Hello folks,
We will be on holiday from 1st August 2015 until 18th August 2015 inc.
The forum and website will keep running but support and order processing may be delayed over this period, depending on if we can get an internet connection whilst we're camping.
Thanks in advance for your understanding [tup]

We promise to mind the store while you are out in the wilderness!
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]
P.S. I assume you've got the Land Rover ready for duty?
-
Have a great vacation! And try to stay away from the interweb, or at least your compiler! :P [cheer]
-
Enjoy your holiday Stu.
-
Enjoy the camping, Stu! Don't forget the matches, the can opener and the beer.

Speaking of summer holiday, I just got back from my annual hike. For what it's worth, this year I completed hiking the entire 2189 miles of the Appalachian Trail section by section over 35 years. Didn't break any speed records, to say the least.
-
Michael that is brilliant. Good on you mate!
-
Wow! ? That's quite an accomplishment. Congratulations! We need a cake cutting celebration!

You've followed through on something I've frequently thought about but never acted on. Many congrats! Out of curiosity, did you start there in Georgia's Springer Mountain and systematically do a section each year (in order) all the way to Katahdin Mountain? Or did you do random sections at a time based on current weather or some other criterion?
-
Congratulations! [cheer] [tup] Accomplishing long term goals have a special reward seldom experienced by most people! Nor do I think 'speed' would have enhanced your experiences!
I only wonder why you didn't take a short detour while in Tennessee to come by for a visit to our humble abode not far from the Mighty Muddy! After all, we're only on the opposite end of the State! [lol] I can only assume you did that section of the trail before you knew where I live...
I've never seen the Trail, however, I have read about it! :-[

My apologies for the slow response to all the kind congratulatory notes! Thank you all very much. (Family came in from out of town - full house!)

I began the hike in Georgia and hiked consecutively (first step of a hike always started from the last step of the previous hike) to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Then, because the northern end of the trail is seriously more difficult and I wasn't getting any younger, I jumped up to Maine and hiked back to Harpers Ferry, also, consecutive sections. Over the years I had multiple hiking partners accompanying me, mostly family members, but, as it turns out, I solo hiked nearly a third of it.

Good question - hmm, maybe we need sister trail, Hike the Mississippi River!
-
...maybe we need sister trail, Hike the Mississippi River!
I prefer the Natchez Trace, it's a paved road... for cars! I dare say hiking the Mighty Muddy is exactly why the Trace was created! ;)
Hiking is not something I'd recommend for a few months. I'd like to wait until the Heat Index is lower than the triple digits we've had for the past few weeks! [sweat2]

Am with you on that! Am planning a fall trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway - driving, not hiking.
-
That will be a great trip, but you'll miss <this fantastic, beautiful. and engineering marvel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natchez_Trace_Parkway_Bridge)> on the Trace! Our Grandkids used to live just a bit south and east of this bridge and we got to see it in many different weather conditions!

Dear Stu and WeatherCat vacationers . . . .
August 1st is closing in fast, so I'd better offer best wishes quickly!
Have a great vacation Stu!! [tup]

Lol, very funny :)

Oops! My bad, I thought you'd already left when you made the post a couple of weeks ago! I've been collecting, archiving, and writing all my questions and planned on dumping them on you any day now!!! Just let me know where I can reach you when you're in the most restfull place on the vacation and I can bring you back to the "daily grind" very quickly! You are welcome! [goofy]
On second thought, just have a great time and don't worry about a thing! Enjoy a well-earned vacation! [tup] Just be careful driving around on the Continent, they use the wrong side of the road, you know! [rolleyes2] [lol]
-
We did have a great time thanks! Even better, the weather cooperated as well - only got two days rain!

Howdy Stu and WeatherCat welcome wagon, . . . (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/welcomewagon.gif)
Welcome back Stu! [tup]

Any highlights? Did the Rover and caravan perform well? (http://www.canebas.org/WeatherCat/Forum_support_documents/Custom_emoticons/travel-trailer-smiley.gif)
Any grand Guinness discoveries? . . . [beer]
Hope that returning to work isn't too much of a rude awakening!
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]

Thanks Edouard - yes, the Rover performed perfectly - two thousand miles in two weeks without missing a beat (probably down to the vast sums of money spent on new parts this year :) ) at an average of 21 MPG (which is pretty good towing a 1.5 tonne 'van).
Found some really good Guinness in North Yorkshire (along with some good cheese obviously), fair-to-middling on the south coast, but again pretty good in Devon (and Cornwall) :)
-
"Devon" means "clotted cream" to my wife! [cheer] I'll take the scones, with or without the jam! [rolleyes2]

Glad the Rover continues to serve you so well! GM sure made a huge mistake in just abandoning that Buick and Pontiac engine and selling the molds to Land Rover. I'm not surprised that GM tried to buy it back!

Oh well, I suppose you can't find great Guinness everywhere, otherwise you would have no reason to leave home! ;D
Glad you had a great time [tup], but also glad to you have back on the forum! [bounce]
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]

Hmm, I always thought a Guiness was a Guiness. Didn't know there was good Guiness and not so good. Shows I've got a lot to learn.
