I would be up for this, especially if it's Wednesday night.

How about the Blue Bowl by Chew Lakes? Usually a lot quieter midweek, and unlike Will I can be a good meet organiser and ring ahead and book. (Only kidding Will )

Yep, I'm a deffinate on this one, Bit of driving at Chew Lakes maybe?

Don't really mind, but if possible a post code etc would be great so I can find it

(plus estimate travel time)

Bit of driving is fine too

I can't do a postcode search because of internet restrictions at the moment. Pub is called the Blue Bowl and is near the village of chew magna. It is a VERY small place, so any postcode you can get your hands on will be fairly accurate travel time.

Ok will have a go, definitely Wednesday night then?

Where are you from? It's on the Bath / Bristol road about 10 minutes from Burrington Combe.

Bracknell or Abingdon depending on where I end up leaving from

OK, weds night is definite then!

Blue Bowl details are:

The Blue Bowl, Bristol Road, West Harptree, Bristol, bs40 6hj

I won't bother phoning up, as they will be quiet on a Weds night. I propose to meet there at 7.30pm for some eating, then perhaps a drive out to the lakes.

Will try to get there at that time, traffic permitting - it's a little tricky to know as the roads will not allow the kinda speeds we were travelling at on Saturday, that's for sure

Welcome to the Blue Bowl Online

if this is helpfull thats the pubs website

but sorry I cant make this one :(

Thanks, it is

Everyone still on for 7.30pm? As far as I can tell the following people are coming

1) Meeee

2) WW

3) Imcarm

4) Emily

5) H4rri (a possible?)

I am trying to get there at that time. If possible can you drop me a PM with mobile number, will PM mine back, so if I run a bit late or get lost I can get in touch?

Haven't got any mobiles from any of you atm, so might be useful

Meeting up for lunch with someone at the office so will be coming from Bracknell, trying to get in early so I can leave early enough, got Jason's mobi but no-one else as yet :P

We'll see eating @ 8pm.

Then a bit of night time driving. I have my camcorder just in case.

ooh ooh ooh.

Is this tonight??

Ohh. I might be up for it!

Am i welcome?

My car is absolutly minging right now, been living in it for the last 2 weeks.

Not sure how much night time driving I will be able to do, my Xenons are adjusted FAR too low atm, will have the laptop & VAGCOM in case someone knows how to adjust them a tad on the night, will probably need to make my way back at 11ish at the very latest as got to get up for APS visit at about 730

Don't Xenons have the dashboard adjustment wheel? Or are yours at the limit?

Nope it's fully automatic, it's got a sensor on the rear (underneath) the car :P

To adjust Xenons you put them in maintenance mode, then tweak the height, then take it out of maintenance mode (or equivalent), it will know the correct level then and auto-level from there

It's great once set up but particularly bad when it's not set up right

Nope it's fully automatic, it's got a sensor on the rear (underneath) the car :P

So if they are somehow set wrong, they automatically remain that way. Deflating the rear tyres is not an option then.

That's pretty much it yep

That's pretty much it yep

Anyway, it shouldn't matter this evening. It's the Friends of the Earth Bristol Blackout day. We should be driving round without any lights.

- but don't forget we might be causing our own blackouts with the soot from Jason's + mine (if I end up having to fill up at BP again )

It might be worth driving through the 'gorge' on a pre-progress-making roundtrip to get shot of rocks though, I still havent got my sump guard back on and I don't want to be the next 'Si' and have to get another engine :P

Quite. Nobody wants to rock and not roll.
