Rain Forecast for Long Weekend Camping?

Kit_e_kat9 · June 08, 2012, 05:34:38 PM

Hi,

The bureau has changed the forecast for the long weekend to "rain at times - moderate falls". The BF has gotten all grumpy about going camping now and wants to stay at home.

Should I persist with the camping angle and suffer through possible grumpy man moments OR should we just stay at home and he can suffer from grumpy female moments?

What's your advice? Vote required please.

I'll be keeping an eye on this until around 19:30 or so, but then I'll have to make a final decision ... to suffer or cancel.

Edit: There won't be crowds where we are going as their is a limited number permitted by the owner.

It can rain all it wants this weekend, I don't care

Because we're going away next weekend after the crowds leave

I'ld still go but if you decide not to there is plenty of things going on in Brisbane this weekend to keep you occupied. I'm hoping to go have a look at the caravan camping show this weekend and pick up another surf rod for the trip.

After a family conference (LOL) the wife and kids have decided to come with me to the Myswag meet up at Glen Davis. The forecast is for -6 on Saturday night. Hence we just got back from BCF with some thermals for the kiddies!

If nothing else it will be character building

Hi Kit_e, From my experience female grumpy moments are far worse to suffer than males,

so if I was he I would definitely go camping.
Break out the drizabone's.
Cheers Paul.

Sorry Kit_e voted before I read the thread go away even if it overnight, I'm staying at home as I'm moding the camper for our trip in 6 weeks and times running out fast.

Ok!
What's the decision?

??

jwb · June 08, 2012, 07:35:14 PM

Just saw the vote!

I reckon a wet weekend camping WILL allways BE better than a dry weekend at home!

cheers

I am the opposite. I am trying to conivce swmbo that the cool (3 overnight) air will improve her recovery time from a little cold

Sicilianmama · June 08, 2012, 08:44:05 PM

My vote goes to camping, we are heading out and I've been watching the weather forecasts all week, it's looking like showers and some rain but I figure we will find something to do. As long as it doesn't get torrential! Where are you off to Kit_e?

DEFINATELY go away, we are and we are going to be on the coast at swansea.

Yes Jason it does get cold there we have friends with a property at GLEN ALICE and have had some very icy mornings there.

yeah it is pretty busy however we don't have anyone either side of us so it's pretty quiet

Kit_e_kat9 · June 11, 2012, 06:04:51 PM

Well thanks everyone. When I last looked it was 6 go 2 stay ... and he changed his mind so we went. Back to Yandilla where we ran into (well they ran into us really) Ken & Rosie and Paul & his wife and child ... all MySwag Members ... who saw the set up and said "that'll be Kit_e for sure" ... and it was!

Yes it rained, yes it was cold, but we packed up almost dry before it rained once more.

It's the fire I can't have at home that makes me want to go camping!

Glad you made it to Sharp Park Sicillianmama! Mickange ... so borrowing that location as well ... maybe not till it's a little warmer though.

Was very glad I came home yesterday; the weather around Sydney has been awful for the past 30 hours.
