Is it just me or has this been the worse camping year for ages?

YES - we have had a run of camps with nothing but rain....

OK as we are measuring wet camps

Jan Eurodisney - Rain (we were in a hotel but got wet walking around)
Feb winter night hike - snow
Feb County freezer camp - mist, lunar eclipse, and rain
Mar Practice hike - rain
May Cent Camp - LOTS of rain
June Silver DofE training weekend - floods
August Summer Camp - worse august rainfall in Sussex since records began
Sept 2 day expedition - Sun followed by rain
Sept Back to Basics - Rain
Oct 3 day expedition - sub zero, mist and rain

Life just hates me :-(
