bush doctor Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I dont know Steve. You have had all this time to get ready . Your nearly as bad as Bushy . Looks like an all star line up ,good luck to all . Just gutted we are not going . Maybe next year. Take no notice Steve It's not what happens before you start it's how you finish. It's nice to see that some venture out of the small pond into the big one isn't that rite Jas Best of luck mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Ill remember that when we are changing uj's , wheel bearings and repairing punctures at 4am on the ferry. And then splice a rope and sort a bit of wiring at the drivers briefing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Steves trailer is getting new axles as the hub sheared on the old ones and it was only braked (badly) on one axle. Made long descents interesting! Anyway the axles were ordered ages ago but still haven't materialised. Going to be a busy few days me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I did, but its not really upto the job (it copes fine but is well over its weight limit with the 90 on the back and I just don't fancy being pulled). So much as I hate towing it looks like we will be going that way. At least we are in convoy so its a bit less stressful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much as I hate towing it looks like we will be going that way. At least we are in convoy so its a bit less stressful. Better off towin Mark if your wagon isnt upto it.The ministry checkpoint at carlisle is notorious for pulling up vehicles for weighing if they look heavy,i once got pulled into there 4 times in one week in the artic The plan is for us to set off about 6ish friday morning and get there mid afternoon.As Saley says,wouldnt fancy having to come as far as Jim and Paul,must be over 500 miles for them.But then again Bob S couldnt be any furthur south without getting wet so its going to be a long day for him too Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
