Rob, you noticed I wasn't in shot!
And not a single foxglove has harmed in the making of these movies.

Cracking low down there Clive.

I shall reiterate everybodys sentiments this was a fab weekend, even though Pete and I arrived in a poorly vehicle (thanks Russel for the tow). Thanks AndyS for taking Pete away for the day (How did you survive?) and Clive and Jenny for taking me and Georgia.

Roger the trip was .... well AA style! Have spoken with their customer relations today, maybe this may of contributed to my completely seized back?

Oh I am soooo pleased a certain 14 year old was unable to come due to his sport commitments.

Pete, should have edited Tyke's efforts to spare him too many blushes!
How's the gear box?

I think AndyTke was demonstrating the lowest gear that would give the speed to get up, 3rd in low box was the answer (thats what he said and I believed him :) )
