As we sat in our cozy living room all weekend, me under my electric blanket, binge watching Futurama over the absolute racket of it pissing down against the roof of the conservatory, I thought of you and yours and your ill-fated camping trip. Hope you managed to have a bit of a nice time regardless.
Honestly, it wasn't too bad. I had a new super comfy sleeping mat so I popped in the earplugs and slept right through. It was only the nights and the last day that were especially rainy, and the campsite had a bothy so I ran over there on the last morning with the Aeropress and made some fresh coffee out of the rain. The main issue was the soggy tent, which is dry now. I just don't know if I can face a second trip if it's going to be raining the whole time, especially if I need to pitch the tent in the rain. Luckily this time the campsite is less than an hour away, so we can wait until the last minute to make a decision
