Hi Chris - I'm hoping to be there with some sort of vintage 12 to sample the legendary windshifts of Olton Mere!
But if it's blowing old boots and pouring with rain I may just decide to give the delights of Solihull a miss, sorry.
I'll let you know Fri afternoon via another post.
Tim

Hi Tim, the weather for saturday looks ok with gentle breeze and perhaps a rain shower.
Any other takers?

What forecast are you looking at ??- Windguru and XC Weather both currently show a solid F4 with gusts rising from F5 - F7 during the day.
Too strong for Gruffalo and unfortunately, just discovered that Saskia - my vintage Starfish, has popped a plank (it's come unglued on the land), so unfortunately, won't be there on Saturday as I've no time to repair her before Fri night.
Sorry
Tim
