Might be in the Ford yet - went to take Edward II to the gararge for a MOT, no fire, no siree no way.

Battery not up to much, so put a spare one on which turned out to flat also. Took both to the shed, charged Edward's. Battery back on after work and he fired up no problem. bloody prima donnas. Up to the garage but no chance of a test til next week, too much else on. They might have time for a look-over to see what needs doing. But that doesn't leave long to fix the inevitable faults, then get him tested.

Mind, I could probably shave about 2 hours off the journey in the Ford, but it's not so good for sleeping in, so I'd have to bring the tent... 's also not really what you'd call an off-roader, although suprisingly capable on smooth slippery stuff.

Get the priorities right. Whill the BBQ fit in the boot? :-)

I guess it doesn't really matter much what people turn up in, being an unofficial social gathering an all. Was rather looking forward to seeing how well Edward II would do on a non-Welsh offroad course, though :-)

B'grit II - that reminds me to install the replacement head unit after the 'great break-in' when someone (who now wished they hadn't), broke into Grumble last November...

Still, that'll clear a bit more office floor :-)

The BBQ and camping gear will fit in easily. Might have to hunt a blow-up mattress, though - I think the one I've got has a leak.

This Graham G anon leet fle a fart, As greet as it had been a thonder-dent, That with the strook he was almoost yblent. and said....

Graham - I've just discovered that I will need to be in Brighton by the Sunday night (having made it back to Pembs on the way) so we will need to leave first thing Sunday morning - no trip for us, I'm afraid.

Did you get them on the CCTV footage? Little buggers who broke into one of my schools in the same week (and who we got on the new CCTV) have managed to wriggle out of it through some method i dont quite understand. (though 2 of them were pulled out of home and interviewed all day on christmas day which is nice :-) )

CCTV footage was useless. I used the 'Huggy Bear' technique.

I'm pretty sure we have our old one kicking around somewhere - I'll ask Charlotte. It's a double - will it fit in your tent?

Facial stuff - you mean graphite laden grease, used oils etc?

some fancy cleanser and make up that she makes me use after a long session of landrover (or more recently shitroen) bashing because "all those nasty oils and greases do your sensitive skin no good at all"

can I confirm that the farm is at SP 2985 4565, as I had to get Memory map to convert into lat and longitude, when normally I use Nat Grid. There is certainly a farm there called Harrods farm, with nearby ones called Rectory farm and Vine House Farm

questionable. I was thinking of a single one. double might go in at that, all the way across :-)

does it hold air, that's the main thing. I've got plenty that don't.

if push comes to shove, I'll chuck my tent in for you austin, 3 man (at a push, 2 comfy, 1 is luxury) or 8 man version?

great

father and mother not coming, something to do with being back at school the following day and not wanting to suffer too much. Me.... the kids know when to be quiet, and the staff have been briefed as well!

Oh, I've got a tent. it's the air mattress that's not up to scratch.

Noted somewhere in this thread that a Projector is coming along, assuming a DVD player will be attending as well. If so i've got a rather interesting DVD of off roading in Germany during the Cold War whilst being chased by the Russians............
