The last two Augusts have been rather poor - I know because I always
spend a week camping either in Swanage or on the Isle of Wight. We are
going next week to the Isle of Wight - a week earlier than usual.

I remember one storm, probably in 1990 or 1991 that caused half the
tents on the site to blow down overnight. (That was my first time!)
