Hi just joined you all today - ditto Nippit - my visa should be delivered to Classic Tours and then to me at Heathrow on Thursday so won't know until then if we'll be going anywhere. Must be positive and I'm sure all will be ok. So much to do so not much cycling going on now.

hi to the newcomers, will meet you in India no doubt.

Fantastic news about the visa's Ali and Stef.

Bag, I am taking my normal extendable suitcase, it's not a solid one so should be ok.

Ann- weight would be ok but I only have 20kg on the BMI flight, then again worse case scenario I pay for the excess baggage on that flight.

Sorry, have ditched the hairdryer but will be taking the straightners.

Anyone heard from Jeanette?

Welcome newbies!!! Gosh, this thread has gone mad today! Its taken me ages to read all the postings, emails, etc etc as well as Facebook. Hope my lot aren't expecting tea tonight!

Have been out in the rain today and got VERY muddy, but feel good for it. Maybe have a ride out tomorrow and then thats it.

Fab news about Visas Ali and Steph. Rajasthan here we come! Look out!

Really REALLY excited now!

Hi Valerie,

Think you have sent the bad weather down here! We g=have had it lovely until yesterday, when the snow came and now rain!

Just a thought, you won't need your passport as ID to fly from "up north" to Heathrow will you?

If you haven't guessed, I am the group worrier!!!!

Looking forward to meeting you on Thursday. If I am right, I think I have read your web page, have you done a W4W event before?

Sarah x

Well I was just going to have a quick look on forum but I've been sat here ages - there are so many messages!!!!

Ali - I'm so pleased your visa has arrived. I was awake at 2.30 this morning thinking about what to take and also about your visa!!!
Hopefully I'll sleep better tonight.

I still haven't put anything in my bag yet - I'm too scared to after reading what everyones said, I've convinced myself I don't have much stuff but I think that may not be the case.
3 more sleeps to go!!!

PACKED MY BAG!!! it weighs in at 23kg!! hope thats ok I know that A4C said 20 but Virgin says 23, any way its very heavy! and that was after I took out half my snack bars, saddle,(which I have fitted in the hand luggage), some clothes and some toiletries! Will definately need a taxi to Paddington from Euston, no way we will manage on the tube with that weight!

Now I just want to go!!!

Okey dokey. I was thinking along similar lines. Wilko's had some colouring books in for only 25p so i thought I would get some of those and some crayons.

Been awake since 4am.......
