Well Brittany was a wash out - 1 sunny day out of 14. To be fair we had some sunshine every day, but the majority of the time was grey with plenty of rain.
Stiil I am now in the Lakes where it hasn't stopped raining for about 3 months so it looks like a 1-All draw to me
The weather has been disastrous all over Northern Europe this Summer (unless you are a duck).
I am constantly amazed by the stoical comments in our visitors book. Perhaps people expect rain in the Lakes and any sunshine is an added bonus.
We've certainly lost any "bounce" from the credit squeeze thanks to this b****y weather though.
UK domestic tourism .../and Weather!!!!
I suppose the thing is that you need alternative things to do isn't it.
To be fair we had a great time in France. We went surfing at Guidel and you don't need sun to surf. we visited some great places like Vannes and Nantes. You just need to get your head around it.
To be honest i get far more fed up if it rains in say Greece where everything is geared around the sunshine, than I do in places where there are plentiful alternative ways of spending time.
Still it IS alwasy nicer when the sun is shining.
It's funny but the people who get the best deals at our place are the one's who book in spring and autumn. The prices are lower, the weather is often blissful and the area is quiet.

I've already used that one a few times this yearjust say how do they think the Lakes got there in the first place
But that's true of the SW France too!!!!It's funny but the people who get the best deals at our place are the one's who book in spring and autumn. The prices are lower, the weather is often blissful and the area is quiet.
We had a holiday in the peak district in April this year - us and 4 French couples - we told them to expect rain and if it ddin't rain it would be a bonus - they still laugh about that now!
