Last Minute Cancellation

I'm not far from the South coast. The max forecasted wind speed tomorrow here is 13 knots.

Not many places in Cornwall are far from the S Coast or the N Coast😂😂😂

  As the crow flies I am about 25 miles from the Solent. This morning it is raining hard but next to no wind and it is expected to clear away by noon. If H was worried about the wind, he could have simply postponed his trip by 24/36 hours rather than cancel it all.

At the age of H and others , us included ,we also would have cancelled ,when going away it is more of a check "appointments/medications" to see what time there is before any of them are needed,

If a journey entails more than about 130 miles an overnight is normally booked,before the final part to our destination so a 24/36 hour,delay would make a week ?away not viable for us

Have they moved Bedfordshire then? 25 miles north of the Solent will get you to Andover/Basingstoke and that's still in Hampshire when I last looked. Trust me, It's been honking down here.

What has age got to do with it JVB? You are either fit to drive or you are not. Some of us have regular medicals and eye checks to ensure this is so.

This is the first time I have ever cancelled and hence why I sort how to respond. Today the area I was going to has an amber weather warning as follows:-

Heavy rain is expected to bring some flooding and transport disruption.

- Homes and businesses are likely to be flooded, causing damage to some buildings

- Fast flowing or deep floodwater is likely, causing danger to life

- Delays and some cancellations to train and bus services are likely

- Spray and flooding probably leading to difficult driving conditions and some road closures

- A good chance some communities cut off by flooded roads

So Peedee I am glad you are in a good Place and enjoy yourself.

Don't fret about it, Mr H. You did what was right for you. It matters not what others think. You've also done the honourable thing in offering recompense to the site owner.

+1, the same detractors would attack those who throw caution to the wind & set out to either have a mishap or create issues for others🤷🏻‍♂️
if in doubt don’t do it👍🏻

It's a yellow warning here H and it has just stopped raining, probably temporary? Thanks for your good  wishes, stay safe.
