Dilemma! We have planned to camp in Swanage this weekend but there are some storms forecast, I am still tempted to go as the storms we were due earlier in the week didn't actually happen. What would you do?

Definitely go, if you cancelled a trip every time due to the weather forecast, in this country you would never go anywhere!

Great decision - you can't put a trip in the UK off because of a bit of rain - you'd end up never going anywhere!

It's not the rain, it's the wind that concerns me for next week. It's looking to be very windy indeed.
