Need extra beer then ...

Yes weather forecast has deteriorated - so much for five day forecasts.

There is an Indian restaurant at the entrance, or bring your own.

What! bring your own Indian restaurant.
Sounds like a Victor Kiam quote, 'I liked the curry so much, I bought the restaurant'  :lol:

So are you going to be there to try out the curry Tony? I am sure they do lamb dishes. Or is that dishy lambs :baa:

The forecast is now looking dodgy. Rain forecast Saturday and overnight  :!

Looks like Friday night might still be clear though...

Well that is up to each individual. I don't personally like all the hassle of travelling and packing, etc. when the weather is crap and I could be doing something else. Plus there is nothing worse than packing away a tent in the rain.

But, if people are still willing to go down then so be it. As Jon says, the forecast for Friday night might be OK (although it doesn't look like it will be particularly clear).

It's only Tuesday.  I think it's too early to make a call on the weather. But Friday night is beginning to look quite hopeful.

JonH

I quite agree, I normally don't take much notice of any forecast beyond 48hours and even then they often get it wrong!

The forecasts are changing by the hour. Metoeblue now says it will be a bit damp Saturday but both nights will be OK if not completely clear. You never can predict these things exactly, unless Fay can be convinced to come along and pack up early of course.
