    I can't remember if I said I'd be there on the 15th, but I'm not going to be now! Been 2 weeks in a row and riding at Wyre Forest on sunday, so I'll keep my legs fresh for that.

    quiet here tonight. I think Caz has her Florence Nightingale outfit on (or something similar from Ann Summers) and Steve must be at work late.

    Either that or my Dogging comment was closer to the truth than I realised..... :oops:

    Hope everyone is well.

    You still available for shopping Roo?

    Can you get me £10 worth of merchandise please matey. Would appreciate it if you could leave it as late in the week as possible to get them for freshness, but whatever works for you.

    Just to let you guys know, I have today aggravated my already painful back. I'm trying to get some assistance looking after t'boy for the next few days even if this means or lass laving a couple of days off work, in the hope that I can rest up a bit and be in something like working order by Saturday, but if the weekend comes around and I feel like I do now, I won't be there.

    Gutted :cry:

    @Roo, hold off on that order please mate and I'll let you know how things are going. If you've already got them, your local Pizza take away should give you an empty box for free, post em and I'll reimburse in full.

    @Kyle, if I'm not there and you still want this bike computer, PM me your address and I'll stick it in the post.

    I'm still planning on making this, possibly +1. To save me trawling through all the threads, would someone mind providing the basic details or a link to them please.

    Thanks

    @Dan1502...........here's the meet point info..........the co-ordinates mentioned are as follows........52.73640209020312,-1.9968295097351074 ......copy and paste into google maps and follow my tip below to see the meet point i have described.
    I've looked for the post code but the only one i can come up with that will be any use is the one for the visitor centre which is.......WS12 4PW.

    I looked at the meet point using the co-ordinates you gave and went to street view and there is a dirty great field next to the long layby which is marked with a white line for parking....it's literally outside/opposite the entrance to the visitor centre car park.

    Hope that bit of info helps anyone going.

    Not sure. We are bringing our own food and bbq but might not have time to hang around depending what time we finish.
