Anyone mad enough to wild camp New Years eve?

I see the weather is now changing from VERY mild to VERY wet & windy - especially on the west coast. We were going to Aldeburgh to see in the New Year but a change in circumstances may mean we'll be at home - Good luck to those brave or mad enough!
 
We're off to western isles, scotland, for a week.

Should be interesting:D
 
Camping in Western Isles

May not be a good choice...sitting here on Skye at 8.05pm....in a warm office...wirh a howling gale outside. And this is supposed to be the best day of the week
 
We have been. before in high winds/storms.
Van rocked like a boat, looked like a fire hose had been pointed at the windows due to the rain. Very wild. At 2am drove and parked in Portree behind a high building for shelter. In the morning, surrounding area looked trashed by the storm.

Very exciting night though.

I often think it's those kind of memories you remember most fondly......
 
High winds in Cornwall

I usually run my MH once a week up the cliff road to moves its parts when I am not on the road. It began last night and the forecast is a very windy and wet weekend. Living only 200metres from the ocean the winds are one hell of a problem for high vehicles. I have witnessed a couple of vans blown over, over the years. Will skip taking a run this weekend.
 
where in aldeburgh

This is our favourite place and go there at least twice a year (more next year as have the clampett mobile) - we always stay at church farm -(have baby and dogs so the comfort is a necessity) wondering where you would go for new year? I know you can park up near the martello tower

Mrs Meeke,
We were going to stay up by the tower until things changed, now hope to go end Jan - early Feb. When we went over that way for a long weekend we also used Church Fm for shower, water and loo empty - very nice people.
Perhaps we'll see you there sometime - Happy New Year!
 
We wild camped thru Christmas and new year, windows and door open for ventilation, ......... but we were experiencing temps around 28 degrees C in Spains indian summer.

Should still be there, but alas, Mrs Voxy's ill health forced our return to grey skies and woolie undies !!!

Did New Years Eve in Yorkshire Dales very windy and some hailstones, but it was fun!
 
We did new years eve wild camping on Calgary Beach on Mull. Very windy, but not too bad with stabalisers down.:D
 
New Year

:p Did go into the Peak District (bit kinder, weather wise), afraid to admit as well did stay on a small CL, but we really enjoyed our Barbeque on new years eve, watching the local (over Buxton) firework display. Our next expedition is in a couple of weeks:) now, over to the lovely isle of MULL for the first full week of wild camping, heres hoping for good weather, but i'm sure it will still be totally enjoyable!
