If the weather turns out to be rubbish then I'll have an excuse to do some laning round north west/mid wales. Might make it as far down as Strata Florida if I'm lucky but I doubt it
Give me a call on 07909. 552380 if you find yourself any further north than Aberdovey

well the bank holiday so far has gone really well spent a day in wales around brecon, neath, cardiff then over to the peak district and a few real proper lanes
only had one problem, the wheel bearings needed a tighten up since fitting new a couple of weeks ago, brakes were a bit vague after a steep desent on an old pebble road.
a tool i missed today was a bloody hammer to knock the cone washers out, a magnet would have been handy also, looking for washers in the grass,
an hour later both sides done and back to laning, and thanks to all the people who bothered to pull up and ask if they could help
im playing with memory map at the moment, running on an old laptop with blue tooth gps, and im really impressed, i have a few overlays saved, might be a good idea for a swop shop
im planning to go again soon, and im looking at france also
the old truck never missed a beat, but got to admit the wine from them 35 creepy crawlers is starting to get on my nerves
later joe
ps got some pics to post soon |

Sounds good apart from the problems.
If you leave the nuts on the end of the studs the cone washers wont fly all over the place.
Hope all stays well from here on in. _________________ HDJ80, BFG AT's, grooved discs, OME 850/860's |
