I'm surprised the A66 was open hutch yesterday with the wind !
I rode 5 mile to work & back , wind in my face going there , took 8 minutes though coming back !

Towed home in not bad conditions, never felt the wind! have tried to put more pictures up yesterday but obviously too many for one posting, and wouldn't take them? so i'll put a few up in separate posts.

More Golf Saturday. No wonder you were in the woods at Woosiethorpe collecting stray balls :evil:

 

[Gafferbill]

Really enjoyed the meet at Woosiethorpe..........Thank you everyone 🙂

........the short trip down to Wyton in the windy weather was a doddle as a lot of the A16 route was in a queue of hundreds of vehicles all following a huge agricultural harvester doing 25 mph 😱hmy:

 

[Hutch]

Down In Wylam , near to Newcastle, been upto St Andrews for two nights, Long 155 miles drive over the A68 very tiring 4 1/2 hours. Here for 4 nights Then down to Doncaster. Should be just on 1000 miles since leaving home on the 13th. Be ready for a holiday.

The cl site is about 100 yards from his birthplace cottage.

Points out of 10 Hutch? Good views?

 

[Hutch]

Mablethorpe beach, for the dogs, Bamburgh Castle, for the View. Muir Park for empty Whisky bottles. Thee A 68 for tiring but spectacular areas of maybe getting a puncture. Today at sea View Restaurant, with Elaine's Aunties.unfortunaty BH have shut down Stevensons cottage. So therefore. The Fox and Hounds. Wylam.

 

[Gabsgrandad]

Have you got any more?

 

[ProfJohnL]

Have you got any more?

Never believe what you see in the papers B)
The text lines should read,

"Wow you did good job of cleaning that, can I push it back in cause I'm desperate for the loo! :lol:

 

[Thingy]

I know what the guy is saying

"You filled it, you empty it."

She says " ME empty it?....Yeah right"

Statistics........

Bought new January 1996 for £9500
Travelled 89660 miles....no punctures!
Nights spent 1217
No money spent on storage.
Never been serviced by anybody but me.

.........many years of fun times :cheer:

If it had given such good service why did you strip it down? Surely it could have been given a new life as a veteran van.

 

[Dustydog]

The Chassis looks in very good nick. What's in store for its next life?
Is the old body on a farm as a chicken coup 😛
I hope Swift send you a long service award :cheer:

Want to buy a 1300kgs Alko Euro axle Clive?......one careful owner 😉
