Hot break camping

[marmite]

Given the appalling bad weather are there likely to be any issues with camping as far as we know at this stage?

Dont know yet but we are also camping so fingers crossed

It's early days to say what the weather will do we may have a heat wave by then lol

I hope so im so sick of rain :evil:

God me too

The reason for my post was to find out if anyone knew what the present state of the ground was like. If camping is okay at the moment then it is unlikely to get much worse-I hope.However if the current ground conditions are unsuitable,maybe a contingency plan would be appropriate.

Good thinking I'll ask the admin if they can get in touch with the brewery for an update

I've had a message off Robawarell who has been to the brewery it reads as follows
Righty ho. I've been down to the brewery. Supprisingly the fields are firm at the moment and will stand a bit of traffic. The ground is obviously wet and will cut up a little if it was being used today. Please note to the caravan users that the field does have a slope in it so extra blocks may be needed to level a big van up. The sun is out today and will dry this field quickly and so long as we do not get absolute deluge rain I am sure all will be fine.

That sounds positive Eddie. I'm sure the sun will be shining by August. :whistle:

Slight slope not a problem, but are we talking mountain or mole hill? Can't be that bad surely as tents need levelish ground too.

As for the weather. I am forcasting a cracker of a weekend.

the field is used every year in August for camping for the Barlow Carnival, no one has a problem with the slope for tents or caravans but it does have a slight slope to it.

Sounds perfect. Thanks Robbarwell

[Mark1964]
