Sandy on August 6th, 2008

It continued to rain all evening and all night. We woke up quite late (9 am) and it was still pouring. A couple of people thought they would leave the site, that was fun having to go out through a different exit and getting stuck, ploughing up the grass and mud more than it already was. We decided to stay and not try and get out, which would have been difficult and we would have never got back up on the chocks. In the end three people left and about six arrived.

One of our fuses went last night so we caught the bus to the outdoor shop and bought a supply and some hose for the waste water. It is now 5.50 pm and we have a little bit of sunshine peeping through, hopefully it will stay dry until tomorrow and we can go out and also get back in. The weather forecast for the next couple of days isn’t that good. We have decided to go to Holy Island on Friday as the weather sounds better than tomorrow. We shall see.
