Bloody shame that mate - would offer you passage in my wee beastie but have the family in tow. Would you consider riding shotgun if someone could provide steerage?

New addition - young chap called Nathan (keen on linking in with ORE and potentially, it's club off-shoot). Lad (shite, I sound like one of those "57 old-farts" :shock: )has an excellent fund of initiative, is driving a a well kitted LWB Prado, and is following Nigel up on the Saturday.

Padero. I will leave work at 3.00, because my passenger (maybe) can be there then. That is from Charteris bay which is about 35 mins from Yaldhurst. Give me a call on 0210433507 and we can meet at the Yaldhurst Robbies carpark if you like. Otherwise I will keep a listen going on channel 11 PRS.

Don't ya just love those early starts when the handbrake decides to come along ... "on the road first thing" = 10am and still at home, still finding micro-spaces to squeeze all her "we might need that ... oh, I couldn't go without that ... might be cold - better take that" ensemble :x .

See you @ the Bealey - have a safe trip.

Mr Leithfield, how dare you ----- 57year old farts --- you have personally attacked my age. The punishment must fit the crime :!:
I will back the Cruiser up till my EXHAUST PIPE is adjacent to your open drivers window and apply pressure to the BLACK button for 10 seconds ,------ I think you know the result .
You should have the sound system turned up and be listening to ( smoke get's in your eye's , smoke on the water , or you may have favourites of your own ? ) .
GET READY, GET DIRTY , FITZY .

Bloody good luck getting your exhaust up to Kevs window.

Is there a trip report about this trip? Some of the spots you went on the video don't look familiar and I would love to know where you guys went. what are the chances of a route shown on a map? Or really good trip report so the rest of us can find our way there...
