"Dave the Driver" has confirmed he is available for the 21st, that'll give us a "live" weather nowcast from Wetherby before setting off or not as the case may be.

I'm undecided about this one, should it be postponed until next week, the 28th.

Thanks for your input Dave, part of my thought process was based around the weather coming from the west, where most of the regular attendees live.

That's it then, let's postpone tomorrow (Saturday 21st) & look at it again next week 28th.

(Will change the date in the title of the thread).

Out of interest, what's the weather like where you are this morning (21st).

It's dry & sunny with a clear blue sky, although a little windy here at IB, rain not forecast until 16:00.

Was it the right decision to postpone until next week.

Broken cloud with dark cloud coming in from the west, probably the right decision as it's forecast heavy rain from midday 👎
