the soil near Milton Keynes is so saturated with water that the campgrounds are not accessible.
Bugger, hope spring comes sometimes, with less rain.
Big decisions to make.the soil near Milton Keynes is so saturated with water that the campgrounds are not accessible.
Bugger, hope spring comes sometimes, with less rain.
Local events without hardstanding carparks affected too.
When do we think the official close of this thread will happen?
It must be close - blue skies, gorgeous sun yesterday, and today’s forecast looks perfect for a bike ride and gardening. If you think I’m being smug, it’s a Scottish prerogative : March and April are basically our summer and it’s downhill after that !

We like to get away in the RV once a month from spring to autumn but unless I find sites with hardstanding pitches that's a complete no-no at present, we'd sink.Bugger, hope spring comes sometimes, with less rain.

I didn’t know there was a summer thread. Is it the same as the winter one with just less mentions of snow ie our amount of moaning about the rain stays the same?thepritch said:

Summer thread is basically the winter thread. I didn’t know there was a summer thread. Is it the same as the winter one with just less mentions of snow ie our amount of moaning about the rain stays the same?Difference is instead of Snow disappointment its Thunderstorm disappointment.

The rules are the summer thread is opened by Puggit when 20C or above is recorded somewhere in the UK (keeping it to Puggit makes it much easier to find said quoted stats) I didn’t know there was a summer thread. Is it the same as the winter one with just less mentions of snow ie our amount of moaning about the rain stays the same?The summer thread generally has people in two camps, people complaining they don't like the warmth, and the opposite to the winter thread where the south has better weather than the north...

Unless we get rebels like Gweeds who started this thread. I still haven’t recovered from that. The summer thread generally has people in two camps, people complaining they don't like the warmth, and the opposite to the winter thread where the south has better weather than the north...
