lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Seems to be starting up where I've been going - didn't notice any sign of it till today, and the one we got didn't seem to be too bad off. It's a bloody shame tho, I was planning on having a bit of fun up there over the next few months. If it sets in there won't be much point. Quote Link to post
