gasax, You are lucky, the forecasts lately have been not too bad up there. I've been trying to get to Eshott / Fishburn for weeks but I don't want to stay there for a fortnight. Sunday I think I exceeded the crosswind limit but survived, won't try that again! Sunday before that I got chased out of a CB that I thought was a rain squall till I stuck my nose in it, won't try that again either! All in all a crap summer. Come back 1995. As for global warming, I don't believe a word of it. Didn't the Romans refer to this country as "That wet misty island north of Europe"?
