Verena, the rack v pack thing is a long-running good-natured(?) debate on here. Always good value for a laugh/wind-up.

Re: Am I right in thinking that ....
Agreed. I'm as cheesed off as anyone about having to bivvy in my garden yet again in March. Actually I'm not. It is what it is until it's not. 23:59 April 12th, I'm outta here. Or can we commence a bivvy at 00:01 April 12th I wonder? Noooooooo, don't start it all off again!!!!

Re: Am I right in thinking that ....
I'm not going to plan anything until 00:01 on 12th April, then if the starting gate still opens on that date I'll jump on a train somewhere that very morning. If it doesn't I'll keep waiting. No point wasting any brain power on it.
