Re: Xmas on the fells

Had to abandon the caravan journey, got as far as Keighley to pick it up and made the decision with the Mrs, forecast for sunday is bad too so common sense says leave the bloody thing in storage:(
Going to set off early tomorrow and make the run, hopefully, but no curry, best of luck to everyone else getting up there:)

Re: Xmas on the fells

Bright and dry and sunny in South wales, ideal driving conditions, but I am stuck at home :(

I have decided, if I feel good enough tomorrow, that I am going to get myself a treat... My old latop is on it's way out, so I am going to get a nice new samsung Netbook :D I need a treat, right?

Re: Xmas on the fells

Anyone who needs a bed tonight and/or tomorrow night, mine in the hostel is going spare and I haven't cancelled it... ooops...

Ken, I am looking at a Samsung one as well. Someone on our trek had one and it is well natty and indeed, it has 6-8 hours batterylife!

Will have a look at the pirce at Curry's, so far, PC world has them the cheapest...
18-12-2009, 02:26 PM
Hanneke

Re: Xmas on the fells

Ok, Curry's has the same price as PC world: £259, with a £20 cashback offer after you bought the thing, from Samsung... Seems cheap enough to me for what it is, think I am going to get one tomorrow :)

Mmm! nice! you'd best give him one from me and Mrs C.we live at 320 mtrs and can't get the motor home out, we'll do our best but it's not looking good at the mo' the other thing is with more snow on the cards for Sunday if we do manage to get out we may not get it back and have no wish to leave that somewhere unsafe. If it is we don't make it all the best to everyone, have fun and Merry Christmas.;)

Re: Xmas on the fells

Bloody snow eh, causes havoc.

The only worry i have is that im working tonight..and ive never cycled on snow before.
And i know theres a high chance there'll be plenty of patches of ice hiding somewhere.

I'd best pack my helmet and padded clothing...i reckon im going DOWN!:rolleyes:

That's the one I am looking at... only disadvantage is, it has no optical drive, i.e. I can't play cd's and dvd's when I am away for work, one of the main uses of my laptop while away... it is my portable entertainment centre... and by the time I ad an extrenal cd/dvd drive I may as well buy a proper laptop with it in it... So reviewing my choices now...
