it was a fun day out and me and pop's enjoyed every minute of it

thanx to phil, alex and drift

[Drift]

It was a great day, we did a few tame but interesting lanes and looking forward to doing them when there is no mist as the views would have been fantastic
Quite a few very tight and scratchy lanes
Then later it got more muddy and the last was a gem of a lane

All thanks to everyone today I had a great day and as ever Spence was a star with the gates and sneaking up and frightening me each time, oh and his cakes, Ta Spence

Right Alex got lucky









Then Simo got stuck
Alex said on the cb "Mind that ditch on your left" 4 seconds later bump Simo was in the ditch on the left you twonk at least your dad loved it

Hi All
Pleased you had a great day out

Yup, was a good day alright.

Was widdling down with rain in the morning. Couldnt see more then a couple of hundred feet in places as there was plenty of mist.

It started to clear up about 2pm/3pm though. Was quite humid as well I thought.by the time we finished the last lane it was really sunny. Unfortunately I was too tired to appreciate it properly.

I dont think any of the lanes we did today have been driven in quite some time. Almost all of them were overgrown and at one point Drift drove through a bush and dissapeared from my sight completely. Wheres Drift gone I thought to myself
It could have been like something from The Secret Garden.

None of the lanes were technically challenging but as always its about getting out in the country for a drive really. The last lane I think it was was a surprise, reasonably steep and rocky with some nice muddy, rutted sections. And of course the thrill of pushing your way through the undergrowth made up for the relative flatness of the lanes

Good banter was had by all and we only got lost once. There were a couple of technical hitches at the start in the car park when Alex's MM had a hissy fit but we swapped cards and pushed buttons till it worked

Then Simo got stuck
Alex said on the cb "Mind that ditch on your left" 4 seconds later bump Simo was in the ditch on the left you twonk at least your dad loved it

LOL @ that... Yeah that was funny. I was wondering why we had stopped.

Definitely one for beginners if they dont mind some scratches.

many thanks to Drifty for suggesting the meet and to Alex for leading, Simo for getting stuck and Jue for being late and giving us enough time to fix MM.

Oh, they look like really nice lanes. Glad you all had a good time, wish I hadn't been working in the pub

Well that's good to know

[Sir-Doris]

Yup... Will be doing the route again sometime in the future. As I said its not tricky, just really, really overgrown.

i can only imagine the words,

but haha you got stuck, did pops have his hand on the wheel,

[Drift]

I think Pops enjoyed himself, he raved on and was rather disappointed at the end that it was home time

I think we have a new gate opener, spence some old guy is after your job

[simo_d]

pop's would be ok opening and closing the gates but he would put hours on the day getting back in the truck

Just watch out, Spence is a man whore and will try to dazzle any female brought along.

[simo_d]

[andysd1]

i think that lane where simo got stuck, should now be named as, simo lane, and i think he is in need of a name change, the boy who dont listen
