Hippo where do you wana meet to convoy up the the Premier Inn?

Here? http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&sourc ... 38,,0,9.45 If you come off the A14 at J37 and turn left, then thats the 1st left, only a about a hundred meters down the road. The road its self is called "Windmill Hill". If you just pull up on that mud/grass patch and wait for me, or I'll be waiting for you there . Say meet there about 10am? google says its only about 24mins away, so we wont be rushed for time if either of us is running late. Also I'll email you the MM route tomorrow night probs around midnite, but maybe earlier depending on how things go.

If you dont mind, could you get me 2 hot chocolate's when you stop off for your caffeine fix I'll pay you back of course!

Also I now have a passenger coming with me, so Neal you better have enough cakes for all the mouths in attendance! lol They look very nice! just wish I could grab one now!

[hipo1024]

12hours to go! lol

[RatCav]

Cakes and Flapjack at the ready ... hope your hungry!!

Did a gearbox and engine oil change tonight in preparation.

Will bring some spare vacuum pipe and solenoids just in case

[hipo1024]

lol just done the vac pipes, if any of you have some spray grease could you bring it?? I need a tiny bit but dont want to buy a whole can just for one job.

[fudge]

if needed im sure we can get you out.
and if you really wanna them my muds can still be brought along, even if only 2 of them
and im now up and getting ready for the day.

[RatCav]

Spray grease is in the truck already

[hipo1024]

thanks for the offer but I can't really be asked to swap the wheels around. as you say I'm sure one of you will be able to tug me out if need be.

and thank for the grease! . I'm a cheap git arnt I lol

[hipo1024]

Ok so we all made it, No one got stuck, all of us got on 3 wheels, and I at least got some air lol, by I, I mean me, as in there was air between my butt and the seat lol, and my mate hurt his danglies on one of the bottom outs lol.

We were all at the meeting point by about 10:40am, had a natter and had a snoop at the map on the laptops and set off soon after 11. Half a mile later (just as me and my mate were talking about who was going to brake down 1st, to which I was saying the trooper would last the longest because its...well its a trooper and its a 2.8 TD) I saw RatCav with his hazards on. lol His clutch slave had given up the ghost, so fogman towed him back to Premier Inn car park for further investigation.

The RAC arrived and he saurced the part and took RatCav to collect the it, twice as he forgot his wollet the 1st time lol . The RAC man then went about fitting the cylinder and at about 1:30pm we set off for the second time lol.

I managed to do the entire day in 2wd with tyres inflated to about 38PSI, so I can safely say that its a prity able truck.

We had the odd set back because lanes were shut or would be dangerous to pull out of ect. but everyone enjoyed them selfs and the weather couldnt have been better! We even found some mud to cover our trucks in lol.

Here are my pics, vids to follow once ive edited them:
































Its the moon!


And this is the route that we ending up taking:


I would like to thank everyone for coming and making today such a nice one! Also I would like to thank Rob for lending me his CB and fudge for lending me his twig so that I could use the CB lol.
