Ta very much Ray, Boothy and Jim
Howie - even you couldn't have made it rain that day. Twas a great feeling.
Round 2? No, I'll just wander where I fancy now. I always used to look at the weather map the day before and nip off to where the good weather is. If I drew a 2hr drive circle from where I live, there's an awful lot of places I can get to where the rain isn't
So it's Wales, Welsh Borders, Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, Northumberland at a stretch, Pennines, Trough of Bowland....enough for starters.
