Just got in and unloaded.

Phone's transferring 142 pictures to PC !!

Brilliant weekend, good company, awesome scenery and cracking lanes! Had a great time, great mixture of lanes, mud, rocks, grass, sand, whatever, oh, and lots of gorse bushes, hawthorn bushes, branches, trees, ferns ... all wiping the paintwork clean!

... and what a great campsite, all the amenities!

I'll post some pics later, when they've finished transferring.

Sorry for not getting on sooner, but I needed to watch video of the GP before I heard the result!!

I've got loads of pictures and video, but I'm not expecting anything great. We'll have to see (I'm uploaded as I type)

Brilliant weekend. Apologies for stealing a large chunk of Wales - it's still in my tow bar.

Should I mention having to use my stock Disco to pull 90Boy's monster out of the mud?

Well not without admitting he was only stuck because he had just pulled me out and was trying to get through a big flood with me attached. Lucky I was still on fairly solid ground.

I love those tyres I've got (Wrangler AT/S) but they're not so good on the road as my others. On the way back I out braked an Audi on to a roundabout at around 45 and just on the apex the Disco started to slide - a bit scary. My Pirelli Scorpians could do it easily. But then, I'll give up some road speed for the fun like this weekend.

If we'd have seen a pub I would have bought 90Boy and Paul.D a big pint each - it was great to have the advice of experience people there to help - even if it was always "faster!" of "give it some welly!"

90boy · Aug 23, 2009

glad you had a good time tim i knew you injoyed pulling my backwards a couple of feet and then going though the mud easyer than me. i am sure i cleared the ruts out for you

stu2985 · Aug 23, 2009

Were you camping in a poor reception area I sent my text about 7:50 pm Saturday night

Tim.C · Aug 23, 2009

No way - I told you before we went - skinny tyres are what you need
