If you are interested we have a set that we bought that don't fit our car, it is a Titanium but it also has the sport pack on it too.
Tammygirl - I wish we'd seen your post three hours ago. Thank you for the offer but we've struck a deal with the service manager where we're buying the car from and for a reduced price they're fitting rear mud flaps before we pick the car up on Saturday. The deal also involves chocolate M&S biscuits! 😊
We're up in Northumberland in September so we'll need them.

Last night away this tour for us. We are on a lovely CL in Richmond, having travelled as far up as Scottish Borders, lots of Northumberland, Hadrian's Wall across to Brampton, then home across North Pennines AONB, Teesdale and finally back into Yorkshire! Had some lovely weather, bit of rain last couple of days, but seen some great places, lots of history and some friendly folks!

Sorry to hear your bad news, B2 & WN, and about the your dog too, H&T. Hope that he soon recovers.
Glad that both you, OP and WN have found spaces on CLs in the areas you want to visit.
Good to hear that your builders have completed their work, brue. Wish I could say the same about those that have been working next door to us . By the time we get home they will have been building an extension and other goundwork for the last 5 months, and I very much doubt that they'll be anywhere near complete then.
This is our last night on a CL near Nottingham before we head up to one of our favourite sites at Old Brampton.

Another job completed today at the new house.....waste disposal unit successfully installed, just the tidying up to do now.
DD and OH have been busy writing lists of what has to be done and in what order. The all important bath has now been chosen and will be ordered next week, along with taps. It will go in the main en suite so there will be major surgery required as a door has to be moved and reversed. Some surgery too in the main bedroom and Callum's bedroom, a plasterer will be needed, then the painting can start. Wallpaper on one wall has also been mentioned.
DD is getting a bit carried away and is now considering replacing some of the white painted skirtings etc with oak ones. The hall and living rooms are all finished in oak, but the bedrooms are white painted softwood. She is investigating the costs, that may put her off!
Outside, she needs a TV aerial put up, so I will need to dust off my long ladders.
I cannot see any prospect of getting away anytime soon, then we have my sister coming for 2 weeks in October, so I doubt now that we will be able to fit in any more trips this year. It will be Christmas before we know it! The year has really flown by.

No problem , OH can still send them back to supplier. Couldn't manage the choc biscuits though as OH would eat those hope everything goes ok on Saturday.
NTH might be asking for your help Re a CL near Loughborough in a couple of weeks (or anyone else) We are taking the bikes to 50 cycles for a service and need to find a site for a night or two. I've ear marked a few so will post later once we have a firm date. If you don't mind of course.
TDA sounds like you had a good trip.

Catching up on what you've all been doing, it's dull and wet in Somerset. We saw son and grandson off at 6am this morning for a week in the north, holiday and house hunting, meeting up with DIL when they get there. I shall miss them such a lot when they go but oh boy am I tired!!
The M5 was virtually closed yesterday (accident) when we visited my Mum so had to make another long detour on return.
What am I doing today, nothing much, just clearing up and cleaning.
