The night before the day after

[KeVstrom]

Well im weather watching intently. Travelling from Newcastle at around 8am, down A1 to A66 then west to Brough and  Kirkby Stephen then onto the M6 for Junc32 to Preston. At the moment, there no major issues with the snow but it seems to change on a hourly basis. So all i can do is weather watch and pray that when morning comes, its clear for the journey.

Am i excited?    not as much as this banana

[Lonewolf]

[KeVstrom]

Kev, if you are coming back past Kirby Lonsdale after you have done the deed me and some of the boys will be at "The Bridge" until about 3 ish, call in for a brew and let us know how you went on. I'll be on the yellow Versys.

[KeVstrom]

Yeah that sounds good. If im in the area at the time then yeah, might have a quick pit stop.

[100milesaway]

[KeVstrom]

ok cool. ill see what happens but a stop is the cards.

[KeVstrom]

Wheres The Bridge? goglemaps cant seem to find it in Kirky Lonsdale

[KeVstrom]

nevermind....... my mates told me you meant The Devils Bridge...... weve been there before so we know it. Hopefully, weather permitting, it'll me on the GTR and my mate on his ZZR

[KeVstrom]

Half 4 in the morning...... Its looking good outside so far. Roads damp but no snow or rain so far.
Am i getting excited? ....... Maybe just a bit. Far to damn early, going back to bed.

[KeVstrom]

Couldnt sleep. Been up since about 5am like an excited kid at xmas (or Hanukkah Holiday Armadillo depending on your persuasion). Quick weather check out the window and its clear, roads are damp with morning dew, slight frost on screens but nothing bad. Online check and Richmond, Brough, Preston appears good. So off back to my house via McDs for a horse breakfast.

Nom nom
