Kit drying out after some heavy rain at the start of today's round.

Played with Region 3, on the same side in 4BBB and we lost so no clues as to the way the result is likely to go.
(Though I hear that the smart money is on the Old Farts )

Just under a 2 hour journey for me so looking to arrive around 12.30 for a coffee or whatever.
Safe journeys everyone and see you all tomorrow for the first leg of the showdown.

Drove through heavy rain around Leeds. Forecast for Lincoln tomorrow looks ok though. If you are coming the A1 there are two fairly long 50 average speed zones around Newcastle.

Just finished my final training bottle of shiraz and off to bed when the footie finishes. Will be up bright and breezy for the short trip to engage the Whippersnappers.

You're a gentleman and scholar. I normally get into trouble on the forum when I get on the red.

That's not a very sensible training regime for my partner.
