we are at Tredegar house this week , and like everyone had a lot of wind and rain , 

site has held out brilliantly , no problem at all with the rain , the Tredegar country house grounds though have suffered flooding in some areas , is anyone touring who has been caught out with this awful weather and have gone home early ?

Great that Tredegar is holding out RT, and that you are OK.  The ground is very wet here at Harbury Fields.  If you keep off the grass it's OK - I'm taking great car so that the car keeps on the road and hardstanding.

Yorkshire is a tad damp at the moment, you pick your routes with care. We had a lovely few days at YRPark in January, but it’s well under water (again) at the moment. Currently monitoring the Ilkley, Otley, Skipton, Dales area as we have a cottage holiday booked next month. Cottage should be all right, but we might need ferry tickets for part of the route😱

Seriously though, it’s dreadful seeing what some folks are enduring. Our area was flooded before Christmas, but with a few exceptions, we seem to have got away light at the moment.

just back from a long weekend in a place called Low Hutton (sisters place) travelled home to Stubbington yesterday, so glad i had not taken the caravan, very wet and windy for parts of the journey, did see some brave souls towing, some looked to be doing not more than 40mph (sensible), River Ouse did not look good and local news said that York council were taking additional measures to try to ensure city centre was not flooded again. Not for me, caravan parked up firmly at home, more rain and gales forecast.

That’s some picture DK. We walked in the park every day when we were there early January. You had to stay on the hard paths then because there were flood pools on the grass and it was extremely boggy. I wonder how the new hotel is faring. They were just finishing off the landscaping during our visit☹️

I am wondering if Tewkesbury site is flooded. I can’t recall if it opens all year, so that might be why there’s no warning on the webpage at the moment. Flood report for area indicates Gander Lane is flooded, so who knows🤷‍♂️

We're keeping a close eye on that area Ttda as we're headed for a cottage on Saturday for a week, near Otley and intend(ed) to call off in Skipton en route for a bite to eat, plus Mrs WN wants to call in at the Art Shop there.smile If you do hear any local news then please post will you. Thanks. (Or ask NTH for our email address).

Will do WN. It’s showing all clear now, the water has moved down into Ouse, but there were issues at the weekend. The Wharfe runs alongside the main road around Otley, Ilkley, so does flood. This is website I use, updated regularly. Hope you have a nice time😁

its a rather nice day here now, fingers crossed everyone gets some respite.
