SNOW AT EASTER, downpours in summer, brilliant sunshine in the depths of winter. No wonder we have a reputation for being obsessed with the weather – especially those of us who love to spend as much time as possible touring and adventuring in the great outdoors.
I regularly find myself peering out of the van windows and wondering if I need an umbrella, or another jumper. Such was my dilemma in Cambridgeshire as January turned into February.
Searching for a midwinter weekend destination, I came across The Willows campsite in Brampton, perfectly located on the River Great Ouse and within easy walking distance of local towns (not to mention the gastropub next door).
At this time of year they were, very sensibly, accommodating touring guests on the gravel roads rather than grass pitches. So here I was, peeking out of the window trying to guess what the weather might have in store for us.
