The various inaccurate apps I've got access to said rain more in the afternoon after 4. Matey on the BBC said that the great north run would probably be ok in the morning.

Might need a sharp exit mid afternoon. Good luck to those camping!

Forecast for here today has changed and it looks like it will be mainly dry with maybe a shower mid morning.
Rain has moved to tomorrow afternoon too, hopefully the wind will foook it back off up the north east :)

i want to run my B10 and 400lbs in the wet isn't much use seeing as traction is an issue there in the dry. If the rain looks like it will hold off i might make a flying visit

All set to leave early, only thing that will stop me is if it's tipping down at 6ish. Looking forward to this as I haven't been for a couple years.
