English rain, holiday weekend...

Surfing weekend in Woolacoombe in Devon (SW UK), 2 gorgeous days with a little wind, one horrid day of rain. This was the first weekend I used it, and it's already been christened 'The Hotel'. When the rain started lashing down, all the gear in the open was thrown in, putting the 24 internal pockets to use. Pretty much all the cooking for the weekend was done in the porch, good size for comfortable cookery. The rain did get through some of the stitching and drip in, but a bit of seam sealant and a few mins. of effort should make this the Hotel of choice!
