Staycation - Back of Beyond

When we planned this trip we didn't expect the weather to turn so cold. 

With global warming being on everyone's minds (possibly not) and predictions from the early part of this new century that southern England would have a Mediterranean climate by now, we booked our first Staycation for 2023.

We chose Back of Beyond Camping and Glamping because we had been before, last May, and it was a good site. A safe pair of hands to use a footballing phrase. What we weren't expecting was the tales pf doom and despair and that we might get snow! We have the choice of cancelling it, and losing £60.  BoB aren't that good at letting you choose another date. 

At the moment we have the van part packed.  I filled up the LPG for the heating and cooking last week. We only have the perishable food to load into the cupboards and stuff for the dog. I guess we'll have to make a decision in the morning whether we are going or not?  If it's not snowing I reckon we go. We can always abort the mission!

There's no glory in getting stuck in snow. We don't have snow tyres and so we would be going nowhere. I'd rather be here in the warmish rather than stuck in snow somewhere! Perhaps that a discussion Claire and I need to have!

The Ohrex upgrade that kept failing on the older Dell worked first time on the newer Dell. The 6.8gb zip file downloaded at the first attempt rather than 15 hours of failing! It's installed and I have had to setup all the "favourites" again. There must be a file you can save that contains them. Where it is I have no idea!

So do we stay or do we go.....?
