Good luck for tomorrow, guys! I'm sorry to be missing out - I think the weather will make a lot of the routes a good test of driver & car ability Cool

Cheers,

Until the next time

Nice to meet you Julian. Keep that Sahara sand safe Wink

Cracking day everyone, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
Apologies to team one that we didn't get back to the Bustard Inn to see you but we were 12 miles away on the top of a big hill
when you shouted us.

Until next time Laughing

It was very hard work eating all the extra sausage bacon and eggs that you didn't get back for Smile

Was a very good day, actually getting the routes mapped out makes it very simple to navigate now, even with all that water, i knew i should have fitted my snorkel before i went.
When are we going next then?

I am glad that team 2 made it out, all we could hear on the CB was Ecky pulling people out.

After you went Busaboy, Blobrob and I did a quick route South and West from where we split up and I think there are at least two full circuits that way as well.

Crispin, Sorry about your sausage I cooked it thinking you would be a long shortly to eat it. I have let it cool and will have it later. Let me know what its called and will bring some next time.

I had a great day and tested the snorkel to boot. Very Happy

We will have to do it again soon......By the way team 2 where did you end up?

We went over to Eastern Range which is where myself and Ecky usually hang around. Was okay actually, saw our fair share of mud, lots of water (fortunately none too deep as not all of us were ensnorkled) and generally had a good blast. One puncture, lots of rain but i enjoyed it.

If it werent for the Navy constantly messing with my social life i'd be up there every weekend! Wink
