I go off of my app, using the actual location then check the hourly forcast, but i always check hourly on the day too, i remember the 2009 pv Saturday washout, i posted on here i was going on Sunday and the weather forecast said sun after 11.00am, i kept telling everyone, and.... Out came the sun lol

Hopefully be in the saloon, but got to; Build engine, build diff, build gearbox, fit rad + fan, fit fuel pump and filter, fit driveshafts, fit suspension, take it for rolling road, pack and them set off, easy enough in 3 days i think :d
Clean it when I get there I think ;-)

I've gotta paint my bumpers. Clean it, service it and sort out why it's running ****. Then set off Friday 12 ish in convoy. Hoping Scott the weatherman is right :)
Make brackets to hold my braided lines then bleed the brakes. Fit exhaust system, fit oil cooler, filter snd oil. Front bumper back on. Fettle my tow bar. Then MOT and tax. Clean polish and wax.
Then dig out the loonque, empty it of everything and clean inside and out. Check all the flags, gazebo and marque and pack it all away again.
Then dig out my tent and check it all etc then set about finding everything else I need to camp at the weekend.

Ive been to 3 different locations to fill up the borrowed Volvo estate with as many pieces of rusty car tat that Ive stashed away over the last ten years, so that I can auto jumble to pay for the Gaz suspension Ive bought for my 'loon! You wouldn't believe the amount Ive crammed in it! Hope I sell it all on the first day so that I can enjoy the rest of the show.
Dig deep guys, I need the monies! lol
