Rosehip 24 May 9:17pm, 24 May 2025 35,506 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip also listening to the rain, can't see yesterday's hill walk today it's all claggy I too like the rain at night - but not all day. Just hoping the grass field doesn't get too soggy to drive off on Tuesday!
Eynsham Red 24 May 9:54pm, 24 May 2025 12,049 posts	Quote Pin Eynsham Red I don’t mind gentle rain at night when I’m in our van, but I have to put my head under a pillow when it rains hard to deaden the sound. (I also do the same when my wife has a snorey session).

forest plodder 25 May 8:45am, 25 May 2025 3,261 posts	Quote Pin forest plodder We sleep really well in our van too. We're back home too, and had such a fabulous time. We were so lucky with the weather, I got to see the tulips, ran a Z parkrun, and explored a part of France I didn't know, and that we both really loved. Like you @Mandymoo we can console ourselves with planning for September. I'm very pro-Europe, but wish they had a more uniform policy on clean air zones and road tolls! Or even a single place where all the requirements were listed. We're pretty confident about the French requirements, but plan to head north next time.
