Leave about 11:30 am

We'll then do a wiggly route and end up at La Houge farm shop cafe http://www.lahogue.co.uk/ The route is about 50 miles of mainly b roads

If anyone wants to meet at La Houge, we should be here about 1pm (ish)


For anybody travelling from the Kings Lynn area, a few guys are meeting at Arbuckles off the A10 at 10am for a 10:20 departure and then convoy to Thertford map link

so far we have:

I'm after a favour if at all possible

On the 27th, does anyone have a spare co-pilot seat available for my son?

He's 21 and an enthusiast, however his mum won't give up her seat in mine

It doesn't have to be for the whole event but would be very much appreciated if someone can help out

He loves coming out with me in the car especially when we go slightly over the speed limit

Gary.

The long range forecast say's no more snow here after Monday but we had hardly anything yesterday and last night. It's forecast to be cold but dry next Sunday at the moment so praying to the weather god that it will be OK as desperate to get back out.

Providing the roads are clear of snow/ice we are still going and with rain forecast later in the week that should also take care of the salt.

Travelling to work, the B roads are improving but not suitable at the moment, however the forecast up until and including Sunday is getting warmer and with rain which should take care of the snow.

I will be checking one of the most notorious B roads on Saturday and can update then.

We will still be going whatever as last opportunity for us until March and friend coming over with his Scooby on Saturday.

Unless the roads are totally covered in snow I'll be there
I've reserved a table for us at La Houge for 1pm (ish)

If the weather is totally poo how about just meeting at La Houge for a bite to eat and a natter?

Mate's already arrived from Rushden so we are both going one way or another. If the B roads are likely to be pants then yes happy to meet at pub for lunch.

Can you let me know if anyone is meeting at Arbuckles otherwise we will head straight for Thetford and Two Mile Bottom car park for 11 to 11:30.
