Camperjam weather is it worth it ?

[crede999]

I don't want to sound funny but after all the shows that have been cancelled this year and after seeing the forcast I can't understand why this one hasn't been postponed giving the amber flood warning :? :shock:

I understand there's big costs etc for the organisers

But Raining for three days doesn't sound like a fun to me !

I'd rather be at Camper Jam though.

Im affraid to say that a show wont be cancelled for 3 days rain, thats just tough luck i think.
Ive been told by a mate who lives local that Weston Park has very good drainage so unless things get biblical then no chance of a flood, which i suppose could result in it being called off.

Its just crap sitting it out in the rain but thats the year where having.

Just checked the weather and the BBC are forecasting heavy rain possibly tonight and then again tomorrow. Im still setting off from Devon tonight and fingers crossed we might see some brighter spells over the weekend. As we know the Met Office dont get it right very often. (They cant get the Exeter weather right and the Met Office is based here :shock: )

Went to 'Dubs Mania' a few weeks back, camped at this same venue and it didn't stop raining all night and all the next day. The grass was wet, the vehicles and people were wet, but there wasn't a spot of mud to be seen anywhere, even with vehicles driving off road.
The only thing this weather will actually affect is peoples morale if anything.



....Feel the love!

Lots of big trees...........they are thirsty buggers.

 

[sparkywig]

And the couple of hundred thousand spent on drainage last year.... :lol:

It will be fine guys, the suns out here at the moment (Bristol) and the weather is coming from the South East (for a change) so I recon it will miss Westons Park

Dull and dry here in Exeter at the moment for a change and the weather dose seem to coming from the SE, but the West Midlands are on a severe weather warning and its cutting across in a swage from the SE to the NW.
News shows the rain over the Midlands between 10 and around 4 tomorrow, but dose look better for Saturday and no rain on the Met office website chart for Sunday.
Get packed up and go camping folks. See you all in the Beat tent tomorrow night.
Must rush, better make the most of this dry weather to pack the bus etc.
