The weather up this way was supposed to be heavy rain today, but it's turned out to be bright and sunny - 20 degrees! You can never really tell what it's going to be like..
Hope you all have a good run and enjoy yourselves! I'm not able to make it down due to wife-arranged family duties, but I'll drop Geordie a text as he could be free.
Cheers,
Matt

shame you cant pop out to play this year Matt, but if Gordie is out and about he is welcome to hook up with us for some bits of the ride

Yellow leader- has contacted been made with the camp site, suppose we had better not piss him off again?

[AMCQ46]

they are happy for us to just turn up…….. but we are not allowed to decide where to park with out his say so

weather report looks like
1) Friday we might just manage to dodge the showers most of the trip
2) Saturday we will start off in the dry with perhaps light showers but by the time we come back it will be heavy showers. then drying out through the night
3) Sunday looks wet all day for the run home

I know Chris is doubtful with the rain, but I am still 100% for the run what ever the weather

My main worry is setting off in the wet. If we get there and get caught out or on way home it's ok, but really dont like the idea of riding up in the wet, having all my stuff damp for the whole weekend.

I bought a 1 piece overall yesterday for 40 quid so will take that. Hopefully still on for this.

Metcheck looks far better- Friday night may be damp, i.e. outside the tents Ady...
Rest of the weekend looks braw.

I'm packed so I'll still be there.
