ah, they always do that. If you bother to listen to the fork-arsed, you'll
find around about wednesday they say that the weather's going to clear up
before the weekend, by friday morning it's going to be reasonably dry with
sunny intervals and scattered showers, then by friday night there's a band
of rain moving in but it won't get here 'til sunday...

not bad weather here today, bright, sunny intervals and no wet to speak of.

the met office one is much more consitent, and seems to be more often
correct.

I've noticed that the bbc publish a different forecast on their
website to the one they give out on the Tv and the radio!

They're all the bloody same regardless of where in the world you are -
IOW that they've all got some random forecast text generator and just
post whatever it spits out. Below is the forecast for the weekend for
our geographically equivalent bit to Wales and the South. Very vague
and as such likely to be as accurate for you as it is for us.


Saturday
Showers spreading up the west coast. A southwesterly change spreading
north along east coast with a few coastal showers.
Sunday
Mostly fine with early frost in sheltered areas.

Couldn't really wish for a better forcast than that in October :0)

If it's cloudy and sunny we should have a relatively warm night Fri
and Sat.

Sunday morning forcast Sunny so ideal for dring out tents and Awnings.

Winner!

Well, T-10 and we're off...

Decided on 't motorway as I'm not really 100% at present and we
figured most hospitals are more accessible via the motorway network
than ****ty little bendy roads in the middle of nowhere ;-)

aye, we had some fun. Pictures were took (but not by me, cos I hadn't got a
camera with me) and also video clips.

those who didn't come missed a fun day, those who couldn't make it for some
reason likewise.

I daresay there'll be reports and pictures posted.

The monsters really made the weekend, your and Lees.

It was a far better event than we'd expected (only helped by the
weather), especially as it wasn't just another Land Rover event.

A little bit of fun mud-plugging, climbing a mountain, paddling in the
sea. Good grub, lots of drinkies, unbeatable company...

T'was more like a large family gathering - without the fight.
(Well, thinking of my own family there, obviously).

Simply cannot fault the planning - well done Taylor Family in every
respect. I still think that fire needed more wood on it...
