Well I was plannin on taking Moho to Scarborough this weekend for nice family chill out & walk on sea front all wrapped up.
But alas the weather has scuppered Scarborough unless I fancied wearing a wetsuit and now have to travel Sunday night to fly out of country for meeting on Monday.

Why is it best laid plans go to pot. :cry:

Anyway what you Funsters up to this weekend?

You would have been lucky to find a parking place for a Motorhome in Scarborough.;)

Yeah I heard that the sea had come over the wall on South Bay into shops & amusement areas. I would have wild camped at Sealife centre. But tbh would have been part of the sea if I had now.

Last year I stopped in place called Flowers of May with family as got great amenities for them, but just down the road from it was great area for wild camping and few were there just doing that all time I was there. Was little cafe close by & sea view on door step.

What flooding ?
Usually Peasholm lake overflows its banks near the north bay roundabout causing problems...exasperated by the council's insistence on closing the road when the flood level is more than a puddle.
The amount of rain and sleet we had today wouldn't cause that.
When the sea state is serious enough to cause waves over-topping the marine drive dangerously they close the marine drive completely at the peasholm roundabout and the toll house at the harbour end.
As I said, the small amount of rain and sleet last night and today was miniscule.
According to the met office we were in for heavy snow today......still waiting for it !

South bay is flooded by unusually high tides, not rain and has nothing to do with marine drive which is only affected by over-topping.
Marine drive has excellent drainage since the sea defenses were built a few years ago....about the only thing they did get right.
