deltamal Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 I think the only person planning to camp is Andy44Boz Like you, we're all looking at the weather and hoping for the best. I did camp there once through a bad weather weekend (2007 I think) and it was a pretty grim experience. I'm camping at the Devon Hotel - Matford!
Andy44Boz Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Hopefully krt you got my number now I'm optimistic it'll be dry! Nearly got blown away camping at the duchy Capri show, so due a better weekend!
duchy boy Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Such a shame bloody weather again, Saturday looks really bad (red warning), some of Duchy members are already there and its not cancelled at moment. I will be there Sunday if weather inproves and its still on.
Admin Vista Posted July 6, 2012 Author Admin Report Posted July 6, 2012 Well, with Heavy, possibly thundery showers forecast for this evening and heavy rain spreading into Cornwall and Devon later tonight. Then rain will progress east to all parts by morning, turning generally more showery forecast overnight and for Saturday a very wet start with some heavy downpours, possibly thundery. The rain becoming more showery and perhaps easing later. I think tomorrow is a write off for me. Andy, I hope you changed your mind about camping tonight
Mrs O/H/C Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Camped at Powderham a few years ago in the rain ..we sat it out on the Saturday in hope that Sunday would still be ok. Sat in a tent from 3pm right round to 8am Sunday morning..then they cancelled the show as the show field was a "health and safety" hazard
mk2 matt Posted July 7, 2012 Report Posted July 7, 2012 Put a glass in the garden last night to see how much rain we had overnight 70mm !! and its still raining
Admin Vista Posted July 7, 2012 Author Admin Report Posted July 7, 2012 I've just been looking at the list of car clubs attending, New for 2012: Gay Classic Car Club I didn't know you could get Gay classic cars
Baldrick Posted July 7, 2012 Report Posted July 7, 2012 Powderham has been closed for the public today they are hoping for it to be open on Sunday, I have just spoken to someone on the field and the lane into the show is quite waterlogged
Admin Vista Posted July 7, 2012 Author Admin Report Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks for the update, that saves me a drive from Cornwall this morning.
Mrs O/H/C Posted July 7, 2012 Report Posted July 7, 2012 According to F/B the few members of Duchy Capri Club that tried to camp ended up abandoning in the early hours due to excessive rain. The fields are water logged Scott.
danburger28 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Posted July 7, 2012 Ive had reports from the XROC that people are being towed out of the field!Very muddy!Ive got a pic, and it doesn't look good!
