How do you have a nice holiday on the moors in the rain? This is the question that is troubling me. The four of us are going for a week in Bodmin and Metcheck have it as a rainy week! I was planning to buy a new tent with SIG but it's been veto'd, so we're taking the old Vango Venture 500 and a borrowed Quechua 6.2. This might work out better in a way cos I bet one of them stays dry! In fact I think we'll have one as a wet clothes and cooking tent and the other a cosy little nest. Hopefully.

Any tips for rainy camping? As a kid I remember it as all good fun, muddy wellies and card games, but that was in a caravan! How do you manage wet waterproofs, mud, chaotic kids and still have a nice holiday?

hi patp i would'nt take any notice of the weather reports for a start i will bet you if you look again tomorrow it would have probably changed anyway and listening to the news and weather reports on telly this morning it doesnt sound to bad to me. if you do go and it rains and you enjoy it just think how much fun you will have when its sunny.

waterproofs are a must have whatever the weather report says the kids wont care what the weather doing so just enjoy

Hi,

We went to Mablethorpe two years ago in July there were gale force winds and torrential rain but it was the best camping holiday we have ever had.

Enjoy.... and remember "I DON'T CARE WHAT THE WEATHERMAN SAYS......."
