I wouldn’t hold my breath, predicting weather beyond a couple of weeks is a bit of a stab in the dark.Fear not, warmer weather is on the way......

And getting the media to stop sensationising the headlines for weather which in 95% of cases is normal Sunny and Wet weather.
Me too. Off to Spain in a few weeks to look at some properties.

Quite. If you watch the met office youttube channel you'll see that the first week of this month the weather was bng on average for the time of year. The rainfall is a little above average now but not so much that it's news-worthy.

We are at camping at Gilwell with Scouts in a couple of weeks, hope the weather didn't ruin it for them.

Gilwell is about 5 miles from me! I don't think they got much sleep, nothing blew away but lots of extra ropes and pegs, her tent had a sewn in ground sheet so that would not have been able to take off when occupied, too heavy!

I had a habit of storm lashing my ridge tent when bad weather was forecast, a particularly bad night one spring at Barmouth saw one tent literally blown away while another only stayed due to the occupants spending the night holding onto it instead of sleeping
I was probably born to camp as my parents took me with them to a scout camp when I was 9 months old!
It's probably 6hrs for us, towing the trailer and toilet stops!.

My dad blagged a couple of hefty canvas RAF ridge tents back in the 70's, and we'd all go away and spend a week in them, joined end to end with a fly sheet making a central 'porch'.I had a habit of storm lashing my ridge tent when bad weather was forecast, a particularly bad night one spring at Barmouth saw one tent literally blown away while another only stayed due to the occupants spending the night holding onto it instead of sleeping

Years went by, I inherited one, and used it a lot myself. Camping in Weymouth one summer there was gale force coastal winds, and I spent the night awake in fear of the tent blowing away, or my bike blowing over onto the tent
Next morning I started packing up, still gale force winds, and even with all the pegs out and the guy lines disconnected the tent sat perfectly still, never moved, hardly fluttered in the wind. Not sure if it was the weight, or the design, but it was pretty impressive.

Maybe get spray foam applied on the roof underside (rip out ceiling first) when you get back ?
Put in a nice new ceiling when done, maybe even some thick carpet, will help the noise even more.
