Please read this thread Yorkshire Belle pleasure boat - Passenger injured by a drone to be aware of the need to keep separation between water users and drones. I’m not asking for comments or discussion, ust letting you know that it can get busy in the narrow channel of the harbour entrance.

Hi @barrierglide, it looks as though you’re quite new here 
Why not nip over to the Introductions category to say hello and tell us a bit about yourself

Alas it’s my turn for Night Shifts this week, but if I can tumble out of bed and pour myself a ‘cup of ambition’ a la Dolly style in good time I’ll be there.

Much of southern and central England will experience a heatwave this week, with temperatures likely to peak around 36°C on Thursday for some. - Met Office
Not quite so hot for us- probably just north of 30.
Be prepared for heat, dehydration and a lot of UV!
I’m seeing mid 20’s for our meet area vs mid 35’s for my area.
I’ld be down south regardless ;p
Lots of sun tho so, yup. Sunscreen n hat time.
5 different forecasts = 5 differrent temps
At 5pm .. min = 25℃, max = 31℃
So - it will either be below 25 or above 31.
Here’s hoping for mid 20’s please.
One does not like the heat… ;p

I’ll get heavily told off when I get home but I’m seriously thinking about leaving Maddie at home in the shade.
Too long for Sophie .. an extra hour each way for me.
Well .. 40 mins theoretically ..
I guess you have the potential for a quick nip home to check on her?
Quick being a relative term considering your most epic chariot ;p
I’ld expect groups of small hoomans so any off lead action might be fun
Ma voiture est tres vite! And there is a 30 mile an hour limit on the island.
My journeys get delayed by people asking me questions about the car, not my driving 
She’s perfectly happy on her own, has the run of the house exceptmy bedroom and plenty of shade in the garden. But, although she is a softie, people see a Rottweiler and start to freak

Ah oui ;p
Yeah, a most gentle lady.
How is she with undisciplined snot nosed brats?
How is she with undisciplined snot nosed brats?
Good, although she has a tendency to go and do her own thing rather than go up to people and demand attention. However, she is good at working out who is scared of dogs and making a point of bouncing around them.

Did we decide on a toal spot to aim for?
Third one down depending on the number of gongoozlers?
Or would that be drongoozlers ;p
Pub terrace of course ! Guiness Zero for the drivers

Thing with making a hard and fast decison on a meeting / TOAL spot is that it may be occupird by a different group of people
Horse riders looking to take their beasts out on the wimmer or motorcyclists down for the Thursday evening meet,
The car park is linear, single row either side and access down the middle. And a rip off - no marked spaces, gravel surface, potholes, no CCTV.
So it’s basically come and find me and we will TOAL from wherever we can
