Are you planning on eating at the pub?

I wasn't planning on eating, just a pint and a chat for me, however the weather forcast is looking grim.
Since I've owned my buggy its not been out in bad weather, I'd love to meet you guys but I'll have to cry off if it raining.
Fingers crossed it won't come to that.

I'll post on here Thursday evening my intention.

You'll have to join the SDBC - they don't come out either if there's a cloud in the sky ;)

Just checked the forecast for Ipswich and Dereham Friday and looks fine to me.

It's only water and a 10% chance of rain, that's 90% chance dry.

You need to be a glass half full person to have a buggy

Hudge, guess you are working Friday?

Hi Dave, I've been out in my buggy this morning, looked threatening but no rain, had a great time cruising the single track roads around Sandringham, Sedgford and Ringstead. Lovely part of the world to live in.
See you Friday  ;-)up

I'm looking forward to it. Mine doesn't go outg in the rain because I've got to fix the wipers lol, but even then I don't think it'll go out in the wet. I'm having a mini pub crawl as in going to my local for breakfast, so lunch may not be on the cards, I'll see when I get there.

See you there guys, drive should dry the buggy out nicely.

We will be there a bit earlier as I cant go without food for more than 20 minutes so a 2 hour drive will have me ready to eat.

I'll probably get there early too as I'm going to Fakenham to pick something up. I'll be cutting across from Guist, so not sure how long it will take to get there.

Hi Gaz, Dave and Lyn, nice to have met you today, sorry the weather turned wet, although it's been a nice babtism for both mine and Gaz's buggy's.
What this " keep above 30 mph and you'll keep dry" I was doing 55mph still getting rained on, mined you this Norfolk rain is heavy.
Can't wait to see picture proof of our buggy's having been rained on.
Look forward to our next meet,

Leigh

Well that is good news, having buggy friends make buggy driving more fun. ;-)up the rain you have to live with at times a baseball cap keeps it out of the eyes and a squeegee for wiping the inside of the screen every so often.

We did mean 30 forward not in reverse, mind you it was blowing a gale on the way home, maybe you just couldn't outrun it.
Been home 1/2 hour, and starting to warm up

Good to see you both, pictorial proof for those who don't believe it to follow that BUGGIES DONT DISSOLVE IN RAIN

It was great meeting you all, just a shame the sun didn`t stay with us. The cold and wet hasn`t put me off, and I think I`ll be getting some waterproofs for next time lol.

Hi Kevin, there has been an increase with new local buggy members recently, hopefully we can all get together for a general meet one day.

I would imaging weekend meets would be more suitable for most people.  We'll have to keep an eye on the forecast and organise another impromptu meet very soon.

I'm sure Gaz would always be up for it??  ;-)up
