Plans for the Virtual Christmas Sleigh Ride/Beano are being cobbled together. As it's a Christmas Day event, I'd suggest 25th December would be a good day for it?tchgrin
To pull the sleigh, so far I've managed to enlist Paxo and Stuffing, two chickens from next door, they desperately don't want to be next door on Christmas Daytchhmmroastchicken but I do feel a few more little beasties would be beneficial, so if you know of any who wouldn't mind being harnessed up to do a bit of pulling, please bring them along (or perhaps you'd like to give it a go yourself)?

Elves are being difficult to enlist. None of them will work on a minimum wage and are demanding triple wages (what with it being Christmas). Any suggestions here? tchhmm

Shall we break the journey up into sections? Perhaps starting at Inverness c12.00am, stopping off at a hostelry 12.15pm (followed by a communal wee stop (after around 5 miles - c12.18pm)? Using this criteria throughout, I reckon we'd hit Lands End at around 11.00pm 30th December, just in time for New Years Eve celebrationstchwink.

These are just my thoughts to what I hope will be the beginning of a madcap Christmas Day journey, that only the likes of us GN'rs can achieve, all suggestions (mostly) gratefully receivedtchgrin

EVERYONE'S WELCOME TO JOIN IN AT ANYTIME. WE'LL BE PICKING UP THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THROUGHOUT THE DAY...COME AND JOIN USwine

Just read this today, looks like you all had a madcap day. I am off to change my pants, i haven't laughed so much in ages. Commiserations to those who didn't manage to join the adventure, and to those recovering from it (grin)

Nighty night Boehm, I was as good as on my own with a silent, Moody partner who arose at 2pm. Well, we've survived and can look forward to the shops 're opening (0r something!!)

Oh well... time to call it a day I suppose.
Thank you to those who did join in. I guess it's a good thing not many GN'rs came along, cos it must mean I'm the only one that's spent the day on my own, and doing this has kept me sane. Sad innit!

Plenty of room left, I think they're all to busy stuffing their faces or had to much wine already
