Safe journey to everyone involved in the "Buster relay"   I'm sure Buster will be taking it all in his stride as I'm sure he will have his guardian angel "Jameson" traveling with him.  :Luv2:

Me & OH would have loved to do part of the journey but it was quicker bypassing the M1 (our area) and going the direction you are.  Anyway really glad you've got this sorted and very best of luck all!

Nicky can definitely do Blackpool to the first stop tomorrow - contact details via PM please, Carol. I'll pass them on to Nicky and you can talk directly to the Blackpool transport that way. :)

Just to let you know I've not gone to ground.  I'm still waiting to hear whether we have transport from Blackpool to nearer me or whether I have to collect then when I know that I can finalise things with Karen for the handover.

As said before im going from coventry to aylesbury tomorrow to visit family but i dont mind coming up first to help carol shorten her journey as she will have to go up to come down. So i can go up first but would it be possible for the next leg to meet nearer aylesbury on m40 than m25.
Also what is he being transported in is he staying in one carrier or are we swopping him at stops. Just wondered because im now doing it on route to visiting family i will have my family with me and the car is full so i would need him to be able to fit on my lap in carrier (husband driving).Im sure my carrier would but wasnt sure how he was coming. oh and does anyone have any idea of the times yet as i have already had sister in law on phone this morning asking when we are coming.
