That went well: Not!

I decided to do the coast bit first and set off in broken cloud. By the time I found a site it was raining so I sat in the car till it eased off before pitching the tent and getting the bed and sleeping bag in it.... then it started again. Had a meal and a few beers in the local to pass the time away before retiring.

Yesterday was grey and grizzly so I drove to Hornsea. The wind off the sea made it like Siberia. I did a good walk up the coast and returned for late afternoon fish and chips in a nice warm cafe before heading back to camp. Round about 5:30 the sky cleared and the sun came out, Yowzer! Or maybe not. There was not enough heat in the day so the clear skies mean that the night was cold - about 7 or 8º.

I was frozen this morning and everything was still damp and grey so I gave up and came home. At least I know that all the gear works so it was not a complete waste of time, but I would have liked it a bit drier and warmer.

Jan, I don't appear to be having much luck with my travels of late.

But Saundra will back me up, the forecast was OK, but the reality was dire - cold wind, lashing rain and not even warm, and it's June FCOL.

Wondering what the weather will be like on the day of the meet!!

If this carries on Frank we might need more than waterproofs for our boat trip!

Ally, I cannot get a forecast for July, but it rains at some point every day from the 7th to the 24th, apart from the 12th when it is cloudy.

I'll bring a brolly.... and water wings.
