OK folks T - 7
- suggest meet ChrisT and PaulW at Stafford South services 0915- but not stopping

what time Paul???? say 0845 so we have some time in hand - get a costas if we get there early too. Take it Dt will phone us when his eta is 15 mins away or someat so we can do a rolling meet ala Dony.

incidentally, photos of tarka trail on tarka trail thread!

0845 sounds good. We'll be ready for a coffee break after 2 hours non-stop on the road.

I'm sure DaisyT or DaisyEds will give us a call as they approach



Photos look good Chris....mine are still on the works pc

Cannot phone when driving mate!!!!!!! but mines a latte with a straw.

So Dave, I take it then you'll be stopping at the Stafford services, your previous post suggested you weren't. Easy either way You'd probably do with a break by then i guess.

Hi Chris- just a comfort stop as we need to be getting further north.

Will check all routes before I leave and ferry web site.

Stuart (Islandbloke) and Glyn Harper from the "enemy" are hoping to join up with us over the weekend!

[DaveT]

That would be Sgt "the good egg" Glyn Harper then?

All the forecasts I've looked at are saying heavy rain on Saturday with strong winds over the whole of the weekend!

Perfect weather for sailing across the Irish Ocean and trundling around an island in a convertable

I hope you're right Dave

[Dave Eds]

At least the pollution level is low!

They're obviously not aware that Collapso is on the island.

lets see if we can change that situation

Don't let the weather worry you, we're going to have a good time!

[paulwatkins]

Think I'm going to have to take the hard top!

[DaveT]

OK looks like Sat may be a bit wet and windy.
Fri forecast looks OK so we should get there without too many problems.
Sat looks like the the wind and rain may pass through fairly rapidly so we should get a window there.
Sunday looks very good so we should be OK for the TT course before breaky, and the rest of the day to saunter about like tourists.
Monday back into the Pool should be OK and some action on the way home!!!!!

Have a good one this weekend boys... no injuries to cars or cargo please!

[DaveT]

Thanx Ailwyn. We'll be careful.

Thanks A, if the weather forecast is as it says at the mo, the only injuries will be from falling over in the bar

I'm thinking I may take my pedal bike as well.

I'll get less wet on that, and still be able to go faster on track than DaisyT

[DaveT]

I'm thinking I may take my pedalo.

I'll get less wet on that

You may need one of them!!
