DERBYSHIRE GREEN LANES DAY,SUNDAY 10th FEBUARY 08
HI .
WELL DIDNT WE HAVE SOME STORYS TO TELL ABOUT SUNDAY.
PAUL 332 learning how good mavs HI LIFT JACK IS.
paul had lost his back box on leeside , recon it died of embarissment failing to get up there .THE RUST BUG GOT TO IT.
STILL 5 MINS LATER HE HAD THE REMAINS STASHED IN THE BACK OF HIS TRUCK AND OFF WE WENT AGAIN.
A quick play for mav and nellie at PINDALE . first coat of mud.
BROUGH LANE . we met the landowner .who was all for charging us £10 each to drive his lane ,he said a lot of damage had been done to HIS lane and was looking for funds to aid repairs.
NOT BAD IDEA but lane is an ORPA and is maintained by council . :?
still he was a nice old gent and we parted wishing each other a fond fairwell.
HE put us a bit late into EYAM and lunch so we missed jj and group 2.
mav and jj chatting away over CB and relaying messages back to me.
because i couldnt hear them .
sorry we missed you guys ,must try harder next time.
PUDSEY put in a few appearances keep an eye on the photos he has already been on one have you found him yet .he even brought a stunt double.
MAV WAS SO HIGH UP IN NELLIE AT ONE POINT HE SHOUTED OVER THE CB HE HAD A NOSE BLEED.
MAV fed the trout in the river wye at monsal dale, they even ate the tomato :lol: .
I was very pleased with the way the lanes had dried up and i think some repair work had been done already.
Just as the light was fading we headed towards houndkirk moore .
what a sunset bright red against the distant hills.
on houndkirk we met the only others out in 4x4s all said hello as we passed them .
we got to the gate and rather than open it we had a quick photo shoot and then we turned around and.
MAV TOOK HIS RIGHTFULL PLACE AS LEADER OF THE PACK.
and drove houndkirk back the way we came , which i found much harder it was like going against the grain. MUCH ROUGHER.
NELLIE SHOWED US A LITTLE OF WHAT SHE IS CAPABLE OF
JUST ROLLING OVER THEM ROCKS .
THEN THERE WAS THE THREE SHEEP .LESS SAID ABOUT THEM THE BETTER. :wink: .
Back at the starting gate it was just a matter of setting sat nav (tomtom one) for home and all 4 of the trucks drove in convoy untill we reached dronfield bypass then it was time to waive goodbye to paul 332 and christine. and after all the ribbing about him being exhausted he was problably glad to see the back of us.
We made our way to Chesterfield then Mansfield then just outside Rainworth .it was time to waive to mav and tubbs and jnr as they headed home that just left me and big G.and big SIS. guided them a few miles and they were back on turf gordon recognised. so bye bye .gordon.
only thing left was a detore to local chippy for fish and chips.
once back home we counted pudseys money couldnt believe it £30
THEN LOOKED AT THE DISCLAIMER SHEETS AND SOME OF YOU DIDNT PUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU DONATED ,SO IF YOU WOULDNT MIND COULD YOU PM ME WITH YOUR NAME AND USER NAME AND AMOUNT YOU PAID. THEN I CAN WORK OUT HOW MANY TICKETS YOU HAVE.
MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO TOOK PART ,THE ONES WHO COULDNT MAKE IT ,THANKS FOR TRYING TO COME .AND THOSE WHO DIDNT .BET YOU WISHED YOU DID NOW .
