Hi ive the same problem but coming out 10 days later. Maggie has told me it will be cold so bring a hot water bottle!!! So picture me last night with the case on the bed deciding what to take, so right now ive got everything in there from shorts to a hot water bottle, bed socks, long pj's short pj's, jeans!!! the problem is whats cold to the people living in roda could be a lying at the pool day for us, considering weve had no summer here and im from scotland. Ive got a few days left to decide what im taking!!! any help would be appreciated!!!! thanks lynda 101

I have got more 'warm' outfits than I would usually take (just to be on the safe side), as we have never been this late before.
Lynda, will let you know how I got on when I get back.

Thanks for advice folks. Do you know if it is likely to be wet or just a tad nippy?

I think it might be a wee bit nippy at night, but you should invest in a mac in a pac just incase I always carry one just in case. Lynda101

I agree with Lynda, what they consider cold in Roda would probably be just right for the lasses in the toon to go out with their gownless evening straps on! lol
Just been down the town for a sarnie for lunch and its b***dy freezing here in Newcastle.
regards, Kath. regards, Kath

Hi Dave & Linda We are staying at The Roda Oasis. Six of us - I am a little baldy man, my wife and sister in law look very similar (to each other that is!), brother in law is thinning on top too. Daughter is 18 darkish hair and georgeous and her boyfriend is tall with short dark hair. We will look out for the t shirts and listen out for the accent. We are from Milton Keynes.

Hi,
I got back from Roda yesterday and the only thing i would recommened you take is an umberella!! The last 2 weeks have been unusually rainy. It rained nearly every other day, but was hot and sunny most afternoons, apart from one day when it poured down all day.
I wouldn't say it was cold, just a bit chilly in the evening, so a light jacket or jumper might be useful for the night time. Although some people were dressed like it was winter but i suppose it depends what you think is cold. My other half wore jeans a few times, but i didn't feel that cold.
Whatever the weather im sure you will all have a fantastic time
Tracy
