just got back from a brilliant weekend. although the weather was'nt that good, the company and beers flowed well into the night for some people :rotfl:
hope everyone enjoyed themselves and got home safely. big,big thankyou to postfinder for being my map reader for the weekend and getting us to some ace lanes.
i know they are not on this forum, yet, but would also like to thank the lads from "shropshire-suzuki" for coming along and showing us the lanes that they new.
am just looking through some pics and will try and post a few later. :wink:
here's to the next one lads :D

Just out of the shower and got to say thanks to neil for organising it and all the other lads for making it a great weekend with many laughs

there was a couple of mishaps with one of the suzuki's suffering front collapsed suspension on strata florida almost losing the wheel too :shock: but with many hands tools and alex's expert knowledge he got going again and completed the lane :o

Alex himself had a problem with his immobiliser less than 10 yards later but he also fixed that and got going again

and then there was errr nothing else at all nothing happened,nothing to see and no pics to prove it :roll: :oops: ( i hope) but al least i know my winch works

and the lanes was unbelievable to the point of overshadowing strata florida

sadly no pics as to busy driving the lanes and drinking beer later when i wasn't :drink:

Sorry Rich, but everyone was enjoying themselves too much on this one, doing lots of lanes rather than wasting time stopping every 5 mins for a photo shoot. but what was taken, will be up shortly I imagine.

missed postfinders 6am four lettered rant but was told it was very funny, but did manage to catch most of the others :lol:
