Had a great few hours today.

Stonkingly hot, very dusty, but still found a couple of small water holes and plenty shade to stop and drink at! No extreme routes, a couple that looked like they'd not been driven since last time I was down (about 2 years) and very little traffic about.

Took me time, plodded along. Moved a couple of boulders that were blocking one lane and helped a youth roll his quad back onto four wheels! (Sorry didn't take a pic!) He had loads of gear on it, taking snap to a couple of tractor drivers in the fields.

Just a lovely days steady plodding.

Apologies for the crap pics, camera phone (cheap Blackberry) through the windscreen mostly so a lot of reflections from the gps etc ...

Ooh yeah, forgot about that ... mid to end August OK?

I'm off on holiday in a couple of weeks, Lakes, doing Gatesgarth Pass and other stuff, so can't afford a full nights out till after the hols, but will work something out shortly.

Last time I went it was ace, really weird and way different to daylight, but so funny ..

Sure was! Nice lane, straight with a 90 corner past the bungalow ..

One time I was there we had to get past a Peugeot that had obviously been nicked and driven to destruction! I can understand them not wanting people to drive it, but it's lovely and legal, so I drive it. If the local tossers stayed away with their burning cars out etc it'd probably be fine, I guess!

What did he say?
