Went up Worsley spur on sat, got myself into a spot of trouble, was the leading truck, look out a rear window and the only thing that stopped me going over was the rut. Had to get 2 people to balance the truck when getting pulled forward.
Pics really don't show it

shit, I didn't think folks carried gear like that. It must weigh a tonne in the back of your wagon, but obviously handy at times.

bout time you got some lockers matt, you would have driven straight out of that. what took the rear window out? things flying on the inside of the vehicle when it slid into the rut and stopped suddenly? Did you come up the track on the left in the pic and forget the drop off or was it just to slippery and it dropped in no matter what?

shit big turn out coxsy
Was supposed to be a new members day that grew
even had trucks from Thames and Cambridge - being split into 7 groups worked well for my group - if it looked like there might be a conflict I led my group down the joining easy tracks to another play area - also good idea to have lunch b4 the rest - then you get away first and get first dibs on what not covered - hardly any waiting all day and a nice play in the Forest

Wasn't all bad, I got to help her by some new lacy underwear
Sat afternoon was spent ripping the dash of the Isuzu apart ...
Mounted the switches for the Spots, Day lights, Glow timer override, Air Horns, wired up the radio, remade a bunch of connections that were just twisted and taped.
Sunday afternoon was spent wiring up the fuses and relays and testing.
I just have to work out how to get the cigarette lighter socket out so I can fit the last 2 switches.
My wife being of the female genre reckons you fell asleep in front of the footy and dreamt that you ripped it off with your teeth
