Depends what time your meeting, Mark. It's an hours drive from here and I'll have to walk the dogs before I leave.

Hopefully, I'll be there. One issue for me is that my Mother has been taken into hospital, so unless there are any problems - I'll see you
at 7ish
Mark you have a U2U

I'll do my best but there's every chance that I just turn over when the alarm goes off at 5.

Ooh another breakfast run!
Must try and get out of bed on time.
If not there for the 07:00 at Devils Bridge I may well just head up to Hartside cafe, Google says 2 1/2 hours from home to get there the scenic
route.

Phew! Proper drive out that was.
For me it was off at 6.20am to meet the rest of the gang at Devils bridge (a nice group of 7 cars).
Cracking blat to Hartside cafe for a full breakfast, then off again over the tops at Alston and then all over the place (not a clue where apart from
Brough cos I just follow) and returning to Devils bridge.
Got home at 1.30pm and 250 miles on me clock and a grin on me face.
Cheers! to the leading drivers who knew where they were going and it was good to meet some new faces.
I need forty winks now

I really enjoyed the run and appreciate being able to tag along. I need to gain bigger balls to keep up at times but it does mean you do not see me
going up a banking when I miss the bend!!
I liked the idea of using sat-nav to foresee the bends, I may try that idea.
 
Sun run
Cheers

I can't play out anymore til I've fixed my car.
It started when we were out on the Blat - If I held it at 4000rpm it started to sputter but would run fine before that rev band and after it too.
I spent all day cleaning the Delortos inside and out and just for good measure put some WD40 on the (don't know what you call it) electrical
connection on the end of the balance rod.
I did that because as it sputtered I noticed that the rev counter fluctuated like mad and almost dropped to zero occasionally.
Anyway this afternoon I went for a 30mile test drive and whoopee no more sputtering. I called in at t'hospital, saw me Mam and then went to
Tesco on the way home.
However, when I got back to it, the battery was flat. Good job theres a bit of a gradient on the car park, so I jump started it. It ran fine but the
rev counter wasn't moving (all the other instruments were working) and the indicators are week. Is it obvious that it's not charging and
could it just be the alternator, it's an Edge CM550 - 45amp (4years old).
Give me a spanner and I'm OK, show me a piece of wire and I'm S**te.
Any suggestions?
PS: Joe, I thought you said you couldn't get up that early in the morning.
