We would never go camping if we relied on the weather forecast.  [8D]

If you are going to Seahouses then look at the BBC weather forecast, it is based on information from RAF Boulmer, just a few miles from Seahouses.

We had gusts of upto 75mph (apparently....and it felt like it!) with rain recently when we were already camped. It was totally unexpected and not on weather forecast that morning! We had already been there 5 days, it eventually settled to a manageable 35 for several hours. Tent stayed up but it was a bit scary at times!

i was in the bad winds/gales last year...spent a day and a sleepless night 'tent watching'..

the deltas held strong but my nerves gave way and i had to pack up and leave(lucky as the winds got much worse the following days and wrecked many tents along the east coast sites)

Bernie...
      yes it's seahouses we are off to...the BBC weather is ok...but on previous hollys we have gone by Accuweather and it has always been fairly accurate...hope this time it is wrong...

I check 3 different weather sites then believe the two that match closest, or sometimes I believe the best one if I want to cheer myself up. I find Netweather.tv the most accurate one though

Sorry I am useless with advice, as I would still go. Double check in the morning. Hopefully, it will be a great camping weather report.

If you do decide to go, have a safe journey and a lovely, well earnt relaxing break. xx

Kit, take the canvas because if we get the heat wave we have been waiting for it will be cooler than the plastic bag. If your wanting to know about the wind I use xcweather

What ever you do have a great time, catch up with you when you get back. xx
