Looks like Peter and Alan have a 340mile run to get there? :shock:

Anyone travelling further?

There was a good turnout at Killin a few years ago, and not bad at Pitlochry - perhaps it's time to go further than the borders?

Hi All,
Our route (minimum motorway) is only 290 miles according to Mapsource. Just hope the weather improves for Friday.

Doesnt look as though I Can make it after all guys and girls, Id overlooked the fact Im on Emergency Stand-by this weekend and no bugger will swap with me, I could take a chance and come but knowing my luck as soon as I get there Ill be called and that could be rather dodgy. Hope you all have a great time.

I think Andy and I will travel down from Wrexham along the A483 to Builth then down through the Beacons towards the Severn Bridge. If anyone wants to join us let me know :)

Not sure Dai, I reckon we'll leave Wrexham about 10 so google maps reckons we'll be on the A4042 junction with the M4 at around 3 to 3.5 hours after. So about 1 or 1:30 pm or so ... maybe :)

I have to be carefull with medication[opiate pain killers] if i leave later i may well not be right for the evening, i am hoping to arrive at about two so i can get some food drop a painkiller or two then be good for the evening

How i hate having my life run by my bl00dy tablets but ho hum

If and when i stop it will be near the fuel area probably on the road approaching but only quick stop stretch and push on

Tell you what i will P,M, my phone number to you

See you all friday Dai

PS. looking at the news tonight i may be planning a jet ski conversion

Just watched "Jemma" the weather girl on BBC points west, the forcast is for a dry Thursday Friday Saturday and she also said something about sunshine!!! not quite sure what that is but sounds very nice, probably a good thing when going for a 200 mile ride.

So Trixters there's still time to book a room and have some fun in the "SUNNY" West Country
