weather on wedge day

[combine]

Decided to get an outdoor cover for 390 as some are saying it could be damp . This hopefully will have the effect of changing the forcast , as I'm not looking forward to a wet wedge weekend !

[tallbloke]

Nice one, we'll be able to get at least ten people under that.

[combine]

I'll bring a few umbrellas as well which may just tip the weather back to sunshine for the event !

But the rain makes mine gleam and sparkle !

Also washes the dust off and save me cleaning it ?

Blue sky up here in Leeds this morning. Well some blue sky anyway. Forecast is that the wet will be north of the border by saturday.

Mmmm...If the BBC are to be believed, it's not looking too good. However I personally don't believe half of what they say anyway, so I'm hoping that they are wrong and we are going to have a dry weekend. Think that I also put a word in with the man himself upstairs...

Having never driven the beast in the wet I hope its wall to wall sunshine come the weekend. Whats it actually like driving these torque laden wedges in the wet anyway ? Scary ?

If mine is anything to go by. Scary just covers getting off the drive in the wet. The rest of the jourey isn't too bad as I usually have my eyes closed.

Not scary at all, if you can control your accellerator foot. I stick to very slow acceleration and a maximum speed of 70 mph to be on the safe side. Packing up of the windscreen wiper in the rain would be my main worry.

Wedge is no prob in the wet,went to a village do with Andy last year,had a great time at warp 140 to get there and warp 120 playing

[leorest]

Driving in the wet is no problem. Just be careful. I've done rain, sleet, snow, flood, you name it. Snow was definitely the most fun. BTW there is no need to close your eyes as the condensation blocks your view soon enough. It's a bit like wearing Jujanta 2000 peril sensitive sunglasses

With 120 wedges in one place - I would forcast we will be making our own weather.

And the forcast is :

THUNDER

According to the (famously inaccurate) BBC weather service - it's going to be overcast for the weekend - but no sign so far of rain - so it's either going to tip it down, or we'll be getting fried in the sun - if worst comes to the worst - I'm sure we can rig up a marquee from the wedge roofs, duct-taped together..

Look forward to seeing everyone Sat am..

That's the plan - although there is a chance I'll meet you all up there, depending on whether there's a party going on Friday night

Is it easy to find the assembly area off J4 Steve ??

I've just looked at the BBC weather site and they are forecasting :

Friday 22 degrees cloudy with sunny intervals
Saturday 17 degrees cloudy with sunny intervals
Sunday 16 degrees cloudy with sunny intervals

For Stratford upon Avon - which is 5 miles away..

I'm sure it can all change but it looks hopeful
