Well Ive used my sim card in a dongle as I still have got internet problems, but I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all the guys and girls today, it was like old times and seeing some of your faces after a few of the lanes/water crossings was better than a Mastercard Advert..priceless :lol: :lol:

Seriously it was brilliant to meet new people and old friends and hopefully new friends and we can all go laning many more times in the future. 8)

I cant see the vids or pics or upload at the moment so hopefully Monday will be my day :roll: :lol:

Again, Thank you for making another good FOG day :dance: :dance:

Hi Guys,

Just a quick post to thank FOG for allowing me to be part of the convoy on Saturday even though I was in my Pajero, true sports!
Special thanks to Phil for great navigation and taking us through some fun lanes and leading, as well as Drift.

A really great day and also the most challenging so far for me as a newbie. I happy none of you had to tow me out!! that would of been embarrasing to say the least.

I hope to do it again sometime, thanks everyone nice bunch of lads and lasses.

Hey guys

just a quick note to say I had a great day yesterday, was a good laugh, apart from the runaway car incident, that may be what happened to your tracking Ste :oops:

There was plenty of banter, and as Drift said, peoples faces as they achieved what they thought was impossible was very rewarding, really put the FOG feeling into the day out.

Here's to next time :party:

Just back in front of a PC, got home about 8pm on Sat, pics are uploading now.

Glad everyone enjoyed themselves and I do apologise for the vegetation on the last lane :oops: the vegetation seemed to have exploded since the last time I was there.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Nothing a couple of good polishes didn't sort out mate. :D I was expecting far more damage , so a few scratches was definitely not a problem!
