I know we are still 25 days away, but it is now that time where weather reports, as sketchy as they may be, are starting to become available... i have franticly been searching met check, bbc weather ect ect but all i can find is rain coming of the Atlantic and a wetter that normal June:( has anyone else seen anything that's a bit more optimistic?

Maybe not so much more optimistic, but this one will update every 6 hours looking 16 days ahead:

BBC has their month ahead guesses - http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/10209?state=mp:B

For the beginning of June: "Model output points to average temperatures in eastern Scotland and above average elsewhere.It also suggests rain above average in northeast and southwest England. Sunshine is forecast to be above average in the north and east of Scotland, and average elsewhere."

Which does sound promising...

The weather isn't that important - how I see it.

Cold, Muddy, Rainy - Drink more for warmth - slide around in the mud for fun - easier to keep your beers chilled.

but... despite this - I'll still be hoping for dry and warm lol

[rocknessmonster]

Aye but your an alky lanapops!

[rexclark]

I demand sunshine!

[weesteve]

Dont mind the cold till the comedown hits!

[smutchie]

Last years weather was dreadful...I get that the weather doesn't bother some people, but it had a huge effect on my weekend! As long as there is no rain I'll be happy

[lanapops]

[rocknessmonster]

You obviousley have prior information regarding my conduct, however as we used to say in school........takes one to know one!

[lanapops]

Pah! I think you'll find that you made me the wreckhead I am today lol.

As our efest profiles clearly state - Im a newbie and your an advanced member! Says it all.

[rocknessmonster]

But by god your a fast learner!

[lanapops]

Too true!!

Last year was the exception it is usually always a nice sunny weekend. but 2010 as a whole was a pretty pathetic year weather wise and if Easter weekend is anything to go by, then this year is already looking up.

[rocknessmonster]

It's always sunny at rockness regardless of the weather. Looking forward to seeing you xx

[lanapops]

haha I love your view of life honey!!

Can't wait to see you too! Bring on the best weekend of the year!!

[rocknessmonster]

Yet again your spot on! Incidentally managed to convince Dave to come too today. Whoop whoop!

[lanapops]

Get in!!

Don't think he will want my hat this year - it is a bit flowery lol

Is that who you need the ticket for?

[rocknessmonster]

Yea but think I'm sorted now, camp with us ya nutter!

[lanapops]

Aren't you caravaning it this year though?

[rocknessmonster]

I'm in my tent next to the van, same as last year. The van is purely social!

[lanapops]

Soundo! Least I won't have far to walk to come find ya haha

[rachbon]

the weather has never been really bad at rockness, just hasn't always been good.

i think last year was probably the worst. if i remember right i think it pished down for ages one day, maybe the sunday?

i'd love it if we had weather like 07 again, but i'd be quite happy if it just stayed dry.
