Poor weather

Our CL in Anglesey the other week was fairly well drained just bl@@dy freezing due to the Siberian gale force winds. Even the taps on each pitch froze one night/morning.

Agreed ..... let's hope the weather generally improves.

"Taps on every pitch"

Which site please.

isn't this 'weather' issue down to fact that we have no fixed date for the Easter Hols?....mid March for a week's vanning.....in the UK?

by all means retain the religious significance of Easter, wherever it falls, but why have an arbitrary weeks holiday to tie in....

yes, have the Bank Holidays and celebrations but how about a fixed (later) five day break detached from this, meaning that folk get away in better weather and we don't have the 'compulsory' holiday in hail, snow, freezing weather and the associated cancellations and impact on suppliers....

just seems bonkers to me to have the working families, some of whom can't change this break, being 'committed' to a weeks touring and the associated weather interruptions......

just a thought and NOT a 'religious' posting...

as it happens, when I was working (pre vanning) I used the two bank holidays to get a 16 day break (with only 8 days holiday allowance used) to go somewhere warm, which seems to cope pretty well with early season 'weather'....

There's no such thing as bad weather- Just not wearing the right clothes. 

There is "weather", which in the UK is variable, due to us being an Island .

Vanning in the UK at this time is unpredictable, but great times can be had and scenic locations can be visited even in the foulest of weather. It's all down to having a positive attitude. 

 If wall to wall sunshine is required at this time of the year, head down to southern Europe or the Canaries.

You should try our local SW rain just now, even the right clothes are saturated! The ground is waterlogged, the rivers are full, mud is the order of the day.

Likewise on generally dry Essex. Our stepping stones in the grass are ponds 😲. No weather warning for us- as yet 😉

I was supposed to be stopping in Somerset on the way back home. I've decided to go straight back ☹️

Having the right clothes is ok but having wet dogs in a new van is not fun. The rain is hammering down as I write.

Some supreme being is currently smiling on our bit of Yorkshire, it's been a rather nice few days here. We had some rain overnight, and expect some later, but nothing much to get worried about at moment. Famous last words of course, I will post photos of snow on Monday!

Yet further west in sunny Cornwall it’s just that - sunny.
