... to Pisa for a week, where the weather forecast is for rain tomorrow and heavy rain Thurs with thunder! Should feel right at home then!

Ah! it'll be Pisa-ing down then.

When I visited (several years ago) it was stifling hot - rain may actually be more comfortable ....

If you need to remember things, there's no need to take a list - they've a tower that already has one .....

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Sounds like the time for hols - we're off to the moneypit for a couple of weeks, this time courtesy of Ryanair (boo, hiss...) Off on Saturday for two weeks, so once again wont be available for a forum meet-up...

We're toying with slipping over the border to Spain to check out the Aragon MotoGP - not sure yet if it will happen, but sounds like a neat idea.

Oooh I've just booked a week off work for a hol - taking in the Aragon MotoGP .... found flights so far but struggling to find accommodation at the moment - must get it booked ASAP.

I'll be coming back on Friday 24th .... then as soon as I'm home, the plan is to jump on the bike and head for the swamplands of Norfolk

Ah-ha! We're planning on camping at the circuit, as I can't imagine any other accommodation will be readily available. Unfortunately we don't get back until late Saturday, so Norfolk won't really be viable...

Ah yes camping's an idea but not sure whether bagage allowance will run to camping stuff too I'll have to see

Might see you in Alcaniz then!

Andy, PM me your mobile number and we'll make contact. We're thinking about getting to the circuit on Thursday, buying our tickets and nailing a camping spot (there's onsite camping, but I bet it goes REALLY quickly).

It looks a fantastic circuit, and from what I've heard there's lots of elevation changes and even a Corkscrew style turn...

Will do Graham .... though my lad has firmly ruled out camping (kids these days :smt009 ).

We wouldn't arrive in Spain untl the Friday and not sure where we'll be yet - likely that I'll end up driving in on Saturday and Sunday from a fair distance.

Are tickets available on the gate? I've found websites you can buy them from but not seen anything to say whether they can be bought on the day.

Right back to 'tinterweb to look for places to stay ....
