Cant imagine it will be flooded at that height. I'll come along Jon.

be lucky, Iain.

I'm up for a bit of paddling, or wading.....

Well if that is flooded i will find out if my beemer is
a recycled u-boat

Stick my name on the list John can you, been a while since I was there.

All names added to the list.
If the weather plays ball the run up to this venue from
Haydon Bridge and Alston is fantastic.
So give yourselves a bit of time to have a play on the
local roads.

If you are coming in from Alston and you want to 'play' do not go into the car park first, its full of dust and gravel. There are a few hair pin bend like John says great road but not with dust and gravel on your tyres.

20 mins from my house, if im not working ill be there. Some lovely
roads round that area.

Put us both down last weekend of the Easter hols so be a nice day out

Your both down Graeme/Sally
