Weather permitting, yes, "Dave the driver" lives in Wetherby, I'll get a nowcast from him at 08:00 in the morning, atm, a few showers are forecast, http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2634217

I would be leaving home around 09:00 and will post before setting off or not, is that early enough for other attendees.

Have spoken to "Dave the Driver", it's dry with sunny intervals in Wetherby, see you at Morrisons for a 10:30 departure.

An inclusive ride/drive out for two & three wheeled vehicles, it work out well.

Thanks to Garmin & Tom Tom, the routes were successfully navigated, shame the same can't be said for the BMW Nav VI.
