If anyone knows a bit about weather charts, this is the latest situation for Sunday. Not looking good

I'm 15 miles from the MK site. It's currently pouring down and forecast to do so all day. Rain predicted to continue right through to Sunday, with the odd respite. It's on grass parking, so likely to be a quagmire. Shame if we lose this one to the weather, it's a nice little season ender.

I’ve had to make a decision today whether to be unavailable or not for work on Sunday, I’ve signed available judging by how the weather is looking.

There is a tarmac public car park there...

Sunday is not looking great but it's September, the ground is hard, the site is on the top of a hill, there is a hard-core drive through the centre of the field and it's not a massive event. I don't foresee a problem with access to or egress from the field.

If the weather was to be more clement I would have risked the little-driven 214 for this, but as it hates wet weather and often fails to start after downpours, looks like it'll be the 420 again. Avid weather watch now underway - I would like to bring the 214 if I'm honest as I could do with some technical expertise on problem solving this little monkey...

I am going to play it by ear as it’s a 2.5 hour drive and the weather forecast for Sunday is shocking as it stands (heavy rain and strong winds).
