Just pulled up the met report for the Tunbridge Wells area as it's been peeing down here the last couple of day. Doesn't make too good reading I fear:

This is a good seven day one we use at work, the weather contained within is likely to be similar however.

[rambo1969]

The weather will be fine next week - trust me.

 

PS. I went to Beltring today and it's muddy already.......... Pack wellingtons.

[Tony B]

If it was early today, by now you'll need a boat. It has been stair rods and thunderstorms all afternoon, someone find that bloody butterfly that is supposed to flap it's wings and squash the B******D :argh:

Got there at 3:30pm and left at 4:30pm. It didn't rain while I was there, but it did on the way home.

[chambers101]

Mud dont frighten us were off roaders. At least the off road course will be full of mud can't wait to give the 101 a good old thrashing.

[john wheatley (R.I.P.)]

Hi Gang,

You cheerful bunch of buggers, did you never hear how the sun only shines on the good, rain or shine we'll have a good time(assuming the beer don't get washed away) :cry:

Regards,

John.

Trust me it is bloody muddy down there, but what a hoot in 4 wheel drive.

[ChrisPWRR]

Ha ha I'm taking my rover car (not my landie) down there later!

[ratty]

It’s the re-enactors. :box:

Always doing the Somme can’t they try doing a desert campaign? :cool2:

[woa2]

I have just read an article in today's Daily Mail. According to them, it is going to be terrible weather this month and one of the 5 wettest summers on record (but they didn't say how far the records went back).

I think I shall pack Wellingtons and carry Umbrellas in the Rifle clips.

[Snapper]

I'm hoping things get better after last year's monsoon. I'm taking my ordinary car to carry full kit and ..also because I am minus an MV. zzzz.

I'm there on Thursday, so I'll try and have a nose round then.....The only good thing about the mud is it controls the dust. But if the rainfall makes the Medway rise again, then camping near it should be amusing. Prepare for anything.....

[Enigma]

If you see a white Renault Express (UN markings) stuck in the mud, please help....It's me and my brother.

 

[chambers101]

If we see you we'll give you a hand.

[Richard Farrant]

Was down there today, met Mark with his WLF, Sean and Lee. America Field is firm, but not good around the entrance to the field and up by the shower block and bridge, needs a few loads of hardcore dropped in.

 

As a local, I find in this part of the country, it does not always follow the pattern of the forecasts, especially when coming up from the SW, so I am being positive........but still taking umbrella, w/proof and wellies though :-D

Do you know what a B888er Camels are to handle?:-D

[snowtracdave]

I heard they always have the ump.......

 

 

 

Ay thang ewe.

[LeeEnfield]

Trust me it is bloody muddy down there, but what a hoot in 4 wheel drive.

 

 

So its going to be FUN in two wheel drive, then..........:whistle:

[Degsy]

Which variety are you expert with.

[Tony B]

Tried sitting on one once. I'll stick to horses. At least you have a flat area to put the saddle on.

[ArtistsRifles]

Dropped the OT off last night - now parked up beside Lee in the Amerca's field. F-250 was going sideways at one point in the mud but the OT was great fun!!!! :-D :-D

 

Right now the ground there is like the proverbial curates egg - good in places..... :shocked:
