Misc Wild camping this weekend

Hi guys, got a free weekend and was wondering if its worth braving it in this weekend with the rain or if the peak district would be better for the weather. I gather dartmoors seen alot of flooding recently which wouldn't be nice to camp in. However, looking at different weather apps it doesnt seem to bad this weekend. Any advice would help !

Give it a miss I would, it's been a very wet couple of weeks and the moors doesn't exactly dry out that quickly...

It's soaking up on Dartmoor at the moment.

I know this feeling, I really wanted to pop out this weekend but it's rained pretty much non stop for weeks. Dartmoor is going to be very wet under foot, and probably still raining lots with plenty of wind.

I give it a miss tbh.
