Wish I had left dirty as it looks like someone has been down the sides of it with sandpaper :shock:
Might have to get the t cut and polish out later before the other half comes home and says I have wrecked it :lol:

Didn't bother me mate or Colley really mate or anyone for that matter mate :wink: and it was my favourite too.

Me and colley said The only downside to the lanes we did was that their is nothing like that near us so it makes you realise how crap the lanes are round here :roll:

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a great day laning on the Sunday. Thanks to everyone involed, especially Tom for the effort that went into arranging it all and Colley who did a fine job of navigating our group and opening all the gates! and to Hattie and Abbey for closing them all.

I had a great day laning on the Saturday, and really enjoyed everyones company and banter.

Sorry that I was a bit rude in leaving without saying good bye to many, but unfortunately I had to leave in a bit of a rush. Glad everyone made it home and nearly all in one peice.

Looking forward to the next time. And guess what, to peoples suprise and amazement, my springs never came out. I said it was a proper job :)

We had a great weekend and are looking forward to the next time.

Thanks to:
Tom for organizing,
The group leaders for doing a bang up job keeping us moving in ever more fun/testing lanes & routes,
The Great Campsite/location ( would like to return there),
Everyone else for being themselves & making it another FOGTastic experience.

Special thanks to Dan (Hippo1024) & co for Rednecking my rear window ( which after 2 days of tempting fate with anything from getting away scott free through battle scars to total destruction of my standard Fronty B ) the rear window was smashed in spectacular style into more that 100,000 pieces whilst reversing up into a tree.... to exit the camp site. :oops: :oops:

A few bin liners and about 300 feet of electricians tape slapped on in the pouring rain held long enough to see us safely back home dry and intact.

I have some pics and will post when I can find the card reader.

:D
