My thinking is 4 tyres, should one burst its to be replaced for £85ish next day delivery, and AA truck home on the day of the puncture :lol: Ive got a normal 265/75/16 to act as a get out of jail spare :wink:
Its a weekend car now so no big rush :wink:

There are still 3 unconfirmed names on the attending list and only one (unconfirmed) on the reserve list, so if you can definitely make it and want to come along, put your name down, as you might be lucky :wink:

This weekend looks like it will be a corker, as our Phill (Sir Doris) has been working out 4 routes for the Saturday incorporating some lanes that we may have not done before.

On the Sunday, nothing to rough as to avoid any breakages, we will be doing the run that overlooks Barmouth and the Mawddach Estuary, (get yer camera's out on this one if the suns shinning) and hopefully some other lanes depending on peoples travelling home arrangements and time.

Thats a great lane, Ive done this about three times, the best time is in the evening, you need to time it as the sun goes down over the Irish Sea, its fantstic, I will dig some pictures out when I get home, its very very easy to drive but stunning to look at 8)

I think your the only one from EA however there are a few of us traveling up the M1 then M6 from the south
viewtopic.php?f=49&t=41604
Maybe we can try to meet up somewhere en-route like the Chorley Services on the M6. I would guess we'd be there around 12.00. I will certianly have my CB on, on channel 8 all the way there
