Just got home as roo said brilliant weekend,fantastic lanes even better company,Thanks to doris for leading

I unlike roo didn't get mine back in the same condition it went in,The uj on the prop was a bit iffy before its bloody knackered now,Just getting to the top of dinas mawddy and was started to mist up in the rain so adjusted blower temp next thing instant fogged screen i reckon the matrix might have gone then for some reason i had no indicaters (hoping it was water from matrix)

But the damn thing got me home


All in all another top fog weekend







Oh roo got some bulbs here for ya

[alex]

Well, I'm back, fed, watered and showered

Great weekend, really great. Phil made the routes and gotta give him first mention. From there we turned lazy August camping to wild, wet offroading.

The rain did hold off at the right times, we managed two nights round a campfire, fairly dry. The wet this morining on a certian lane was if anything fitting, to do it in the dry is almost wrong. Then Happy Valley and heavy rain, that had washed a lot and was certainly fun.

I managed to fight off 2 hangovers, the car ran absolutely first class, ready to go again.

Dave, sorry to hear about your Prop, will have a dig around for my old one.

Anyone hear from our tent decorator? followed me down a shortcut never to be seen again. I truned around and couldnt find him, as the BBB has no cb I couldnt raise him.

Also our PDF expert? did you get wet putting yer tent down in the rain?

Hope everyone made it back safe, enjoyed the stay and look forward to the next outing.

[rancidrich]

A big thanks to everyone for a memorable weekend.
I ended up coming home early (got back to the campsite to find my new tent was more like a colander than a shelter still soaking wet even with the heater on full all the way home )
Thanks again and hope to see you all soon at the next event

[jellybaby]

great weekend got a couple of pics. And i got soaked taking the tent down field had turned in to a lake. As for the drive home its 1240 and i've just got in had a little mishap caused bu a numpty in a honda jazz i think resulted in me doing an emergency stop in a bush fence and then a tree managed to get it out nursed it to the A5 and the rad gave in the ghost so looking for parts and a recovery truck

is the car home

[jellybaby]

no siill on the a5 got to sort some recovery out in the morning. the lesson here is join a recovery company or get it with your insurance. looks like there is a lot of damage though
both lights, wing passanger side, grill rad and bumper

[andysd1]

got an AA card if you want to go and get it

[horses45]

might be a good idea things dissapear from the roadside thats one of the reasons i allways have me rac card with me (thats when they say im a member GGGRRRRR)

[nitromotor]

If your involved with an RTA, then your insurance company will sort the recovery.

[cheekychick]

Just woke up

Had a great weekend, shame the weather started with a vengence today. Really enjoyed doing Happy Valley, shame that the views couldnt be seen, but hey, it's a reason to do it again

A million thanks to all that made the weekend what it was, especially Doris for leading the group I was in, and Alex for his guidance on THAT lane.

Harvey was really well behaved, he getting used to the whole tent idea now, he didn't even want to get up this morning, infact he hasnt moved since we got in, he's pooped.

haha, that picture of Colley's just proves what I always knew, I really can sleep anywhere

Jon, as I said you repaid the tugging favours by retrieving my aerial when there was nothing but water on my side of the truck, so anytime mate

Glad everyone got home safe, Jelly, sorry to hear about your car hope you can get it sorted, and Rich, shame about your tent mate, hope Doris and Meryl survive if they stayed

I did take a few pics but the camera is still in the car with everything else, so manyana, manyana.

[colley]

Sorry to hear about your truck Dave
