Hi Jo, I'm planning to leave Paul's ranch in Leigh-on-Sea with the boys around 11am. Route planner says it will take 3 hrs to get to Evesham, so hopefully be at Ian's house around 2pm traffic permitting.

Hi Nick, it took me near enough 4 hrs to get to Pauls last year, and longer coming home! If you can make it in 3hours you will be doing very well! Look forward to seeing you and a safe journey too!! :mellow:

Looking like a corking weekend atm weatherwise for dry and warm weather, but sadly no MCS with a strong ridge across us:

With no MCS, I'm hoping we get clear skies to be able to watch the Perseids! Lounging on the grass, by a river, looking up at shooting stars...can there be anything much more relaxing?? :drinks:

If anybody feels slightly energetic on the day there is a short Riverside walk, which goes to Hampton Ferry one of the oldest River Ferrys in the Uk perhaps world, its been there many centuries where the Monks from Evesham Abbey crossed the River to care for there Vineyards on the nearby hill, Clarkes Hill, once called "Vineyard Hill".Its only pennys to cross which takes only about a minute, but on the otherside there is a bar too! It really is a lovely walk ,and only short too!! There is also some goal posts on the meadow so if anyone wants to play footie please do so!! Looks as though we are going to be lucky with the weather too.......!Anyway just a bit of trivia and info on this Ancient town. :whistling:

Slightly random question, are owners of the NW stormchase t-shirts going to be wearing them? I'm guessing probably not, just don't want to look like a hardcore nerd, or similarly be a let down if everyone else is :) lol

Not wearing mine Harry but you do know it is fancy dress dont you :):)

BTW Just erected the 9 Man Tent which has 3 living compartments in the garden and the kids are testing it out as I type. Sleeping bags in the wash atm.

Better get the tents up b4 we all get lashed next week or we could be sleeping under the stars with the mossies

Hi all,

Well, I've dug out our two man tent, dusted it down, found out my air bed and sleeping bag - so I think I am ready for next week-end!! Just need some instructions about how to put the tent up and I should be fine :)

Looking forward to seeing everyone and having a good laugh - see you all on Saturday :)

Bye for now

Tammy

I did mention,earlier if anybody could bring along some foldup chairs that would be good,

I've got 4 or 5 chairs at my shop which we can use if someone can pop by and pick them up? A couple of small folding beach chairs and some plastic stacking chairs.

Twyford Antique Centre - far end of the High St, just past the Co-op and directly opposite the Post Office. I'm in the same building as Abbey Appliances :) I'm here 9.30 till 5.00 every day (but will be leaving about 4.00 on Saturday ;) )

Still looks ok for Saturday, but I think models are now downgrading the "supposed" upcoming fine spell...look at the latest two runs from Ecm, ,,,,!

Well John and I are hoping for fine weather. At least I am because John doesn't know yet that have just tried out the tent and not only were the tent pegs missing but they had also lost some of the tent poles, So unlike Paul's tent our tent requires being lashed. Get get to watch the stars yet.

Well the models have clearly downgraded any real good BBQ conditions and gfs has replaced it with some potential showers, :angry: I just hope we are far enough west to escape them or even better ,that the models are and will be completely wrong! Still,plenty of tme for changes! :)

A long-way off still and liable to change.

To say I'd be angry if that comes to fruition will be understatement of the century lol - no storms and no meteor shower in Evesham?? Grrr lol
