Have a good weekend all, am gutted I can't make it!

Stay safe and have a swally for me!

[Paul the 6th]

Ahh crap. It's raining super bad in north & west Yorkshire, the roads are flooding & visibility is terrible.

To top it all off I don't know which CD's to bring in the van. Super gay. Super dry :D

[HoL]

PT6 feel free to swing several hundred miles out your way & pick me up :)

[fenjer]

Seriously considering bringing the car now, sydney deposited a whole load of oil on the ground and back tyre yesterday, not a good combination on wet slimy roads.

[The Guru]

If you take the car and its chucking it down tonight I bags your back seat!

[Bluefish]

Going to bail on this, the mrs is not impressed, and don't want to go riding camping in these conditions, so have a good time y'all, and be carefull out there, andy.

[Blue Flame]

It was raining here but it has dried up again. Forecast is still for the weather to be dry during the daytime today

[Paul the 6th]

Heard on radio 1 news beat the environment agency reckon a months worth of rain could fall in the next 24 hours, so hopefully the weather system will have run out of steam by tomorrow

[Paul the 6th]

As for the ensuing flooding.......

[appollo1]

beautiful sunshine on the East Coast at the moment which will lead me into a false sense of what the journey down will be like. :(

waterproofs ready as i am sure they will be required at some point on the journey today.

stay safe and arrive safe for all who are still going.

[JamesMio]

Well, what was a VERY wet start this morning in Dumfries has now moved onto a cloudy, but dryer late-morning in Moffat.

It's looking promising kids...

[Bluefish]

not down here it's not, lashing it down

[SIII]

All reports for D&G are showing improvements. Sorry for you guys having to travel up here thru' the worst of it. As Mio said, was wet but is brightening up here.

[Bibio]

drying up in kirkcaldy with little cracks of blue showing. but i know its going to be pizzing down outside of kdy.

[Dave20046]

Afraid I'm going to bail, I was undecided enough with the weather warnings,having not checked my bike over properly after doing the brakes, the possible lack of a tent and time & money constraints...but I got a call this morning that's swung it. I need to be in sheffield tomorrow night, it's a bit life critical!

Sorry to let people down, bibio I need to pm you re. the chain adjuster - sorry about that.
Going to search the threads now so I can let people know about food arrangements
Paul - sorry but my hatchet, tuxedo and penis will be staying in yorkshire this weekend.

[Tiger 55]

Well I've just hung out two loads of washing, a sure fire guarantee of days of unbroken sunshine. No point clogging up my tailpack with waterproofs I wont need either. Yes, nothing can stop us now.

[Paul the 6th]

Righto, packing ablutions, clothes, helmet and phone charger then setting off.. Should be there between 4-5 pm depending on weather and traffic.

Signing out.

Ah, the old days, when what is now the B800 was the only route to the bridge from the south. In those days it was never empty.

[Bibio]

ahhh yes the A8000 and the tailbacks going back as far as the circle :-)

[andrewsmith]

Seeing a couple people asked about the straps I had on the bike, I've found who's selling them in the UK http://www.linkstrap.co.uk/
