Far too warm for him!

All looking good.

The only fly in the ointment on the latest run is that big blob of rain over Wales on the Friday.  It wouldn't take much for that to track further south, as per 2011.

I'm coming on easyjet, but I'm still bringing a cagoule.

Travelling in a Vauxhall Astra, enough gear for an Everest expedition, a trek through the Amazon rainforest and a beautiful sunny Pilton weekend😉😊

Treat yourself to the Priority for the extra carry on space and bring some wet weather footwear. Just for laugh obviously!

Absolutely. If you pack for only sun, then it'll definitely be wet! 😅

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Also, coming on Ryanair. Will be wearing walking boots, with trainers in the carry on... Gonna throw in an extra lighter pair of shorts in though now as it looks like it's gonna be lovely weather 🤞

Don't want to get too excited but the low to mid twenties looks lovely on the last run.

Double the amount of undies, unless you're going inside out, back to front?

I'm no expert, but I would agree that all three of those activities are exactly the same in effort, organisation, and resource requirement 😅

You live in Edinburgh right? Could well be mine. I’m down to Bristol on the 21:30 and back Monday 20:45

Double the amount of undies? What are you doing to your underwear? 🤯

I'd say this tends to be best short range(1-4 days). So next week this would hold more sway for me.

Bit warm... but with the potentual of 26/27° as a possibility - I'd take that now.

Was due to be on an earlier flight home but it got cancelled so now on that 8.45. Would sooner be home much earlier.

[Phoenix Girl]

Well isn’t this all lovely. I’m leaving on Monday so let that be a wrap please.

[Alvoram]

To be honest, I don't like the look of that latest GFS run, we're pulling that low from the Atlantic closer on Thursday and Friday, and whilst there's technically very little rain on site, it's extremely close by on several days... Also, no finger. 

It's tight now, if that low moves any closer, it won't be nearly is happy in here, I'm a little nervous now. 😕

And there we go.

We got complacent, 6+ good runs had us all ditching our wellies.

Yeah exact same! I’ll try pick you out in the queue. Haha. I’m gonna find a leisure centre or gym in Bristol to have a shower and freshen up during the day.

I'm glad someone else packs undies like they're planning on pooping themselves everyday.

Go commando. No undies needed! This is the way.

the cancellation of that earlier flight was a bit of a kick in the tender place wasn't it? But maybe a bit of a 1st world problem...straight back to work on Tuesday now feels a foolish move!
