That woz ages ago mate. No av still got the same tyres on but am gunna be very particular on lanes with walls. And I'll be carrying a tape measure for those tight looking spaces too. :lol:

ians doing a run of the route next weekend so i'm sure he will avoid any lanes that may be a bit tight for you.

hi dadba .
narrowest gate is over an unmanned level crossing.
WHILE I AM AT IT . THE WAY TO CROSS THESE UNMANNED GATES IS .
OPEN FIRST GATE HAVE A GOOD LOOK UP AND DOWN RAILWAY LINE ,IF ITS CLEAR """WALK""""ACROSS AND OPEN OTHER GATE ,GET IN TRUCK DRIVE TO A POSSISION SO YOU ARE ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY UP AND DOWN THE TRACK ,IF ITS CLEAR DRIVE OVER AND PARK WELL CLEAR OF GATES SO """"" ALL CAN CROSS SAFELY"""""""""" LAST MAN TO CLOSE GATES OBSERVING THE ABOVE TRACK CROSSING PROCEDURE.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
WHEN BACK IN HIS TRUCK CONTACT LEADER AND ALL TO PROCED.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
SOUNDS DAFT BUT SOMEONE GOT KILLED ON ONE OF THESE CROSSINGS IN LINCOLNSHIRE BECAUSE HE DROVE ONTO CROSSING THEN GOT OUT TO OPEN SECOND GATE SAW THE TRAIN COMING AND TRIED TO MOVE HIS VAN EXPRESS HIT HIM .
NO EXPRESS TRAINS ON THIS LINE ONLY COAL TRAINS GOING TO POWER STATION.

TELL KAREN NOT TO WORRY SKEG IS NOT TO FAR AWAY.

YOU WONT NEED A MAP YOU WILL JUST BE FOLLOWING PICTURE DIAGRAMS AND MILAGE .
ie.
turn right drive 1.7 miles take second road off roundabout .
drive .3 of a mile turn left at entrance to BYWAY through green gate.
this as well as diagrams will get you there.
this is called a NAV EX. (navigation exercise)
there will also be questions on observation .
ie.
who points in all directions = weather cock on st marys church.

Its called a road book Ian - its just that lot at COC that call it Nav ex - they wouldn't know a navigation exercise if I sent them one. I'll bring some stuff along on the 22nd if I remember.

hi simon .
you caught me out there as you say road book.
couldnt think what it was called and my saus egg and chips was getting cold.

i only intend to do the r.b. for a short distance due to time but its just to give some idea of what could be done .
Cameraman set one up for corc around retford erea I new all the lanes but he still managed to get me and gordon lost.
but it was a laugh and we didnt come last.
