If I solve my cooling problem (see Chim forum) I will be heading down from Cheshire via the Worcs area and would be interested in meeting up.

Jeez!
If you fancy coming down Sat I'm sure we can find you a space on a floor somewhere to sleep.
Then you can partake in the Sunday Rumble as well

Anythings got to be better than putting up with the M6 just for a brief visit. Mail me!

Many thanks for the offer, but my presence is required for dinner at my folks' place on Sat evening. Will only be a one-way M6/M5 trek thankfully, as my pash's parents live not far from the gorge.

Cheers

Hugh, John, I'd love to join you, but with my Cerb still suffering from a failed damper, and the wife ready to drop, I don't think I'm going to make it.

Best wishes, enjoy the day and give my love to Kayte.

PS - Hugh, are you coming over this arbo?

Where are you guys going from the Cheltenham junction? Are you going to the Golden Heart or straight down the M5?

I live near the Old Severn bridge and would like to meet up. Only problem is that I've managed to obtain some tickets for the Wales v Ireland game on Saturday. Have to make sure i don't get too bladdered...

going down M5, Joining M4 Bristol, Turning off at M32 junction, turn off M32 on junction 2 going East and under motorway to within approx 1/2 mile of pub.
Fuel is available I believe at the roundabout on the M32 junction.Full Tanks needed for 3hour route to Cheddar I'm led to believe.

I'm travelling from near Lydney, could meet up around Chepstow?? Planning to be at Golden Heart soon after 09:30.
If you can see straight that is

If thats too early, think Tone (posted above) is travelling across from Wales later.
