Electric outboards have a top speed of around 2 - 5 mph, and we have tried sticking some more jellies in at scouts once when we were in one...

Long range forcast as follows from the 26th of August

Most parts will be cloudy on Tuesday with outbreaks of rain. The rain being heaviest and most persistent in the north and west where it is also expected to be windy. The rain should be lighter and more patchy in the south and east. The northwest is likely to remain unsettled on Wednesday, but most other parts should be dry with some sunshine. Similar weather is expected at the end of next week and over the weekend with the Northwest being unsettled but mainly fine weather in the south and east. Temperatures will be mainly near average, perhaps warm in the southeast. A good deal of fine and warm weather is likely for the following week, although more unsettled weather in the northwest may spread to some western parts later.

See how good I am to you lot even arranging fine weather I HOPE

I have taken the liberty of starting a new thread for the Chit Chat surrounding the Llanberis Mayhem event.

This is to prevent the main detail of the event, and the things people need to know, being lost in the noise.

So chatting about who is brining the sandwiches can be on this Chit Chat thread.

This thread will be deleted soon after the event.

Will it be signposted when you get close? Or can't you miss it as you ride thru Llanberis.

It can be rather difficult to mapread and still concentrate on the road when you are by yourself and riding a m/bike. I don't have satnav fitted  (yet).

Drive south on the main road until you pass the lake on LHS ( you do not need to go into village). Just past the end of the lake you take the left turn for the National Slate Museum. At the end of this road turn left into the museum and park. Make for the lakeside, there should be some Mayhem signs.

Correct. I got my R and L mixed up, but I have now ammended my post above. Sorry for the confusion.


You will pass the laybye and the carpark for the lake, then take the first road on the left. It has bus shelters on the corner. Drive past the first carpark.

Then go all the way to the end of the road and turn left into the museum, and use the car park adjacent to the museum and lake.

Oh its only 480 mile return for me, don't worry Bill D203 when not running you can have a poke around some of the other styles of boats that will be there--that should give you a good laugh {-)
And just in case my springer goes awol, I thought I had better bring my own rescue boat-----springer size of course {-)
