Checking on here http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ ... ather.html (http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/uk_forecast_weather.html) it's showing the sun looking round a white cloud for Saturday. Looks OK if not wall to wall sunshine.
You might get some rain if you're coming down Friday.
Sunday IS showing wall to wall sunshine.

Nope, but you've got to be an optimist otherwise you'll never go out.

Only two fords that we go through. The others are there if you're really keen.

Breakfast is up to you. I'm bringing a stove and some bacon + bread for sarnies. No, the pub is not opening  for breakie.
Hope you get this in time.

Hi all, a quick look at the weather & it seems quite promising

Either way, i'm looking forward to it! See some of you tomorrow, see the rest of you Saturday :P

[BruKen]

What time are you planning on beginning Saturdays rideout? Looks like a goodun, but its a 5 hour ride down for me to get there. Maybe if I leave at sparrow fart I might make it down in time.

I would think about 10 same as last year.(correct me if I,m wrong). I,m all packed and setting off in a couple of hours for nearly 300 miles of riding so about the same journey time as you.

[blacktiger]

I was thinking of 10am to leave as there's a lot of attractions to see on the route. e.g. Avebury stones & Stone Henge + others.
I think we'll spend 15~20 minutes at each stop so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding us if you have the route.

[NeilD]

have fun everyone.. hope the weather holds for you ... and the 17 year old girl guides turn up..  :D

[BruKen]

Bloody hell. Summer holiday traffic !! I'm on route but its taken 3 hours to travel one :( keep this up and it'll take another 10 hours till eta

[blacktiger]

Well, 20+ Tiger riders turned up and all said they enjoyed the weekend (lying bastards :roll:).
Sorry to those that turned up late and missed the ride. Hope you enjoyed the pub talk anyway.
As I was leading the rides I didn't see all the antics going on behind. So can someone else do a ride report?
Fording videos will be on YouTube soon along with photos to view.
Here's to next year where Jason's in charge.

I think we should really point out the lack of 1050's in attendance.  Not a single one!
