean about getting wet, would just like them to only get wet from their own doing..........not the weather if possible.

By the way how many have you got?.... Any tips to stop them pulling on the leads?




They are suppose to pull,its in their genes.

Our Blue pulled up to being about 12,he then calmed down until he died when he was nearly 15.
Wish he was still here,I would gladly let him pull my arm off.

I had a springer that pulled and a Halti collar cured it,after a few weeks she was walking normally without the Halti.

I check with BBC Weather for the five day forecast and for the wind I check the met office, they are pretty accurate.

Had to give up the camping due to the rubbish Weather and Wind, so got myself a campervan!

i've pretty much given up with weather forecasts...last year we booked our main 2 week summer holiday after being promised a mini heatwave and it was a total washout that almost destroyed our previous tent...stuck it out tho and as usual had a great time, tho all our wonderful walking plans were totally scuppered...

this year so far we've been promised another heatwave and/or torrential rain plus strong winds, so i've decided not to waste my time worrying about it and just go with the flow...hopefully not literally...!!

I looked on Metcheck this morning and apparently there are going to be winds around 280 mph in Oxford next weekend, with gusts up to 333 mph!!!!

We used to go by metcheck but find them way out now, as someone has already said we were expecting winds of around 200mph the other weekend and it ended up being about 10mph

camping and loving it.

I don't think it is possible to accurately forecast anything over 7 days and even 7 days isn't very reliable no matter which service you use. I find after 7 days they all seem to forecast torrential rain, snow drifts and tornados just in case they get caught out like Michael Fish

We had a great time very chilled and relaxing,managed to see a barn owl , a dear ( dont no who was more suprised us or the deer, just cut right across our path as we walked through some fields,luckily Max was busy trying to flush out more phesants from the long grass).

Will try to put photos on later.

Site was nice and quiet with only a handful of campers on , very nice, cant wait for august now though!

Please can anybody tell me the best forecast to use, we have looked at Met check, accuweather and bbc  all seem to say different for the same areas.




We check them all and believe the one with the best forecast! Optimists? Certainly!

I want to use any weather site that will forecast sun and a bit of heat for Scotland. Last summer was miserable and this year is shaping up to be the same - I am so fed up!
