Anyone coming to the weekend who is likely to see or lives fairly near Andy Whapshott (This Way Up)?

I have a Cherub Hoodie for him.

I guess the weather maybe a big part of the decision making for us Midlanders attending. Joe and I are still up for it at the moment. What is the weather like from bristol to Weston-s-m side. and whats the forecast??? Any advise or decisions, about the weekend, from the South Westerners gratefully received. Intending sat morning arrival and bringing bedding as well.

So far not too bad weatherwise. I think it's worse to the East of Bristol at the moment - reports of heavy snow in Bath and it is due to snow here in the next hour or so. I'm heading towards Southampton imminently (assuming trains are working) so can offer a full report between Bristol and there shortly. Looks like there won't be a great deal more snow after today and it's due to warm up considerably for Saturday. Hopefully it won't be too bad, but best keep it under review.

Not only do we have an igloo in our garden but we had (home made, gluten free) orange drizzle cake, (home made) mango sorbet and snow sorbet (locally sourced ie the garden) for dessert tonight.

Actually it was only Sam who had the snow.

Quite a lot of snow has fallen this morning but now stopped and has not setteled.  The snow on the ground is slowly thawing so roads should be no worse.  Yesterday I drove the Portsmouth and back.  While it was snowing in the afternoon the traffic was keeping the roads clear. 

I would worry about snow at night coupled with below freezing temperatures.  The gritters have done a good.

That's great Si. Beds available at ours. My arrival home on friday will be delayed slightly by virtue of my work James Bond themed "christmas" party. Was thinking wet suit might be appropriate attire but apparently the boss is on my table so probably should wear something more conventional. Anyway, there will be food available irrespective of my absence/delayed and potentially inebriated arrival

Roads and motorways are all clear around here and it is due to get warmer towards the weekend so should be fine.

Could we have a quick roll call with who are bringing boats, an 18 wants to join us and I would like to check if we have enough room
