Between the weather and wives it really didn't go the way I hoped.
We survived the night in the van fine however awnings/tents not so lucky. This morning the wives and children were not a happy bunch sat in the wind and rain and wanted to call it a day. I had every intention of coming and saying goodbye but between trying to find a bin to dispose of my poor tent (rip we had many adventures together :sob:) then get the girls to the showers to warm up and talking to reception I got totally sidetracked. Shell have credited us another night to be used at a later date so will look another date when it's poss alot nicer and poss leave the women (no offence to the ones that weren't giving me grief) behind to try again. Anyone local this way then we are looking at a date in Whitby in June and I will be looking at shell again. If you pm me your addresses then once I've got the commemorative stickers run off I shall forward you all your badges of honour to show my appreciation that you all came out to brave storm hannah. Once again many thanks for making the effort and I sincerely apologise that my effort wasn't matched by yours. Hope to catch you all soon
 
It was good to meet you guys all the same. We'd be up for Shell again, definitely when a storm isn't coming through :p
 
A real shame about the weather, lets hope the next trip brings the sunshine out.

I've nearly got all my camping gear sorted, so will try to make the next one depending on dates :)

A real shame the weather let you all down. I was looking at the forecast and thinking how bad it could get, I was on Angelsea a couple of years ago and it was bad enough at 60mph winds and rain, last night there were gust of over 75 mph around North Wales. Today I drove to Towyn along the coast road and it was horrendous so full marks to you all for touching it out. Well done all.

The weather was terrible n scary, but still nice to see/meet some others. We are still there, it’s calmed down a lot, went riding round, found a little shelter bit, inland away from the sea front
