Looking at that it kinda makes me feel good bout having swine flu and being confined to barracks for the next god knows how long

Perce,

With the long range forcast not looking too good, would the event be even considered for and god forbid it, cancellation!!!

I dont think we will get last years weather but maybe 2007 when it was, a bit wet!!

I'd still have a go at them sections though, water or not!!!

Such a shame I couldn't get there this year!

Marking out in the discovery?

Seriously hope the weather picks up a bit, its raining here in France too.

The two accidents from the 2007 Trial feature in this episode, good that it gets it's first airing on the BBC when we're trying to mark out in very similar weather.

t'was on bbc one last nite we were sat watching it our lass kept saying "trials" everytime the bloke said motorcross event! i'd have gone mad if she'd cut my boot off like

4 and a half inches of rain in your neck of the woods yesterday, not surprised it's that wet.

I was going to bring my bike on Friday, shall I bring my canoe instead?

Underbridge on Saturday

Summer Lodge on Saturday, just about rideable

Underbridge on Sunday

The moors are heavily drained these days & don't retain the water like a big sponge, so beck levels rise & fall rapidly. A downside to this is that all the kickers etc under the waterfalls get blown out so we've probably spent more time filling holes than scrubbing which we normally do. Hopefully everything should be good for the weekend.

No matter what the rivers are like, i'm looking forward to it! it's all good fun isn't it?!
