Two opposing weather forecasts at present so I decided not to post them. Knowing the way forecasts go I think it's still too early. Should have some confidence by Friday.

Excellent idea. Please only cars with passengers. I don't like the idea of drivers holding the DV. Although it could lead to an interesting recording, something worthy of Kirsty's home videos perhaps.

I'm happy to hold a camera for a while.
Camera in one hand, sick bag in the other. Should be fun. Sorry MickC I'm sure you'll drive calmly and sedately, though on second thoughts......

OOOOOOooooo!!! The excitement!! I have managed to get hold of a DV camera, tape and a couple of batteries to record the event.

There may have to be a frequent changing of the camera vehicle though for more interesting shots.

Ah, that sucks man! Unfortunately things are not looking good at work, so I may have extra work to do at home. I will only know on Saturday. If I can't make it I will try and text someone. Things are not good at the moment.

Hopefully all will be good.

All in the same day?

Hope things workout OK for you. Believe me getting out for a run will put that smile back on your face.

Right someone better help me sort the route out...
Once you've found your way to the lay-by at Teesside Airport you'll have no problems staying in convoy. You'll need to set things up with the northern group to get from Newcastle though. It's fairly simple main roads and so you should be able to keep minimax in sight. I know he likes to 'right foot' though so you may have to have words with him.

I'm an optimist Stefan. The report is as forcast by NTL. If it were bad weather I would not have reported anything.

I think this shot sums the day up very well.

Thanks for joining in the fun today. I wasn't sure how well it would work having a run so early in the year. I guess there's a lot of car washing planned now.
