Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

And incur the wrath of Ping?

No thanks.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

They said that about this weekend and it's chucking it down here ;)

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

So long as it stays dry then yipppppeeee, it looks promising..............I don't fancy a re-enactment of the Farmyard Rally.

Is it just me or does it really suck that we have to be worrying about what the weather will be like in July.....:smt067

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

yep, I am currently sat in a fleece....Flaming June...my ar$....

But hey, nothing can be as wet as last years AR.....can it?

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

I'm not worried about it. If it rains it rains. I'll just go home its only 4 miles away :D

Weathers been good all this week here, we've had a bit of rain overnight and its overcast today, but its not cold.

I've found the metcheck site pretty accurate in the past, but I'm keeping everything crossed it stays dry.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

It WILL be sunny!

FACT.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

we'll see on the day

looks like it might be after all

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

dunno .. I have come across some very wet things in my life :D

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Just watched forecast on Countryfile and Friday looking dry with temps around 21 celsius. Bit wet and thundery earlier in the week and hot.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

did you forget NW3

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

NW3 was dry in comparison....seriously, it was very close, but at least the sun came out in Aber!!
At the last AR, the game of the day was cloud watching, as the hills in Yorkshire hold some very very bad black clouds.......it was like spotting giant waves at the seaside
'OMG look at the size of that.....its coming this way'

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

I remember that!! :lol:

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

IIRC, the AR was on a weekend that most of Yorkshire flooded severly. The Morrisons car park in Ripon,that we did a lunch stop in on the AR, was a lake just after we left. It was one of the few moments of dryness, then it looked like rain and we moved on......good job we did!!!
anyone remember the old granny paying in pennies at the petrol station there??

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Or Plowsie having a kip in a puddle, only waking up when his ear was full of rainwater! :lol:

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Man that car park was sooooooo comfy :D

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Oh-ohhhh....

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

its a few showers, friday is dry so you won't be pitching in a wet bog!!

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Just checked 3 different weather sites and they are all forecasting rain.:rolleyes:

Typically its glorious sunshine here today.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

well to me it looks like southern shandy drinkers rain...hoho

It doesn't look like the hardcore rain o the north....a couple of mm here and there equates to a spitting shower to me..:-)

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Don't worry Ed, they'll change the forecast a dozen times before the weekend. I NEVER believe the forecast this far ahead...............and even the forecast the day before is often wrong anyway. Don't know what they pay forecasters, but it's too much considering how useless they are:D

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

That's cos thet use the same source info.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

That was brilliant... We arrived in the dry- the only dry stretch all day just about- stopepd for food, and someone turned the taps on. Watching the vid Raf did of that stretch is hilarious in places, as he wades out of the car park...

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

anyone fancy bog trotting?.....flippin heck its gone from sunny to nasty bloody rain again for weekend, rain up here, rain down there......mudfest

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Its been baking hot here today, clouded over at about 4pm and we've had a bit of rain this evening but not much.

I found the metcheck to be pretty accurate but also somewhat pessmistic as well. I.e they'll say its going to rain and in reality you get a shower.

If it does rain well remember. We have the pub we can use and also we have a 12 x 12 tent, also I suspect a few peeps will be bringing gazeebo's and stuff.

Forecast is changing all the time. What I'm trying to say is dont let the weather put you off, If you coped with AR07 you'll cope with this year fine.

Liz and I live 4 miles from the campsite. I'll bump this thread with what the weather is doing now and again. Just to see if it tallies up with what Metcheck are saying.

This links also quite useful

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

its been baking here too, apart form this evening where the rain has bounced down

12x12 tent and gazebos?? Are you sure theres room, I remember there was concern for the amount of cars, how big is this field...maaaaaahooooosive:smt017


i'm sulking now, your link has given the prediction of heavy rain on saturday:(

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

We may be lucky on the reainfall front according to this, it appears to loop around the AR campsite and stay dry. Divine intervention maybe :cool:

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

To me it says brilliant sunshine all weekend.


<fingers in ears> la la la, can't hear you, la la la.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

That'll be the scotch mist ringing in your ears then!

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

We'll make room if we need to. The amount of cars coming is less than I thought and the field is alot bigger than I first thought it was !!

Weather here this morning is overcast & humind, its really muggy. I had to go to the dentist this morning and was sweating in my leathers.

We had some rain in the night but not much.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Yeah... :smt045 :lol:

Mind you forgot to get a vid cam for this year, meh. I am sure there will be a lot of them to cover everybody.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Yeah I get sweaty when I go to the dentist:D

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

Yes indeed. Not one of my best posts. :lol:

So long as it doesn't rain on Friday, I don't really care too much what the weather does.

Re: While I dont wish to tempt providence....
 

So that's Jamaxx as well as Gid for the pond :-dd
