Oh I do not envey moving.. a task and a half, all the best with it and the unpacking.... we moved some 2 years ago, and most of our stuff is still in a 40ft container, and some stuff in it is from a move in 97 and the boxes are still sealed... lol.
I am sure you got a load of hands to help, but if you guys got short, then call and I could lend a hand.

Finally rolled my tent up after the pouring rain last weekend on the coast... nice and dry now and ready for whatever next weekend!!!!!

So what time do you Dunners types want to meet at Outram?

1pm seen too late?

I thought a stop at Clarkes Junction en route, then the Middlemarch pub for an hour then the rally site.

Whatchasay??

Sounds good to me will see what the other dayriders are doing... may be quite a few of us so may have to split the group up a bit but all up in the air will do some ringing around and see who's coming for daytrip etc and who's not

The long range forecast at the moment has a polar blast coming through on Thurs with strong cold SthWesterlies and snow to fairly low levels. Showers clearing on Friday. This should mean it will be relatively fine on Saturday, maybe still a bit windy but be prepared for it to be farking cold up at Middlemarch - so if you were dithering about putting on those hotgrips or buying some thermals just get it done 'cos you'll need them.

Yup, got me woolly Y-fronts sorted!

Bur seriously, even when it's fine up in Middlemarch the temperature can be 'brisk' to say the least.

Seen a wet truck-deck being used as a stage ice-up on front of my eyes at one rally there.

Hell I better dredge the draws for those therm's then ....
