Hi everyone we have arrived back today from our weekend away to Charmouth in Devon. 5 miles from Lyme Regis. Well set out on Friday from home (Reading) at 10.45 am and arrived at the site at 13:45. The weather was good on the arrival, checked in and set out to find the pitching, found were to pitch and set out to erect the tent (Haven 800). This was not a challenging task as we had a practice run on setup a few weeks ago, We managed to erect the tent up in about 1hr and 15 mins, unloaded the car with the rest of the stuff and got the inside of the tent sorted. Finally got it all sorted and went down to see the old man (who came with us in his caravan) and had our dinner at his van. Anyway the night was drawing in and decided to call it a night, so walked back to the tent and got settled in for the night.
Woke up at about 4.00 am in the morning busting for a waz, got dressed as quickly as possible unzipped the tent door and WOW daylight, mist (low cloud) and still busting for a waz, couldn't hold it any longer so.............. (you can imagine the rest) didn't get to the toilet block, anyway then decided to sit in the car for a smoke and listen to the radio, so one did, finished the fag and then started to nod off. After about half an hour woke up and decided to go back into the tent to get some more sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Snore, snore, snore. Anyway eventually woke up to the sound of (no not singing birds or alike) but to it p1ssing down with bloody RAIN

. Well this made me a bit dogged off as you can imagine, so one said " Thats ok it's just a passing shower" to cut a long story short IT DIDN'T STOP RAINING UNTIL THIS BLOODY MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!

. Thankfully we were leaving today so got up and started to pack up. Got everything packed away by 10.30 this morning and left for the trip home at 12.15 and arrived back home at 15.00. So the morel of this story is look at the weather before taking a trip away for the weekend camping and if going to be crap all weekend DON'T BOTHER GOING!!!!
