Chimay planning



So is it *absolutely* necessary to camp out on the site if the weather
is truly horrendous? have alternatives been pushed around?

We had 3 consecutive thunder storms cross Leeds today. I haven't seen
anything like it, even at sea or in Florida. The cloud cover was down to
100ft and the thunder was ear splitting. I went out in full PVC
construction waterproofs and hard hat to experience it. Just like
standing under a waterfall. You couldn't see more than a few metres and
the flooding built up like a rip tide. All the traffic had to stop.
Nurses in white uniforms were running in various directions, skimpy NHS
uniforms see through within seconds ;o) All the roof gutters were
overwhelmed and cascades started to pour off the buildings. I ducked
back inside when the lightning turned from sheet to forks.

So given that it's not entirely unlikely it could follow one to
Chimay..... thoughts?
Well, I usually take an umbrella.


Nothing wrong with a bit of a downpour, biker boy.
