Got mine printed out

Just need to figure out where and what time I'm meeting you Dave - let me know where you thinks best.

I also need to sort out some euros, the exchange rate is so poor these days though, wish I'd stocked up last year now

Not thought about it yet, should take about 1.25 hrs to get there. 6.30 sounds a bit early
I can't remember what time we need to be there, but if you want to come round, please feel free.
Straight up the link road and an easy run along the M4 then

[SWMG Admin]

I think that is a tad early Lizzie ;D meet point at Service Station/Ford Lodge Restaurant post code SA33 4NA nr St Clears/Carmarthen for approx 8.30/9am

[Floozy]

Dont forget this is a Friday morning ie a workday ... when I have to be in Carmarthen by 9am on a Friday it usually takes anywhere between and hour to hour and a half (but then I do have to get through swansea

[Jerry & Di]

Busy plotting Andrew's Saturday route into the laptop. This will give my navigator inch by inch detail of where we need to go ;D
I've also got some OS mapping software which is North American based. It has a military division, which I can't get into yet, but I imagine it's what is used in GPS guided systems in Cruise missiles. If only Di knew what she was doing, she could start WW3.
I've been running GPS guided mapping software for the last 12 years now, long before Tomtoms? came out, so whilst it is not as small and neat as more modern stuff, it gives a whole lot more.

We're following RL anyway to see what happens ;D

I've got three pmr radios, any use for convoying?

That's what I was thinking, normal weekday traffic and we will probably meet all the rush hour stuff heading into Swansea, better to arrive too early ;D
