That is a more reasonable journey time  :)

Was good to put some faces to names.  Roll on the next one.

Many thanks for finding the site Ian and helping to organise the event, certainly a nice place to stay and play :)
That's good to hear Gerrard, dad managed to get 65 mph in the black one with the trailer on, he's says he was fed up of me being on his back end, well I certainly couldn't keep up!  :D

Well I've got to start off by thanking you all for your help. A special thanks to Tony for wasting half of his day trying to fix my old heap (said in a loving manner of course) and to Ian for both rescuing me and giving me a lift back. It really is much appreciated and I can't thank you enough.

I really enjoyed the bits I didn't miss. The banter was great and Brian took the abuse well! :P Hopefully next year I'll get to spend a bit more time watching the carnage on the off road site. I've subscribed to Bart's channel on youtube to catch up with as much as I can

I would like to add my thanks for organising the weekend, especially Moose for putting up with my constant questions!
Next year I am going to take an empty trailer, that way I can get Neil's mog there without having to play with very hot parts on the side of the road ;)

I thought you looked like you were having fun spitting on it? Or was the heat just an excuse? :D

That's a pretty good result. Be good to see how you get on in yours if you make it next year. I'm hoping to follow it but it depends on the finances after our house renovation.
