I'm going to have to see how I feel on the day... I assumed since you didn't move there @Gavster that it was cancelled, so now have a commitment on Saturday that will involve a few beers. :lol: Driving my car on a hangover is not that enjoyable.

That's the irony, despite not moving, it's still less than 90 mins from my current place via a quick hop onto the North Circular :D

Fair enough, although I highly reccomend few paracetemol and water before bed to asuage that, just in case you can make it ;)

I find Ribena before bed more effective than water, but paracetamol before bed has me intrigued. I usually pop ibuprofen pre-emptively in the morning but pre-bed had never occurred to me.

MIL will be over by Sunday, so I do have a reasonable amount of motivation to dust off the cobwebs and come along. Car hasn't been out much over winter.

Ribena is deffo a good shout, and it's reminded me that I sometimes chug some electrolyte drink, to get the full-on hydration effect. Not sure what it is about paracetemol, but I swear that popping some before bed results in better sleep and a minimised hangover.

It looks to be a clear, crisp and sunny day too 8-)

Be good to see you there @duncs500 .
Thanks for the 11am meeting time, seeing as it's 2 1/2 hours+ for me, I didn't fancy getting up too early.

I've not actually done a meet like this before so had no idea what time they usually start :lol: being more of a social and less of a drive-out, hence late morning seemed more appropriate.

That's one of our motorbike club destinations, it's decent. I should be there, might be on 2 wheels depends on the weather really.
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

Hmm, apparently I have a 2 years olds birthday party to go to ( not mine)

I don’t know what time or how long it will go on for. Hopefully not long!

If anyone’s ok with letting me have their number I’ll see when I can escape and catch you somewhere if you’ve not all gone home :lol:
Cheers, Harry

My gold tip is good hydration and a nytol pre bed as I find that booze gives me a crap night's sleep which is the main thing that makes me feel dreadful the next day.

To be fair, a summertime meet (not during school hols) in Suffolk would be awesome 8-)

Thought I'd better check the car this morning, apart from the ongoing coolant leak it actually started first time and felt good when I nipped out.

I thought it would be dry, but it was a selection of wet, dry, frosty.:shock: After not having driven it for a few months, I need to bond with the old girl again! :lol:

I’ve been out for a bit of a spin and the roads are drying up nicely, only a bit damp where there are puddles in shaded areas, but it’s lovely out and about 😎

It's absolutely beautiful weather here and looks to be exactly the same tomorrow, chilly overnight then clear and bright - a perfect day to get out of town 8-)
