[Bucketeer]

RED HOT LIVE ACTION!

[JohnK]

Departed. Brief stops required for a buttie and cup of tea, York bound to collect RichBraith then Manchester way to pick up Ghosty. ETA 5pm!

[beko1987]

I doubt I'll see a dry day before next week now

Off to take eva to school in a bit, then pack the past few bits (bag of clothes mainly) and off I go! 

[chaseracer]

Yo, SVM - see you at Shell Cannock around 1100hrs ?

[dollywobbler]

I have some family chores to deal with in Bideford before I can head south. Should be down mid-morning.

[Bucketeer]

Tourist information -

 

There are loads of single track lanes, which are ace fun in an AX, maybe less fun in grown up car.

The Morrisons in Crediton may have an e28 BMW, but the big Tesco has a whole pub in it's car park. And the Tesco does nicer toilet. And has a nice cafe where I'm currently enjoying breakfast.

Everyone should be fine for phone signal. In a not unrelated matter, if anyone doesn't like sleeping under a mobile phone mast then bring your tin foil hat and pants.

The closed/not closed road mentioned yesterday is definitely not closed. I've seen at least one sign saying it is closed but ignore that. In fact, to be on the safe side, I would advise everyone to ignore all road signs from departure to arrival.

It's lovely here. Or at least it was yesterday in the sunshine.

[kirton]

Kitchen laid out for tea and coffee;  milk in fridge. Cups in cupboard under window.  keep hot water urn topped up

water heaters on and beer cooler cooling

Zumba ladies probably there at 10 so kitchen and toilets available when they unlock. Gents downstairs, ladies upstairs.   Club room available when they leave, arrange chairs and tables as you want.  I'll be over later.

Bucketeer is right about the lanes, caution is advised

Rain is now raining, wind isn't properly blowing

 

 

 

[Bucketeer]

Yes! I knew it was worth packing my Zumba outfit.

[Saabnut]

Fast breaked so packing my bag and leave is imminent!

[Ghosty]

JohnK is running two hours late. The A8 has FTPd and he's gone back for something else. All I know is it's slower. ETA... late.

[cms206]

I'm averaging about a litre of engine oil per 150 miles.

 

This may end badly.

[hairnet]

Well, you could always put a V8 in if it breaks.

That'll never catch on.

[beko1987]

Stage one of my trip achieved, waiting for Mr Nyphur for some hot shitely action

Then I might go grab a drink or something

[tooSavvy]

Watching with interest, wearing 'virtual galoshes' and 'Savvyista' default TinHat (... foil pants in the wash!)

Glastonbury mudwrestling, in the toilet queue, must be recorded for the benfit of non attendees

[Six-cylinder]

It is raining outside and this is my current view.

[Bucketeer]

A worryingly small booze delivery van has just visited the clubhouse.

When it left me in June 2018 I pointed out an oil leak.  It was losing about 0.5 litre of 20-50 per 500 miles.  Good luck!  

It still gives me a  pang when I see photos of BRM.  The Tipo which I use now is nice, but I miss the Stellar's homely beige interior.

Zumba ladies gone. Clubhouse locked. Awaiting further instructions.

[Ghosty]

Not going well, is it?

[Jerzy Woking]

Even though it's sunny and 28c where I am, I am envious of you all, and wish i were going there, even if it is (probably) going to be pissing down.

[Bucketeer]

It's officially a gathering now.

[SiC]

Was that picture taken in the year 2000?

[AnthonyG]

Having something to eat in Wellington - probably will be along by about 1:30
