I propose to meet in the layby on the B1112 that's just north of the LAKENHEATH AUCTION CENTRE at IP27 9AH ;)

All depends upon the wind direction, but we have to meet somewhere! ;)

Done!

Bit of drizzle never hurt anyone! ;)

Metcheck is looking better than it did yesterday. Just saying light rain in the afternoon now. It did say HEAVY RAIN ALL DAY.

So, we might only get a bit wet, rather than soaked!!

National weather has said rain by 9 lasting until late afternoon and if you are lucky enough to have some breaks it will be cloudy :(

Suggest a Thermos!!

It's chucking it down in Milton Keynes and has been since 7am, plus the mass of grey cloud is very low. Poor buggers, I hope they get to see something.
