God i'm slow on the uptake lol.... OK i'm taking my car subject to kids being well as we have had a bit of a bug but all should be ok by Sunday (fingers crossed) so i have a couple of spare seats in vehicle if anyone needs a lift you just have to put up with being stared at and poked by Miss 3 if she takes a fancy to ya lol ( yep she takes after me )!!!! so count me in thus far...... but will keep you updated if it turns to custard

And Mrs V aka Mutley you wee closet dweller that was very quiet well done girl i'll teach you all i know about hitting the asphalt ( my speciality ) some do wheelies and skiddies but i like to be one with the road

Just happened to spy a wild pig across the boundary fence if you just happen to have some armed offenders type weaponry that needs a bit of testing????!!! (accurate at about 200m would be good)

WTF has that got to do with this thread D????? - what do you intend to get? I got mine at Rebel sports at a half price clearance - it wasn't half price the day I was there but I asked and what do you know..... yes they could do it for that that day. Makes you wonder what the margins are on these things.

Late afternoon today I went down with my boys to cut a track down through the jungle to the railway tunnel - weapon of choice for them?? - 2 machetes, why didn't that surprise me - plus me with a chainsaw and a long handle slasher and we now have a trail to the tunnel.
Would be a good idea to bring tramping type boots or sturdy walking shoes, and probably don't wear your best cream coloured casuals!!!! - just in case. Its not too bad but there is a small chance you could slip and land on your ......
Weather should be good tomorrow - great for those riding up.
If anyone gets this in time please bring a nutcracker - I want to crack a decent pile of hazels to do on the BBQ and I've only got the one cracker (unless we go to the 2 rocks method!!)
See ya'll tomorrow
