just hope no ice about like the last 3 mornings..
Are you and ZZG intending to go to Kemble Airfield first kayz1 or are you going direct to Gloucester Docks? The reason I'm asking is that I might come down from Chesterfield and I'm trying to work out when I'll have to leave (also restricted to around 4000 rpm - running in) and I've got 150 miles from Chesterfield to the Airfield and that might take me 2 1/2 hours or so. I've also asked Gerard Caygill if he's interested and he's 30 plus miles North of me.
If you leave Stafford Services at 0930 to go to the airfield you've got just over 100 miles which will take you about 1 1/2 hours so you'd get there about 11.00, or 83 miles and about 10.45 if you're going direct to the Docks.
In my case if it's direct to the Docks it'll be 130 miles and just over two hours which is slightly easier for someone who prefers to lie in bed on a Sunday morning.
