*gloom* Chimay Weather Thread

Well coming from Brum is bad, as the current forecast is for it to start
raining in the morning, spreading South to Dover and following us to
Belgium, and then following us back on Sunday.

Hopefully they're wrong.

No.

 

Friday looks pigging awful, agreed. Saturday doesn't look too bad.
Can't find a forecast for Sunday.

Oddly, the Beeb thinks Charleroi (nearest Belgian town I can think of)
will be OK.

Accepts UK postcodes and European towns - I was also using Charleroi

Thanks a fucking lot, that's the worst forecast I've seen.

 

Take the LC. Gwan....

Could someone repost the link for the Chimay event website please. Google
isn't helping.

 

Can't - it's in bits undergoing a frame swap. The original frame had a
bash on the headstock and although it went through two MOTs they said
last time it was the last one - the bearings knock quite badly as the
headstock isn't true and judicious use of a heavy object to adjust it
hasn't worked.

I have another frame anyway - just getting it powdercoated - which the
old frame was badly in need of anyway. I'll never use Halfrauds spray
paint again.

Should only take a couple of days to swap it to the new frame when I get
it back - targetting mid August when we might see some sun.

That's why I'm sticking with the BBC's

 

Excellent work. It did look pretty good before. Stick some jpegs somewhere
when you've done (I promise not to be jealous. Honest. Sort of)

I got a frame with a V5, so the old frame will be officially scrapped,
and a new number plate purchased. It will need MOTing.
