Just back from Kielder Forest with Sweety..What a blast!! sure sweety will have his own account of it!! :lol:
I travelled down to Hexham to pick up the Bonnet Guard that i won on the bay,arranged to meet up with sweety and his clan there!! After a pee break and filling our stomachs we travelled up to Kielder to do the forest drive,hoping to get dirty in the little quarry halfway along it!! 8)
It had been threatening snow all morning as i had travelled down!
The snow just came down until we couldn't see the road,this was made even better when we came upon some boy in a big flash car,who had skidded and was off the road,so i had to tow him out of coarse :wink: :wink: :lol:
Think the snow was at least 4" when we went along the forest drive,got so far in 2wd but the grip in 4wd was perfect!!
After having fun on the track we went our separate ways,me heading back up the A68 towards the Carter Bar.
Getting closer to the Carter Bar,the road was getting more and more snow bound and slippery,so into 4wd! 8)
Came across and passed about 20 cars and Lorries struggling to get to the summit,no such problem for the T2.
When i had weaved and passed all those vehicles and got to the summit,what should be sitting there,but a police T2.
i just wound the window down and shouted,"good motor these eh!!" to which i got a big grin and a thumbs up!!
All in all a good day had!! 8) 8)
