The problem is that the site we were booked on is right on the coast and we really need the awning up for the dogs etc,i've had more than my fair share of sleepless nights with gales and the awning collapsing on one occasion,the winds they are forcasting where we were going are enough to upturn a caravan.

Weather warnings aren't while Monday. Even so the Met Office will put out a weather warning for owt -- I'm sure they just do it for fun when they're a bit bored on a slack day.

It is no fun mate I'd have to do the same so maybe us having to cancel is a good thing, it's forecast quite shite up until Wednesday and 40/50mph gusts while towing with buttocks clenched is not an ideal start to a holiday.
rwb, it don't look bad up that way in fairness i was checking the Merthyr forecast for tomorrow you should have a dry ish day.

You'll be most welcome if you manage to get along
I too have done the caravan thing in a storm with a resulting damaged awning

Hmm. 66 litres, probably good for about 600 miles typically?
10% more engine, 90% more horses and about 12% less fuel tank has to add up to a bit less range.
Which route are you taking, Rich?

Just calling in to confirm I shall not be attending this meet (have my kiddos) and I hope you all have a lovely time tomorrow, can't wait to see the photos of the meets, and as per Haynes, get a group photo.
Seems weird now that Jasper won't be bringing a 407 and will be bringing a 406, yet rwb is NOT bringing his 406 and bringing a 407 You guys like your happy medium don't ya
Have a good day chaps, I hope the weather is kind to you.
I am heading to Newquay tomorrow, me, the missus, 2 kids and the Mum-in-Law plus a roofbox - judging by the forecast I had better unplug my air-intake.....
Maybe see you all at the next meet up.
