The water crossings are a cert. Short, but deep and fast with a turn and a steep exit. Have some new ones to run as well, either at the end of the old run or some West of the Mynd. May run the one where the Landy tried to roll over in reverse :wink:

PMSL! :D :D :D

yeah... the water took a 30' strop with 4 heavy shackles in about 2 seconds flat, with the lack of rain recently should be a bit quieter now.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

I was thinking about 9:15, have to watch though, turns into a mini meet, need the discipline to shift out when last person pulls in.
