A few spots of rain this afternoon…..
It got to within a couple of inches from the door step and we aborted. Thankfully we could still drive out.

Its photos and posts like these my wife is reluctant to go camping anymore.
But unfortunaly this is more and more common than it used to be in the past.
I am very glad that all ended well for you guys.
And thankfully that nothing happened or broke when packed up en went.

Yes. It had a decent slope on it.
The site has some decent drains but I think they just got overwhelmed.

I'll need the Cali as it’ll take me 2 days to get there! Might take you up on this one day.

PS how long does it normally take you to get back to the Forest from there?

If it’s clear run (never happen) 10 1/2hrs.
I always stop at least once Matterdale is perfect or Moffat area way back (greymares tail ish)

Yeti stuff is amazing, I wouldn’t even say price as cons.
Have loads of there stuff, my yeti bottle has been dropped so many times and still haven’t broke inter liner. Had it about 5yrs now.
SoCal in Millbrook Southampton has a massive range of stock, alway have to pop in when down south.

not really it's a great mug, well made and keeps drinks hot get the 14oz version which is the one i have as more to drink is a win win... also note that it isnt completly spill proof just stops drink splashing out if knocked etc.. not had an issue so far bought in March25.
