Mac of Cygnet Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 We'll be having our usual egg-boolin' and jarping gathering. I remember one year I had to clear the snow off the course in a neighbouring field. Never mind, hot soup will be provided (and beer consumed).

Models are now all aligning with colder weather for easter weekend. Average of predicted temps in London are 5°C down on expected temperature this time of year. I doubt if that means snow (or any other white stuff) but probably means the stove will still be 24/7. Make the most of this week/weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan de Enfield Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 There are certain guidelines that must be followed to ensure a relaxed retirement - the golden rule No1 being : "Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow" (courtesy Homer Simpson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudds Lad Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 we're back on for a week on the Easter weekend, we had planned going up the Middlewich branch and some way up the Macclesfield but recent events have put paid to that idea. in Feb we went up to Ellesmere Port and back and then on the Middlewich, turned on the T&M and came back up. Llangollen was done twice last year. So i'm guessing it's a right turn out of Overwater and see where we end up, although its a lot of locks on the first half-day with unknown (to us) moorings. Anyone got any recommends? Suppose it'll be rammed near the Shroppie Fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
