We are set to visit a club site on Saturday when the weather forecast is predicting 50mph to 60 mph winds. Hubby is excellent at towing and done if for 2 years now but it did prompt a discussion of how windy does it need to be to think that towing is not sensible or safe? Is 50mph winds safe? anyone have any ideas or advice?

The 'like' only pushes it up Latest Activity but a post brings it up the pages of threads so it appears on the forum front page. If folk didn’t post, it would stay buried. The moral is to stay shtum👍🏻

My lips are sealed but it wouldn’t be the first time, Rocky.

You know the scam - like a post thus bringing it to notice in Latest Activity then, when someone bites and posts to keep it alive in the current pages, remove the like so all trace of the instigator is lost. Why folk play those daft games beats me🤷🏻‍♂️
