What would you take...

Plenty of shops in Bath, from the usual High Street stuff (a huge M&S and Primark plus classier/independent shops too and all close together as well as close to the Baths if you go there). Not many at Cheddar and if you go up the hill it could be windy/chilly. Years since I went to Weston, not an endearing place if I recall. Plus the Holiday camp will sell basic stuff. Enjoy!

This camp is a mile or two from Weston-super-Mare town centre, but there is a bus that runs between those points. Your OAP bus pass means you can use these for free. So, if you need anything get that bus and pop down to the town centre. Inside the small arcade - Sovereign Centre is both Roman and Bon Marche, plus others, for you to purchase any other clothes you may need. Wednesday is Market Day and several nice, clothes stall are there each week.

A light rain mac would suffice. I'm sure the camp itself may provide umbrellas?

I've been to Butlins in Skeggy in terrible winter weather so I know how to get indoors as much as possible!

Yes, I usually look at the advance forecast (usually two weeks) and plan accordingly just before I go.

I only ever pack on the day anyway as I hate packing. It does sound as if there will be plenty of indoor activities anyway so I wouldn't plan too much for rain, as you can always stay indoors.

Whatever, I hope you have a lovely break.

From the accommodation to reach everything else, (dining hall, activities, entertainment) ALL requires walking to and from, outside in the open air with no shelter if it rains; and this is the west coast. Rainiest side of UK.

Do take a fold up umbrella that fits in a handbag.

For outings; A cagoul and collapsible umbrella; water bottle, cardigan, and a v. light backpack to carry them in. Wear comfy flat walking shoes and socks. XCWeather app on your phone, tuned to Weston Supermare.

Flip flops swimming cossie, beach towel. Pool is closed and they don't change the room towels.

Otherwise whatever you normally wear in summer, enough for one week. Casual, relaxed. comfy. Sunhat and sunglasses.

Don't expect much storage space for clothes.

Take your summer clothes along with a couple of long length carifans you would use say walking to evening evens. Also a jacket you would wear at home if raining. Enjoy your holiday, hope all goes well.

Kayta - you're a person after my own heart. I love having lots of clothes and shoes to choose from on holiday. I make my own clothes so usually have a different outfit/dress for each evening, and many "just in case" tops and trousers/skirts. It's all part of my holiday enjoyment. I'm going away at the end of August and am holding myself back from starting to pack! I'm busy making lots of sleeveless dresses as it's Spain (as if I haven't got lots already). I love clothes.

Wellies. The sea goes out miles and it is very muddy .

North Devon is warmer than the East or Midlands, but often wetter. You need a pac-a-mac and small sun cream in a bag, as the weather changes from morning to afternoon. Be aware that there is offshore breeze there, so it may be cooler than the sun suggests, so sun creme even if you think it is not so hot.

I love packing for summer holidays - an excuse to invent a fun little 'capsule' wardrobe. I also try not to overpack - having fewer clothes means dressing decisions are easier. It also means you have an excuse to buy a nice thing if you see something lovely in the local shops!

I would take

3 day tops - I like fun t-shirts

2 or 3 evening tops - at Pontins I bet people will still dress up a bit in the evenings, so I would aim for a bit of sparkle here and there.

A nice dress - the one I'm wearing at the moment is a red midi in a flowy linen jersey, really comfortable and can be dressed up or down.

A light cardigan in a neutral 'go with anything' colour, must be light and easy to carry.

A very light casual linen jacket - easy to carry and can be used for sun protection.

A long-sleeved breton top

Super-comfy trousers for the coach. Mine are joggers in a thin flowy viscose.

3 pairs linen trousers - these will do for day and evening.

A lightweight waterproof.

Two hats - a straw sunhat and a cap for windier times.

In July it is unlikely to be cold but if it is, you could be cosy in Breton, cardi and waterproof.

Walking Sandals

Trainers

Lightweight sparkly 'flip flops' that can double as slippers and evening shoes.

Have fun!

Have a look at the weather forecast for that area ……. really easy to locate on Google

July is full-on summer so take a lightweight mac. I went to the seaside in April, which you expect to be changeable but I was cold the whole time as the bitterly cold wind never stopped.

It’s almost like asking ‘ how long is a piece of string’! You might need wellies or a bikini, whatever you take I hope you have a great time, I have heard good things about coach holidays.

they?
then

Layers are the way to go.

And avoid too much white if you're like me.
I wore a new white top yesterday and managed to spill dinner then coffee down it.

When it comes to the weather forecast, they only become accurate - well, nearly - three days before.
If they! They have been very inaccurate over the weekend.

When it comes to the weather forecast, they only become accurate - well, nearly - three days before. Anything beyond that is a sort of educated guesswork. So don't do your packing before that! And then tees and trousers, a warm top and maybe a stole for round your shoulders on a cool evening, sandals and trainers (you can travel wearing them as they are bulky to pack) - and the ubiquitous rainwear of course! Have a lovely time.

I didn’t know that carpeted hotel floors were a health hazard. Will try to remember that but make day sandals double as slippers, which I hate. As I do those white towelling hotel mules.

I always find hotel rooms short on drawer space which affects my packing, and I esp dislike hotel coat hangers that come apart so I now pack my own.

I think the weather is going to be quite kind, take your summer clothes, but just pack a waterproof coat, and a cardigan, it maynr a bit chilly at night, and you might have a couple of showers, if your in an holiday camp, the weather isn't too much of a worry, plenty of things to do undercover

If it’s a coach trip, you won’t need to worry too much about weight. (But don’t go mad!)

I assume the coach drivers will see to the luggage, and possibly porterage where you stay.

I tend to take too much, but you can always bring it back unworn, not a problem.

I am going away in the UK for five days in August, I will pack for every conceivable weather event.

Including a lightweight foldable rain coat (Joules) umbrella, trainers, sandals, jeans, shorts, t-shirts, linen shirts and trousers, a couple of lightweight sweaters. If the forecast is good, I will add long linen dresses. Obviously undies and nightwear, including slippers (I am wary of hotel floors, and do not go barefoot if they are carpeted)

fancythat

^Keep an eye on the forecast just before you leave,^

That is what I do.

We haven’t been away for some time but I look at the weather forecast, most apps have a 7 or 10 day forecast, and I am a last minute packer anyway. The advice from Allsorts is good, I always take too much.

Yes, I usually look at the advance forecast (usually two weeks) and plan accordingly just before I go.

If you’re going along the seafront a hat that stays put, we’ve just been there, if it’s windy the sand blows up too, trousers required!
Trainers definitely, a lightweight waterproof and a jumper.

Watch the forecast and plan accordingly. Layers are the way to go. I’d say allsorts is about right. Depending on space I often take a ‘just in case’ top and spare trousers ‘just in case’ I empty a cuppa down my front. It’s been known . Don’t worry too much, there are shops wherever you go, you’ll find a whole range of clothing appear on others. Just enjoy your break.

Keep an eye on the forecast just before you leave,

That is what I do.
