Hi Guys SB is back I did bring a litttle snow with me but its going away now, and the weekend forecast looks like it's going to be warmer so maybe no more snow.

well I am going to do the recci of the fording run later so I will post a few taster piccys later even though some of you are are already having a play!!!!

Oh.... bother,

I cant get my Machos untill next week :evil: :evil:

So, i will be running on what is basically slicks this weekend. It will make things interesting, in the same way as sharing your bath with a hair drier is interesting.

Postby sugarbabe1976 on Wed Jan 24, 2007 9:07 pm

Hi Guys and gals here is some piccy's as a little taster for the fording run on Sunday.

venue: Nottinghamshire

Calverton ford
Aprrox 1ft deep

Beanford lane Oxton
Marker

Beanford lane run through

Wellow ford ollerton
Aprrox depth 1.5ft
Another mad women in Pajero she stole all the water!!! (note Sherman lurking in the background) she did smile at me as she passed!!
Image

Wellow ford
Shermans Turn

Crookford lane ford 1st run
Approx depth just under 1ft
Deeper nearer the bridge and more uneven cobbles on the bottom!!

Not bad for a novice I hope.
I can't wait till the proper run on Sunday as there are a couple more but fairly small, the run took us 1 and a half hours 2 hrs as we came back to my house via main rounds approx 59 mile trip with stops for photos and a parking area for photos and drink?

Hope this wet's lol your appetite.
