The car is packed..
.. and i'm ready to go!
Ignoring the constant rain today, the forecast is still looking quite good!
I won't be online until Sunday arvo sometime, so i'll catch up then..
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at Lostock, it should be a great time, cloudy or clear.
I'm going to have to spend the next 3 weeks processing the images I take, the photos I take, doing a writeup, etc. All during a very busy time at work! 
See some of you guys tomorrow!

On the road again.... hope you've got your Willy Nelson packed, I'm envious of you north islanders being able to pack up and drive without first having to navigate the pond....  Say hello to everyone for me...

I pitched the tent in my yard on Tuesday. Just to make sure it was still in usable condition and it has rained ever since....at least I now know it's still waterproof. I just hope it stops raining by tomorrow morning so I can cack it up and get the flock outta dodge.

Hey Tony,
I am leaving home at midnight, to load up Erik's stuff and then go.
We will be going down the New England Highway, so if you catch up to a brand new Tarrago, loaded to the gunnels, give us a honk.
I have maps all the way to Lostock.
Mike.
