Looking forward to this guys. It will be great to meet up with you all. I'm still trying to get the passenger to confirm which day it will be

I wont be camping though so will need to know what time you plan on moving off from the camp site in the mornings...

Drift the memory maps didnt load..... a message to say they need to be uncompressed but my software says they are already!! Funny though I got some of the route texts OK Im not too bothered as the campsite will be ok to find and I can use paper maps if required....and play follow..

[Drift]

We will be leaving the site about 0930.

I've removed Sandy as he's not sure the 90 will be ready in time (needs the off-side out-rigger welding apparently), so thought he'd relinquish his space to someone who could use it.

Lawrence

[Drift]

Will he be passenger ?

Ok folks we have space

[jeffsinclair]

bugger, bugger, bugger. cant find anywhere to buy strops from, anyone got any ideas? might see if i can borrow one from work, but i think they are only two tonne. should hopefully get to the camp site around five ish on the friday. how close is the pub, not that i have a problem but after that drive i'll need a pint.

[cheekychick]

jeff- I'm sure someone will advise you about the straps soon enough, but more importantly, the pub is about 10 mins walk, left out of the camp site, pub is on the right, can't miss it, has old post office carriage opposite in the car park It's called the tyn-y-coed

[Drift]

Pubs a 10 minute walk
