Burghley ( weather )

[KEVTVR]

I just wondered what people's thoughts are about the possibility of rain at the weekend and all the doom and gloom about not going if its raining.
I personally think we should support these events whatever the weather. These events can take months of planning and work and effort to put together. This is our biggest TVR gathering on the calendar, surely we should be supporting it.
Or do you agree with the view " if its raining im not going " I can understand the rainy one at Chatsworth when the rain was coming down horizontally.

Just checked on Met Office and Sundays looking good now, Cloudy and only 10% chance of rain.

I am going regardless. After all we do live in England which the weather is a little bi-polar anyway. Looking forward to seeing what is on display.. oh and the food market.

Unfortunately Kev, I will not be going if there is rain, I don't mind cold and windy, but not rain, I won't derive any pleasure from driving cautiously for over 160 miles with the roof on!

I'll be watching the forecast like a hawk for the next few days. It's about 2hrs away for me and so long as it will be dry for the journey there or the journey back I'll be going. If it is going to be miserable weather all day I'll have to pass as it just won't be a fun journey.

Here's hoping for some spring sunshine!

This was a similar topic we had last night at a mid week meet we had. One of the concerns was if heavy rain prior the event it causes problems of wet muddy field for entry/exit.

I'll be going anyway and see what happens,I agree with what you're saying.

My main problem is the wife who will not trudge around in a wet cold muddy field all day

[phillpot]

No problem, leave her at home

Good job the house has a roof, walls and dry floors then.

Agreed - the house is well worth looking round and the Orangery is very pleasant for coffee and cake.

[Englishman]

It's 150 miles, ~3 hours each way for me and latest weather is cloudy, but no rain! Decisions, decisions!

[dodgepot]

180 miles each way for me and the decisions made, I'll be there from about 10am

Just do it! You never know what you might miss

Cheers
Mark

Forecast getting better!

[TVR Cambs]

Weather outlook definitely improving. I'm going in the T350, with no rain forecast it's likely to be one of the best events of the year :-)

[Andrew Gray]

Tuscan all ready we are coming up from east Kent on Saturday Morning and staying in Stamford at the Local hotel with my Wife and Dog Bonnie.
If you see a West Highland Terrier wandering around lusting after the cars stop and say high to her she loves attention

[ChazUwe]

Come on, almost there... Just need some sun for later in the afternoon and the journey home

[ChazUwe]

Will be happy with that, fingers crossed

[paul1962]

Getting closer...
