Essential top tips for rainy days on holiday

• Check the weather forecast before you leave. Obvious but often overlooked.
• Pack necessary waterproofs and wellies.
• Invest in some large plastic boxes. £6-10 Perfect for camping and all your food and utensils will remain dry whatever happens.
• Pack extra towels. They will come in handy, as the ones you have may not dry quick enough. Pack an old one for drying the inside of the tent floor should things get bad.
• Research the area before departure. Look on the campsite's page and find out what they talk about within walking distance and nearby.
• Look up local swimming pools if you have kids. Great way to spend half a day. A waterpark would be even better.
• Try a local Cinema.
• Play the Brown sign lottery. Visit the tourist attraction at the end of every 3rd Brown tourist sign. The Campingninja team have ended up at a Tank Museum, Brewery and Cotton Mill. All highly recommended!
• If National Trust houses are your thing then brilliant. If not, then jump on a local bus or train and explore a new town. Cream teas are a must and we guarantee you’ll have fun.
• Get to know your local pub obviously but they only open at 11am. Plan a circular walk between 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 country pubs. If you are going to get wet, who cares when you are aiming for a pub. Life needs a little direction.
• Take an extra ground sheet to help out under the tent or at the entrances of your tent.
• Hit the beach and go for a swim. Can't get any wetter than that.
• Try a new sport. Loads of places offer taster and beginner sessions for activities like surfing, kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing and sailing.
• Explore a local museum. Always interestingly quirky.
