Kwacky I m sure leaving newtown at 1200 which gives us 6 hours to play with will be fine. I haven't promised the missus a time I will be home but she wants to go out so she will be happier the earlier I am. Better to miss the rain IMO it will make the whole day more enjoyable if we don't start cold and wet.

I m going to get up and head for the Raven for 10 as most have said this OK. Trust that's good with you guys.

Better to delay an hour and try to make it up (which is completely possible) than call it off due to rain IMO.

Just spoke with Graham and he's cool with new timing so let's do it and fingers crossed we now all stay dry.

Damp here but at least rain has stopped so hopefully the little delay has done the trick.

See people at Raven and Newtown McDonald s

Just got back home after 300+ miles in.mid Wales.

Damp start but worth venturing out as had a really great day out with some good lads.

Was nice to see Jimmy again after what must be 6 years and also nice to meet his mate Alex who will hopefully join the forum.

Got soaked thanks to Rocket, haha and also met up with Bratty, Kwacky and Daytonandy . Top day outcheers lads.

Will write a full report later, going for a quick shower before its beer o'clock.
