It's currently dry here on Teesside but drizzle forecast.

Light rain forecast for Wetherby, Hull and York.

What is it like where you are.

If you go Stu, there is a good chance I will too. Please update later, I'd probably want to set off at 9am to meet at Wetherby for 10am.

Cheers Chris, a text or phone call would be good thank you. I don't have the technology to view the forum when away from home.

Local update. Currently light to medium rain and predicted to stop around 1pm. The further East you come from Wetherby the more chance of rain.

A grand day out, thanks to Stu (sakm) for organising it and leading from Wetherby to Barton.

Sorry we missed you Chris (scunny12).

Simbo, Michael & I managed to find our way to Squires before splitting for home.

Who's going to organise the next Northern Monkeys meet.
