Heh, it's time to play that game again.... http://www.metcheck.com does long-range forecasts, but if anybody has any pine cones, seaweed or aching bunions, they'll probably give us a more accurate picture! :wink:

Forecast - cloud, cloud, sun / showers.

I've found that this site http://uk.weather.com/weather/10day-Portsmouth-UKXX0115 has been fairly accurate in the past and currently it says that it's going to be partly cloudy on Friday 20% chance of precipitation, Light Rain and Windy for Saturday and Light Rain for Sunday with a 60% chance of precipitation for both days

Sorry to add more gloom to the parade but the page Pete-59 looked at was Portsmouth, GZ is nearer to Bournemouth which looks to be wetter!
If it aint raining it aint training, start packing the wet weather gear then...
I dont think it'll be a disaster though now that the foliage will have come right up, the high canopy should help and a lot of the bases have covered areas. Steiner warned me on a previous post about "Chuchills Reveng" glad I took heed of his warnings :)

Haha!

Oh boy, brings back memories.... we'd just driven half way up a mountain for about 20 mins, to the "staging post" as it were - in the middle of nowhere. And she asked Guy... "Are there any toilets here?"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Put it this way, the weather is so fickle these days, it could be rain one minute or sun the next. You just can't tell...and I wouln't put much faith in the weather man...oh god! Dose this mean I've also tempted fate... :(

Sod it, we're British, we should be used it by now, our skin is specifically designed for the wet!

:D


Hang on! (x) of you, (y) of me, dont mind playing Airsoft, I make that Pimms O’clock
