Did M5/M5 up to Lancaster for ferry to IoM TT last week - and then back again. Bit sick of motorway, although, did get off M6 at coventry and came down Fosee Way on way home Saturday.
Will keep an eye open for other TDMs when travelling North.
XT1200Z - Big and bouncy
GTR1400 - Chaufer the wife.
XT660Z - Fun and commute.
TDM900 - Yellow.

I can see the fuel tap catching me out tho - my Mk2 has a fuel gauge
Anyhoo...
Looks like a Swindon meet-up before heading up the A417 to meet up (with the slow group ) at jct of A49, then up the A49 to meet with wrex is coming together as a possible plan.
Bondy, Marky, I'll be travelling in from Hungerford, is there somewhere to assemble where the B4192 meets the A419/A420 ? Is an 11 o'clock meet acceptable? or do I have to get out of the scratcher in the dark

I won't be meeting up with anyone, as my insurers have up-fucked and consequently I won't have my documents until lunchtime tomorrow, and I'll then need to get the road tax.
I had this all set up for cover from last wekend so there woudn't be any hitches
Thus I'll either be meeting you all in't Lakes in't evening, or going home to Ireland solo.
