What's the plan for Sunday morning? Meet at Rob's for coffee?

Only I've had this new grandniece for a week now and still haven't seen her, so we're planning a visit on the way home. laugh

Hopefully, by the time we get there, her parents will have sorted out her name. At the moment they're trying them on her on a daily basis...

Tricky to know when asking her opinion whether "Wahhhhh!" means Yes or No ....

Never usually fail to make it, but it would be nice to have a nice, dry, windless and snowless drive up to Carlisle one day laugh

I may break the habit of a lifetime and come up in the Bravo rather than the Coupe tomorrow - it has the snow tyres fitted.

Latest update is that the snow seems to be forecast from the afternoon, turning to rain on Sunday.

Hope everyone has a safe journey but please don't take any unnecessary risks, there's always next year's 10th anniversary to look forward to if you feel it's safer to bail out this time.


This is how it should have come out of Torino!

Bravo, M1, M6 - not the way I would have preferred to do it but it does *not* look a good day to come across the A66 in a coupe on summer tyres... even Shap might be interesting but at least it should be cleared.

Rob, if you can try and arrange that the river doesn't flood this year please?

Folks - really sorry but after looking at this morning's forecast predicting 2-5 cm snow on the M6 plus gales and freezing rain then I'm going to dip this. For those brave souls driving to Carlisle do take care and have a great time!

I'm still in my pj's and drinking coffee while debating whether Robs food is worth taking the risk for again.

I plan to leave about 11.30am and see how things go laugh

Remarkably, we've had very little rain to worry about so far.
Typically, it's been fine driving weather for weeks now, until today!

Still dry here, no hint of anything yet except a chilly breeze.

Sorry Rob (and everyone else); I'm going to have to drop out. I'm not super keen on travelling if the weather is to be bad, coupled with feeling decidedly ropey the last couple of days and not much better today.

Nothing falling yet around the Sports Man pub but its getting darker. Hills have started to disappear to the west.
I'm probably going to go into Penrith earlier and wait for my train...

Pretty much sums it up laugh

Thank goodness for the food and company laugh

Heavy rain and gritters accompanied our trip south, apart from that no problem smile

Why is the parking space outside the Corner House only enough for 1.5 cars confused
