What to do when it's raining?

[scubapauly]

So, my overnighter is planned for this weekend. Looks like the weather is still going to be a bit rough and rainy.

In case we can't rely on conversation alone lol what do people do when the weather gets crappy?

Build the fire up share a few drinks and tell jokes etc. Much the same as when you go down the pub.

When the conversation lulls just sit and watch the bush tv

Go home.




Only joking! Just enjoy the time out there and don't let the rain put you off doing things you'd normally do, just make sure you have plenty of cover to do them under

Always something to do, count sheep, listen to owls, laugh at the rain, play patience on your phone, read a book, sort your kit, make something....... have fun I was out on wed night in the bad weather and was fine.

All the best

Excellent. Looking forward to it no matter the weather

I had planned this weekend away, but cancelled last night after looking at the BBC and met office forecast for Brecon. I'm not just a good weather camper as some here know, but when there are only two of you torrential rain does put the dampers (excuse the pun) on things. Next week I hope

PS, its peeing down here in Abernant just now (after a very heavy hail storm earlier)

Will tell you on Sunday- Away to the Cairngorms tomorrow and none of my usual suspects can make it. Have my iPhone and a good book, with plenty of whiskey and a lovely warm sleeping bag... sure I'll cope, despite the snow forecast.. (i hope)

I was going to say 'make out' as they say over the pond. But thinking about who I usualy go with thats not a option! lmao.

I sometimes take a lightweight project with me, but have in the past brushed up on knots etc.

 

[Night Phoenix]

Go for a swim

The more Severe the weather the better cold, wet, wind, snow.with the correct equipment and training you should have no problems so just enjoy it.

 

[stovie]

No such thing as bad weather...just bad planning

you have no control over the first...only your imagination limits the second...Get out and enjoy...

Don't forget, your skin is waterproof, easily dried infront of a fire...

Half the fun is setting up camp to expect all eventualities...

Enjoy the weekend, whatever occurs...life is too short to miss the opportunities

Take some cord with you and braid it, or take a crooked knife with you and carve a spoon or a bowl.

 

[wanderingblade]

Make Voodoo masks and hang them from trees to scare off other campers.

Put on my waterprofs and carry on as per normal - I do live in Wales so if I stopped for rain I would never get anything done!
I am known as a "Rain god" as clouds follow me to every Meet.....

 

[Oblio13]

Bring a good book.

 

[gsfgaz]

i like to go a walk , the wilder the weather the better , as long as you've got ur gear on it's fine...

 

[thatch]

If you have a tarp with you, there is nothing as relaxing as sitting under your tarp and just listening to the rain while you whittle/carve a spoon or walking stick or just about anything else. Read a book. Sitting inside a tent can get a bit boring. I like to sit outside and just enjoy nature. Good or bad

 

[lamper]

HAHAHA!

I convince a couple of mates to come camping Sat - Sun this weekend. We knew it was gonna rain, just not that much!!!

We sat under the trusty DD 3x3 tarp and had a good old natter, made some dinner, and drank loads of tea!

Gonna try another one for Dec 18th if anyone is interested (East Sussex Peeps).

Trading in my Land-Rover for an ark!
