Sorry it’s been cancelled again, after all your hard work.

Maybe we could book it for a Summer Solstice Weekend instead - better weather and Ray could Dress up as an ancient Druid! :rofl:

Just looking at the very heavy rain once again and knowing how waterlogged everything is here, I sort of know that would be the case however, I was just coming on to say we would not be able to come anyway as Leoch want the battery back for testing.
Not very happy, as I gave them detailed readings from the multi meter at the battery terminals before and after a light load.
So this involves, dismantling the cupboard above and trying to find someone young and strong enough to dead lift straight up the 40kg it weighs and pay them twice as a new one will involve them again.

Silkcut1105 Stu, I know how much time is involved in organising a rally and not only time but a toll on you mentally when you are being the person responsible - a certain amount of worry is inevitable. So sorry that you have had to cancel once again. Thank you for the work you and others have done. Nowhere better than the Forest of Dean in the Autumn - such a shame.

Shame that weather has intervened for another cancellation :( Thanks for the efforts in trying to run it.

At the NEC there are a lot of, expensive, off road equipped PVCs. Maybe we need to invest if this wet weather becomes the norm.
 
Thanks Stu for letting us know. Disappointed but expected .

Not surprised considering the amount of rain we've had. Maybe next year will be better. Thanks for you efforts.

Gutted but not surprised. Only just got home after getting caught in flooding on the way home from Shropshire . Biblical amounts of rain . Thanks for trying to make this happen Stu . Jamie was very excited but I knew it wasn’t going to happen this year .

Such a shame that your hard work along with Ray has been scuppered once again by the appalling weather, as this was my swan song for 2024 I'm gutted.
Thank you for all the updates. See you next year.
 
Ha well, second year I can't wear my outfit, now stored back in the box, at this rate, it's not going to fit, I'm getting bigger each year 😞, Sorry for all the hard work you all put in.
 
Thanks to those that organised this rally. Much appreciated.
For anyone still looking to get away to FOD, we've just booked Hawthorne Cottage campsite nearly by where we've been before.I think they still have some availability.

Hope you are enjoying it. Been a lovely couple of days and we couldn’t resist a trip to the Forest today. First of all coffee and cake at the heritage railway then a walk.
