Title: Didn`t go......
Post by: Debs. on 28 June 2008, 13:27:27
Weather here (and forecast for route) was simply-ghastly this morning (and that) combined with the shockingly high cost for petrol for the trip: I`took the executive decision not to go on a day-trip to Keswick and stay-home.
....as always with such things; `really regretting it now :'(

Debs, you`re not alone..
I`d love to meet up with Northern miggys but a 700mile round day trip is a bit too much for me :(

I didnt go either Debs  :( ........I didnt really fancy the weather forecast either.....sharing a tent with a wet dog isnt my kinda fun.......and as you know they still need walking what ever the weather.....

The above and it would have cost me around £500, taking into account lost earnings fri/sat, fuel, and spending dosh .......i couldnt really justify it....

Tho if it had been forecast for hot sunny weather i would have probably thought bugger the money....... ;D

Hopefully it will be sunny forecast for the Newent meet  :y

Perhaps you can make that one instead  :-/

Very odd. Certainly no warning. I see what you mean about it perhaps being a technical issue.

You were missed Debs ;)

There were quite a few no shows and the owner of the site mentioned that we would have to pay because she had turned people away, but we got away with it and I think its been decided not to go back there again next year because of her constant moaning :(

Likewise always nice to see Jim at the meets although I see he's not got the alarm fixed on that Audi yet and now the headlights have developed a mind of their own too.
Are the electrics made by fiat on those things? ;D ;D

They're pretty bad on the A8, especially the first few years of a new model.  Of course, the 7-series is terrible too.
