It was an excellent day out weather was great and so was the company.I also managed to knock 29 mins of the sat nav estimated time home so got to the party only slightly late.
Was nice to see you again
I don't where to start talking about yesterday, I'm still exhausted
Leading the trip was very very hard work, even with Zip in the passenger seat to help and be gate bitch . I don't think I appreciated the work involved before. You have to drive, navigate, keep the group together, work out where to drive on the difficult bits, open gates and remember to do gate descriptions. I usually just follow Zip
So a belated thanks to Zip, Andy, Neil and anyone else who has led a trip I have been on.
Belford was dreadful, I thought it was bad before, but nothing like yesterday. When I came round the corner from the ford and saw it I had already suggested to Zip that Andy should lead up it, but got told if I was leading I couldn't chicken out of the bad bits . When I saw it I expected Zip would suggest backing out, he didn't
Then we had a slight error in communication Zip got out to video and left instructions. I misunderstood and instead of just putting a wheel up onto the high bit to test it, I drove straight in
I got stuck, although by Neils classification I'm not sure it counts as I didn't need a tow to get out. It was tipped so far the passenger wheels were just about off the ground and both spinning. Anyway I got out with only a few minor scratches from the rocks on the banking and a bent indicator where I grabbed it to stop falling out of the window Unfortunately Phil followed me and was more unlucky
Well done to the others for getting up it without drama
The rest of the trip went without incidents and only a minor breakdown
Was lovely to see everyone again, cant wait for the next trip

That is really not surprising the drive home was almost as thrilling at times think I lost you through the second set of red lights in bradford
Just got home and might manage a few hours sleep before an early start to do the horses.
Then Neil, Zip and I are going CAVING :hysterically_laughi
I really hope no one takes a pic of me in the outfit Kate has just lent me for this expedition.
If we aren't back by tomorrow night, someone call the mountain rescue
