Right you bunch of Moaning Minnies......

Point #1 - I cannot be worse than last year was, and while a bit damp (ok so some people discovered that their tent happened to include an en-suite swimming pool), no-one died and EVERYBODY had a good time.

Point #2 - The Forecast says that there is only a 60% chance ANYWAY - so a good chance of it NOT raining at all

Point #3 - Even if it does rain, while it says that it may be wet tomorrow evening, all the rain on sat is due to fall before 9am - ie while we are all asleep in our tents, daytime Saturday is forecast to be dry all day, and if its a bit cool and cloudy, well thats better riding conditions than clear skies and strong sunlight.

Point #4 - I have been camping in rain or shine, even hail and snow on some occasions. It all about ATTITUDE, if it does rain, see point 1 above - the .org spirit made it a great weekend.

So, I dont want to see anyone dropping out because of the weather.

Just get there, and have fun

Myself, my dad and Viper have been out this morning and have done a final reccie of the route, bright sunshine and toasty warm pretty much all the way round. Had a small shower 30 minutes or so ago and now the suns out again.

Hey guys if it rains it rains so what!

I went to Spain last month and landed in torrential rain, the runway was a river. I thought it was highly amusing and was laffin, I figured good company and alcohol. The other girls where not impressed, but we had a wikkid time.

Have a mud fight and get in the pub, wish I could be there x

The trick is to get so drunk that you can't detect what the weather is doing
I have camped and hiked in all sorts, I am not fazed, its going to be ace!
