I'm leaving mine at 10:30 that morning .. so its a fat lot of good them cancelling it at 12 as i'll be there by then!!! Still, if its cancelled, i'm syphoning the commodore's petrol tank, and may as well stay in the area as my travelodge is booked and uncancelable! |

Slightly disappointed at that but by the looks of that photo there is over a foot of snow in Uppingham.. guessing that its just as bad there. I really doubt they will cancel it, probably postpone to the next weekend. The road conditions around here aren't great. anyone coming from the uppingham direction would be screwed if its anything like today. The big dip in the a6003 just before turning off the parrelel rutland water has been so icey cars have really been struggling to get up that hill in both directions.. so boats with trailors would stand little chance! Its bad enough in Uppingham, seen plenty of cars sliding round today. Our house chef slid off the road between Rockingham/Corby and Uppingham today which meant we got no breakfast apart from cereal!!

Guys, you cant allow for the weather, but i symphosise with people like Olly who book uncancellable hotels, due to a mesaage posted by the club saying the Tiger will run whatever the weather. We could do with some rain tonight to wash the snow away! Gutted, and i was looking forward to buying a beer with the £10 i was going to win from villan!! |

This is the bit which has been f**ck*d off the most! They will run it whatever the weather, and then say they are thinking about canceling it, and to top it all off their deciding this the DAY BEFORE the event, after we've all booked hotels, paid our entry, etc etc, AND to top it all off, my boats already up there so going to have to go up there whether the weather is good or not

I am about an hour south of Rutland and would be going up the A1 to get there. It very much looks like it is going to snow again very soon and today's snow is crisping up into ice, not melting away.
I know Chris is much closer than me. If it's bad I'll be thinking twice about risking my boat on the roads, but I'd be happy to crew for anyone happy enough to risk theirs!  Edited by winging it |

Looks like another dump coming tonight, and not warming much to thaw it before next week. It doesn't look hopeful
