The Road to Cornwall

First you’ve got to get there.“A 15 minute coffee break at a ‘roadside’ cafe on the road to Cornwall turns into a 1.5 hour traffic jam”Photograph: ID6565583/GuardianWitness

Bude

An image that will bring back memories of a million disappointing childhood holidays, with the melancholy refrain:“The view from our window. Never again.”Photograph: chocky/GuardianWitness

Queueing to summit Mount Snowdon

“Arrived on the summit of Snowdon to bad weather and crowds. A classic British holiday experience.”Note in particular the guy using a selfie stick.Photograph: Salapanda/GuardianWitness

Top class British beach perseverence on display here.“Trevone Beach - the only beach on which to be rained on!” Photograph: sazhewitt11/GuardianWitness

Wales

This picture has it all. Rain. Cold. Insipid tea. Disappointment.“My sister Milly on Bardsey Island enjoying a wet, cold cup of tea outside after walking around the island in the rain.”Photograph: Finn Price/GuardianWitness

West Sussex

“My parents love a bad holiday. We have just left them in their tiny hired caravan (free leaky awning thrown in) in a field in Angmering, West Sussex, in the pouring rain.“They have Scrabble, Uno and a built in car radio/cassette player to keep them busy for the week.”Photograph: ID1354113/GuardianWitness

Performing the ‘Descending Invisible Steps’ trick in the rain

“Driven to desperate entertainment measures by the incessant rain, John stands outside the caravan window to give a masterly demonstration of the Magic Invisible Steps.”I bet the hours are flying by.Photograph: Ann Baylis/GuardianWitness

You’re kidding, right?

“Our friend Andy was visiting from Minneapolis. After a boozy do on Saturday night, we thought the perfect way to blow off the cobwebs would be a trip to the beach at West Porlock, near Minehead, for a dip in the sea. It was 14C, windy, and raining, and apparently the term “beach” was misleading...”Photograph: ID964449/GuardianWitness

Happy valley

“We’re on a walk from John O’Groats to Lands End and this picture was taken in the pouring rain as we approached Fort William.”Will the cheerfulness last?Photograph: Carrie Lou/GuardianWitness

Cushendall

Windy Woolacombe

A tale of misplaced optimism here from goldenkippers.“It stopped raining at about 10am, so we decided to brave the beach rather than head to a farm with a soft play area. That was a mistake! It soon poured with rain and was very windy, making the beach a less attractive proposition even with waterproofs. This is why people go to Menorca.”Photograph: https://witness.theguardian.com/assignment/55b6038de4b0a4260de253c7/1638087goldenkippers/GuardianWitness

Lights in Aberaeron

“A typical mixed bag of Welsh weather last week. On Friday evening the outside courtyard of The Hive restaurant in Aberaeron was empty of customers due to the appalling weather. At least the lights were shining brightly.”Photograph: Peter Hunt/GuardianWitness

Morecambe Bay

Rain, disappointment and the worst fish and chips you’ve ever had.“The weather wasn’t promising when we set off and it got steadily worse. I’d been before as a kid and remembered that there was a small pleasure beach, so figured there would be something to do if the weather didn’t improve - turned out that it closed down in 1999.”Photograph: Chris Bojke/GuardianWitness

Barnsley

“Bought tickets months ago for this weekend at the Underneath the Stars festival camping. My kids were really looking forward to the fun fair.”Photograph: Alan Rammel/GuardianWitness
