just checked my holiday. I have 27th to the 29th booked, so i will be leaving on the tuesday evening.

What was the concensus re train or car?

that photo is revolting

Maybe I’m being too impatient!

“The DSA surveyed people who had just passed their test and came up with the following which may be of interest.

Remember these are averages and everyone is different.

Average time taken to learn in months: female = 14.6 male = 12.0.

Average hours with Advanced Driving Instructor: female 51.9 hrs male 36.2 hrs.

Average private practice: female/ male both just over 32 hrs”

Don’t you mean bellies?
Where did you dredge that photo out from?

Check out how many people are on this motorbike!

As I said, you’ve never really been sailing until you’re hove to in the Bristol Channel main shipping lane at night in a Gale force 17 wind with no lights on because the drunken skipper sheltering below wants to conserve battery power and you’re alone on deck when a massive oil tanker rears out of nowhere and shines its spotlight on you and sounds an alarmingly loud horn … blah …blah … blah.

The fact is, if there’s so much as a tremor of wind when I’m afloat, I’m in the queue for being helicoptered out.
