Your timing has been good @Hamish, the wind had dropped considerably from last night but now it has picked up again. Amber warning extended until tomorrow afternoon. Oh and to think warnings about wildfires were being issued until yesterday for the tinder dry conditions across the Highlands Ian

PeteStupps Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Sorry to hear this @yorkshire_spam Sam, but as a silent lurker on the Whatsapp 'plebs' chat I can see your RAC / AA has arrived, at least. Hope you get back to base alright. @Hamish you managing to get some sleep? Hope the Acclaim is roomy enough to get comfortable 1

Time for a little shut eye before the next onslaught. Sounds like you are going well, fingers crossed for the rest of the journey.Have a safe night.

Hope you’re not waiting too long for your recovery ride and you don’t have too far to go (too many changes of recovery drivers).

PeteStupps Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Well done @Hamish! No small feat. Guaranteed to make you feel 15-20 years older than when you started. Some of those years will be refunded when you arrive back at Knebworth
