No matter what the forecast is – BRING WARM AND WATERPROOF CLOTHES as well as the slip slop slap stuff. For a guide forecast to Meredith’s weather click here. If the forecast shows the possibility of any rain at all, good quality raincoats, boots, jumpers and spare clothes will all be good essentials.
