Something So Right

Ah right, I don't think we've not travelled this year, but its been a windy year!

I think we didn't travel twice last year, once due to excessive wind and needing some time spent on the boat and the other time due to lack of wind and a 220 mile round trip. I think this was pretty much at the peak of the fuel price and we hadn't pre entered for either event - would we have gone had we pre entered? The first one no, it was clearly going to be too windy and from a dodgy direction for the venue. The second one possibly. I don't think the increased fuel price - even then - by itself is a reason not to travel, in grand scheme off things the increase is insignificant, the actual fuel price however is off putting and if you've not pre entered you can save £100. 

Taking the point above I can have a great time - with largely the same people - at home for much less than £100 if I want to 

All that said I/we probably travel more weekends than most. 2-3 times per month most of the season

We nearly didn't do the Sheppey race this year due to the forecast, we contacted someone we knew at the club who was adamant it'd be fine so we went and had a great time in a banging sea breeze.

It depends on the venue with a lot of these things.
