I've already plotted GF3 for March as a warm up for Mallorca  

I'll come and join you, however might have to split after half way.

I seem to remember your order being 'pot of tea, slice of victoria sponge and a room for the night Mark!'

Folks, in the unlikely event I can get a pass, could I meet you somewhere on the railway path (makes more sense for me, coming from S. Bristol). Say where the ring road and railway paths meet, or at Bitton? What time do you think you would be there?

Cheers.
