Bastard!
Just been to NY for a week working, and the bloody MOT has run out while i was away...
C*ck!
Must get it done tomorrow - there are floods on their way in these parts and i need to promote good 4x4 use (plus make people silly for getting stuck)
NO! I'm camping easter and the camp site has a warning that it's prone to flooding - friggin typical!

There's one in Sedbergh which I go to sometimes, which has a flood warning siren, if it goes off you're supposed to make for high ground :-)
The skifield and it's associated campground near here (Mt Ruapehu) has a flood warning siren that activates in case of a lahar from the crater lake at the top of the mountain. You're supposed to remember which bits of the mountainside are "safe" and head to them if the siren sounds. Strangely they have placed the campground in an unsafe area.
How did the MOT go?
Have I got to come and tow a Golf around Saturday ;-)
Weather looks er ... interesting!

Everywhere is fully booked till thursday, so its being done thursday at 8am.
You'll have to give me a bell one evening, ill swing over and say hi.

That campsite in Sedburgh Austin. Is that the one with the toilets built in the old sewage tanks right by the river??. I spent a week there a few years ago and watched the river rise over 4ft one night....no siren though.

's called Pinfold. It got snazzy new toilet block and so 2 or 3 years ago.
I don't know if the siren actually works, certainly there used to be a big notice about it and I think that's still there.
Passed :)
Just in time by the sounds of it. Our camp site at St Neots has closed due to flooding (prob wet grass as opposed to big full on floods) and now we are up at Houghton some 15 miles away than the origional plan. Hay ho!
I'll pack me waders!

Are you working all 4 days, or do you get some time off.
We might pop over and have a brew if your got some free time
Heh, we set off for Ripon in the morning ... forecasted for snow.
Kids are in the awning annexe ... ;)
Yeah I was going to pack Barbie and beers but Sledge and De-icer may be order of the day.... doesn't taste the same mind!

It's a Sat and Sunday 9 til 5 course to tutor me through an exam - paid up personally, The familee are stopping at wom and Me and a dude from work also in to Landies going on this course.
Arrive Friday Tea time no doubt, possible venture once set up. Sat Eve should be freeish - If theres any decent floods may have a peek but no snorkle yet so nowt too adventurous.
Sunday is bog off home for a warm ready for earlies Monday (Bank holiday rate - couldn't turn it down)

My landy is still working perfectly! - so I'll be impressed if it snows!
If it does then it looks like the landy/snow cycle might have been broken! ;)

I've got a bit of a bad back at the moment, so I'll be really peed off if you call us out and I can't respond
