Given that my Jeep appears to be somewhat roadworthy again, any interest in another trip onto the Plain this weekend?

We managed a good turnout last time, would be nice to do the same thing again.... hopefully the Jeep won't get destroyed in the process and Ozzy's Disco can make the full day!

The shed will be ready whenever smile
might be the last one for the 'cheap jeep' as it needs to be sold!

That might suit me. I've still not got a snorkel fitted.
Wifey said something about the kids needing to eat, something like that.

If everyone's still up for this then let's set a time and place to meet.
Jason's most likely otherwise engaged for this one, but I have a decent set of OS maps and some other attendees seemed to know the plain fairly well so I'm sure we can cobble something together.

On the subject of eating, is there any interest in finishing the run somewhere close to a pub and having some lunch?

Meet up where, when?
10 o'clock is my earliest, I'm an hour away, and my babysitter doesn't get up until 9.

A303 towards Andover from the A345, about half a mile from the roundabout.
Only been there about 10 years, so you may have missed it.biglaugh
It's only about 10 minutes from the meeting point.

I should be able to do the entire day. I've stocked up on airfilters (3 spares in the back - just in case)
