Looks like it's going to be WET and WINDY there over the weekend, surprise surprise - see www.bbc.co.uk/weather/6941089 Never mind. Luckily some of us are weather hardened from visits to The Bothy. Forecast to be nice on Monday - Sod's law.

Not saying that it will be HOWLING wind like at the Bothy but past experience tells me that when the wind forecast for a general area is near the 20s then an exposed spot like Ribblehead will be windier. E.G. On last December's 2 trips to the Bothy the wind forecast for Shap was just low to mid 20s, but at the Bothy it was portacabin-blowin rip yer face off weather.

Hi vern hope u make it & if u got any stuff on the Scotland trip would be a good time to chat about it as its not long to go Ching ching Yes we can chat about it no probs. I don't have too much to add to the proposed route, ferry suggestions, and rough timings already in the Scotland convoy thread though. I'm kind of a minimal planning person, but you are welcome to suggest stuff to do along the way or alternatives

@marie and Neil, could you call in to see Outtolunch Chris on the way? He has something for Marie from me which she might find useful this weekend. It might not be to her taste but I think it could definitely be useful...
Hope you like it Marie, if not I'm sure you could use it for just pottering around in the garden... xxx

Had a great time. Lots of vans there from 5 different forums, FMUK, WC, MH-W, SBMCC, and the LDV forum so we all met many new people and with no "them and us" negativity. First two days very wet and windy with sleet and snow too. But yesterday brightened up and we even managed a fire in the evening! A bit of a whirlwind trip for me, as 250 mile journey each way for 2 1/2 days up there, but still great fun. Thanks to Mr onion for all the food and hospitality and Glen and Jo too for the Rum and the lovely noodles And not forgetting Mr Tony N8erbos for the the idea and organising it!
