I'm ready, transport and back up transport sorted (thanks ziggy), as well as a passport some cash and enough camping gear to make ray mears blush! Can't wait, we set off from Bournemouth 2am Tuesday morning.

Ziggy you never did confirm my guess at the 'turdo'? I'm thinking deffo a volvo most probably the 940.

It'll be nice to meet you guy, its turning into quite an adventure allready. I have so much crap to haul there its unvbelieveable not to mention my trip to newport :o: .

Weather forecast is looking OK' ish, but from what i've heard from those already there the campsites are a bit wet !! Tunnels under the track were full of water for practice last week !

All hold hands and pray for some sunshine :group:

'Partly cloudy' & 10-20% chance of rain each day? I'd settle for that!

See you there Kevin - have you still got my phone number? I'm sure I've got the list from last year somewhere...!

The weather does look good, I'm happy its also improving, last night rain was forecast for sunday todayonly 20% of rain! Certainly better than the weather here.

I'm sat here hung over with a pile of camping gear in the corner and I just can't bring myself to pack.

waxed and polished helps with the drag coefficient don't you know? and counts as packed then?

My fat arse will take up more space than my bag, Got everything packed into a space smaller than a golf bag :thumb:

Do we know if we have passengers yet?

Ziggy looks like I'm ok for a lift now but if anything happens I have your number, you may have to collect us off the hard shoulder on the way. I'll have a beer waiting for you guys.

Get some sleep as you'll want it! You'll be too excited once travelling. Maybe catch 30 mins on the boat if you are lucky.

Cya there fella, drive safe.
