a bit of out and about

went out and about in old landrovers today

we would go up over the old coach road in the lakes - as it will be clear and no problem as the weather is now better

well we all made it in the end - lots of digging lots of pushing and pulling and a fair bit of winch action

oh the joys of a simple day out ...............

a little bit of wagon driving history

on the old A6 over shap summit between shap and kendal is this memorial

i'm a driver myself so the sign means more i suppose - but it goes to show the efforts of those who came before us were not all forgotten
it is still a bad road even today-and even with modern wagons - just goes to show........

our gill - back end of a bus ?

no never ! - front end of a wagon maybe !

happy mothers day - our gill - from your darling brother
