weather at avalanche?

[andytats]

Has anyone contacted avalanche to find out if they have any flood warnings or if they are flooded and what state the camping area is in is it boggy saturated etc it could be an interesting weekend

[Drift]

RNLI inshore life boat have been informed so we should be fine

[RatCav]

If the field is flooded, I hate to see what the course is like. People got stuck in the bottom bomb hole last year

[fudge]

well i hope it isnt too bad
but i have some special pegs for my tent
about 12-18" long

Havent been there but dont live far away, assuming they have had the same amount of rain as us in Northampton, the site will be a tad moist and sticky.....as for the camping area that could be interesting.

Approach water area with caution may be adviseable......

I would hazard a guess that trucks may have to be left in the car park area, at least the ground will be soft to lie on.

At least this year we may just get the tent pegs in

Sent avalanche and email, asking about site and camping conditions hope thats ok.

This is there reply.

Hi Pete,

Thank you your email.
Both the Campsite and the Quarry are very wet. It will make it very interesting for you guys.
Full mud tyres only!!! See you Friday afternoon.

Kind regards,

Robin.

It will make it very interesting for you guys.

[andytats]

I think this may be of more use if it keeps on raining

Saturday night could be interesting. -2 Time to pack the thermals

[Wilberforce]

I think I'm gonnae have to pack some bits of wood...
You boys on airbeds might get washed away in the rain if it floods, my camp bed and the six legs will sing about a foot into the ground if I don't bring something to spread the weight a bit.

[gregster]

Maybe an inflatable mallet under your sleeping bag might be a sensible precaution this time!

[snapper]

Ahh yah wuss'es... tis only a little bit of rain and the place is hardly like the middle of Sennalager during a month long rain storm

[Wilberforce]

Just hold it there a minute Frank...
WE'RE not the ones taking a bloomin' caravan! Who's the wuss??

[Fatbaz]

The campsite should be alright as most of it is on a slight slope so flooding won't be an issue though the ground may be a little soft. As long as it don't rain while we're there it'll be great.

As for Pete's email reply from Robin, if he says full muds he ain't joking. The site course will be like soup with lumps in it!

[Wilberforce]

So, the approximate colour and consistency of school gravy then, yes?

[Fatbaz]

Too old, can't remember that far back. Can relate it to the aftermath of too much cider and a curry though. Will probably smell like it too.
