Thought I had plenty of fuel for the ride, but when I checked I only had 15 miles left. But filled up now so all good for next weekend.

Also set the route out for the Tom Tom. We'll have a 1h 15 min ride.

If anyone wants the sat nav files, let me know.

Next year, perhaps.

We could have Northern Contingent bimble down for few days next year. It's nearer the equator so it'll be hot and sunny won't it

As long as you lot don't bring your weather down with you.

It's been lovely all September here until today.

That sounds like a plan, Steve.
I'm up for it.

As for the weather: yes, it bucketed down this morning but the pavements are dry now, the temperature in my yard is 25℃ and the sky is largely blue.
There's even plenty of petrol in the filling-stations.

As usual we had around 90 mins of rain and then the sun came out. Nothing like it was forecast. Even the temperature drop didn't happen. A reasonable 18.1c outside in the shade.

Hopefully we can all get fuel for this

I filled up the day before panic ensued. I’ll resist the urge to ride out before Sunday so I’ve still got a full tank. Knowing the Sunshine Coast it’ll be 20c and sunny

I have 120 miles in the tank. The ride from Colchester to Walton is 35 miles.

130 round trip for me if I went direct to Whites and my tank is 5 miles into reserve, there are people queuing for hours to get fuel here according to the local FB group.
