hiya, this is the state of play so far from the met office...

Friday:
Any remaining rain clearing from southern counties to leave the rest of the day dry and bright, with most places seeing some sunshine. Staying fairly cool though, with northerly winds. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:
A little rain on Sunday, though mainly light, but otherwise plenty of fine and dry weather with sunny periods. Chilly overnight in rural areas, but daytime temperatures close to normal.

hmm, not too bad ?

Nice one matey,

Localized flooding in Henley In Arden today so fingers crossed by tomorrow that will have drained away and we should be in for a great weekend.

Hi,

I will bring my bivi bag. I would swap it for a DD under blanket or sell it if anyone interested...
