Why not go to the Land Rover 60th Birthday do at Gaydon just off the M40 if the weather is nice. Plenty of good hotels and B&B's around the area but they may all be booked up by now as the event is on this weekend. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

is that not this weekend Tim ??

I am planning on going away next weekend to avoid the bank holiday madness and having friday and monday off work (the joys of having your own business )

Hate the bank holiday traffic 08MY Range Rover Sport TDV6 Java black with black leather

Ahhhh yes so it is! So I have another suggestion!
Get yourself and family up to Lochgilphead on Saturday 10th and or Sunday 11th about 9:30/10 and come and drive the Argyll Forrest with us! I think Jasperoony and Mrs Jasperoony are coming along, but not in their RRS. Like me they will be in their Defender90. You don't have to take the RRS off the Forest trails and into the wilds as there will be a few of us there with extra seats in their 90's to carry some passengers A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

decided and booked the isle of man ferry

Struggled finding a good hotel as they were all booked for the saturday night and mostly by the royal bank of scotland

Then got a decent 4 star right on douglas front (sefton hotel) and took the last room to be told there was the RBS International Manx Rally taking place from friday evening to saturday evening hence the bookings

Did not know this when deciding or booking but am looking forward to it now  08MY Range Rover Sport TDV6 Java black with black leather

I went to www.langdale.co.uk 4 times and it is a brilliant place - very luxurious lodge.

Langdales are nice... but its sooooo expensive ! £1,600 is twice the price per week of a better quality house in Ambleside with more space, your own private riverside garden, easier private parking, very easy access to the great range of shops, pubs, restaurants and cinema of the town and much lovelier owners.....

Where do I know Ambleside from?  

Went to the isle of man and had a great weekend

Got pulled by an unmarked focus ST coming over the mountain stage of the TT course cos i was caning the RRS like i stole it he said . I pointed out there was no national speed limit but he retaliated with the fact i was cutting the corners when there was nothing coming and i was not wearing my seatbelt

£40 fine and a ticking off and he let me go

Had a brill weekend though all in all and the crossing was quite good thank god.

Took some pics of the car in some nice poses which i will upload later.

They must have some chuckles, the IoM police.... but then I expect they see some big "miscalculations" too  

Very true S

Saw some nasty holes in the dry stone walls in a couple of places too
