Guest Gareth Rankin Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 21st April Longtown not on the rpra list28th Longtown not on the rpra list5th May Appleby not on the rpra list12th Lancaster replace with Carnforth19th Leyland access is locked and will need to be arranged26th Stafford no water or toilets on site2nd June Woolston Yearling fine9th Cheltenham no toilet on site 16th Dorchester not on rpra list replace with poole?23rd Leyland30th Appleby7th July Sartilly not on rpra list replace with st malo? just thought i would help out all those guys who came up with a west route 12 out the 17 liberations that Lanarkshire had in 2011 whislt going east didnt have running water for the doos on site. The problem is having 2 artics means you are restricted to the amount of lib sites that we can use but where there is a will there's a way and it is easily overcome. Also the RPRA list is helpful but doesnt mean you cant have liberations elsewhere, Otterburn, Sedgefield and Thirsk spring to mind. Don't think you will get another meeting called as even fanciers that i know who are pro east are willing to give the west another go as they realise that the east isn't a route that is kind to Lanarkshire as it once was. Lanarkshire can't run any more from its natural flight path of the west route, and the pests in the sky will have to be dealt with.

Every other fed has the same problem.

Henrik Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 They don't carry water on route so i have been told but have to go looking for water when they get thereWouldnt think that is the case Frank, most transporters are filled up before they leave and would only need refilled after a holdover jmo
