Hi all,

Just wanted to say thank you to you all for your ideas and feedback. We left for Devon at 3:30pm today and arrived at 7:20 after stopping half way for a can of coke and 40 squids of diesel. All roads ~ M25-M3-A303 were clear and fast running. The only snow we found was within a mile of our final destination. In Ottery St Mary the show is still a foot deep and roads very icy.

A nice feeling to know that if the snow hits the fan, we have all the gear on board to live nicely warm and fed for a few days.

The fact you guys have taken the time to put your thoughts down is great. So Thanks again.

Bud.

Hi Bud,
Glad it went Ok. We are in Ottery St Mary and drove to Cirencester that afternoon. No too much of a problem after had we got up the hill close to where we live.
If you are visiting again, let me know and we could have a mini Surf meet.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi Mark, how funny you live in OSM and i used to up till 1995, now live in London. I'm always down that way and have left my Surf at my parents and bought my other toy back with me to London see her here: http://mini-checkmate.webs.com
