Does anyone live at or near Wetherby who could give a "live" weather report in the morning, thank you.

I'm 50 miles north of Wetherby and the forecast isn't good.

My Brother lives 10 miles from Wetherby but he said you need to grow a pair and stop being afraid of a little rain. :-D

That could be useful Chris, you'll be able to give a "live" weather report.

If you do go Stu, please post here. I may head to Wetherby only, to "cross your palm with silver".

Irrespective of the weather, I don't want to spend 2 hours riding home from Barton on my own.

Yorkshire GS'ers are having a ride out to Wales tomorrow, he probably got fed up of the "are they aren't they" of the RT riders and decided to go on that one instead. :-D
