Your grand daughter won't appreciate you being there, you can always photoshop yourself into the photos later and no one will remember in a few years.

However, I'm waiting for my insurance certificate so I can tax the BMW seeing as I sold the TT. I could bring the campervan........ :whistle:

Don't forget that you don't need a certificate to tax a vehicle if you do it online as it checks the MID directly

The insurance is valid but i reckoned the insurance docs would turn up before the tax disc. If not I'll do it online and ride it. Daft old law having to display a bit of paper !

All looking good so far and I will make my way down Thursday evening (If all goes to plan) to be there to meet and greet – perhaps direct the odd few in – as well as sort out what field we are using and where the fire will be placed.

Weather from the Met Office is saying.

Friday Day B) - Wind = 2mph. Temp = +4 and Conditions = Sunny

Friday Night B) - Wind = 4mph (Unless you are near Jim’s tent, where you may have gusting winds of up to 80mph!). Temp = -1 (pack the woolly socks!). Conditions = Mist.

Saturday Day – Wind = 10mph. Temp = +7 and Conditions = Sunny Intervals.

Saturday Night – Wind 14 mph with 23mph gusts (make sure the guide ropes are down). Temp = +3. Conditions = Medium Cloud.

Sunday Day – Wind 17 mph with 26mph gusts!

This is just a vague guide for the National Park area and can be out by as much as – well, all of it! B) Pack the sunscreen and flipflops.

See you all on Friday

James, any news on the ablutions yet and what facilities will be available?

Cheers

I'm told there are showers and a bog block mate - but that it was under construction to a degree. I always take my own bog roll anyway

There will be something there and one of the reasons that I am going down on Thursday to physically see what is on and make options for people

It all works out in the end dude - fear not B)

Slight change of plans - I will be heading down from Liverpool early hours of Friday - about 5 or 6am. Family things to sort out today

Cheers dude.

Just wanted to know if there was a shower or not so I know whether to bring my running kit down or not for Saturday post ride/pre pub run.
