skinzo Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 This is from the BBC weather site "The high pressure is making itself comfortable through the second week of June. This will bring drier than average weather for all but the far north, where it will also tend to be cloudier and cooler at times. Warm and sunny weather is looking likely elsewhere" Not the worst forecast, but as previous posts state we'll just need to wait till Wed/Thur for a more accurate forecast. Anyway, I'll be too having too good a time to care if it rains http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/16?&search=inverness&itemsPerPage=10®ion=world# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyelo Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 It's far too early to get an accurate report...I'm hoping anyways as everywhere I look it is raining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msr Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 This. Putting up a tent in wind and rain is pretty grim but after that I'm not too fussed, obviously sun is preferable but the weather doesn't make or break a fest for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleski Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Invest in a popup tent and you'll have no problems whatever the weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angusiswan Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Yeah, the thing about them is that they're easy to put up, but every year, you always see people struggling to get them packed away. Not for me. Arsed doing that on a hungover Monday morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msr Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 They take about 30 seconds to fold down when you know how to do it! I think they're perfect for festivals. Ours kept the rain out last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Warriors Dance_ Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Pop up tents are a farce. I guess they're fine for festivals if it doesn't rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poleski Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've used a pop up tent every year at Rockness pretty much. If your going to buy one stay away from the daft ones like - cow/leopard/camo print. I had the camo one and it's s**t. Leaks bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali1874 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 forecast Hoping it's still too early to tell, looks like it's going to be pretty cold as well as rainy. The festivals going to be amazing no matter what the weather but a bit of sun does help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Warriors Dance_ Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 You can get some really good pop up tents that cost £100+ so calm the beans guys. But yeah the "fun" looking ones that I mentioned earlier are sh*t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poleski Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 how ??? its the truth, if you get a good quality pop up tent that has a fly sheet you can pin up it will be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedboy79 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 That defeats the purpose of getting the pop up tent haha! Nice tactic though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rexclark Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 The Quechua pop-up tents do a superb job of keeping the elements out. I had to endure almost Hurricane conditions with lots of rain on the final night of Wizard last year and my tent was not damaged unlike a lot of the other tents there.
