Do we have the revised route out yet? And if so could I please have a copy.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Right i think Ive found the lane. If you find the ph at Henham where we are having lunch. It is the 1st lane we do after that. It follows the river cam/granta for a short distance on a steep gradient. It is here that the edge is giving way and a shear drop to the water awaits. This is easily bypassed without major changes to the overlay.
I've got my tech working now too. Just downloaded viewranger and it works a treat

My apologies, truck is ready to roll, tea flask is full, butties made.... But due to family commitments I won't be attending. Have a good day and don't break the trucks, much.... :wink:
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.
