    I’ve always wanted to do this route with you but somehow it’s jinxed :ymsigh: .

    My ride’s gone in to sort out a job which wasn’t done properly and the way my insurance firm works, I am sceptical if I will have it ready by the weekend.

    Hello Duncan;

    I would like to join you on this trip if possible, but could not find the “register for trip” prompt, just the “thank the author” one!
    Any chance?

    Hi Elie, don’t worry, the fewbie drive option was recently added to the site and the button was not changed. It should now be corrected but as long as you see your name then you are registered.

    My apologies for that and

    The site had refreshed itself and that took out some of the modifications. I am investigating as why that happened. It’s fixed now.
