Oooooops!!!... Nearly.

Heading home from the Plume we tagged along with Mudwizz and BTbloke, zipping over the moor behind Mudwiz, stretching in front of us a long downhill, nice left hander at the bottom, then up the hill again, no traffic .
Over to right hand verge, into apex, then Bump (felt like suspension bottomed) bounce to other side of road and blast up the hill.
We stop just outside Exeter, BT walk's up and gives me a B*ll*cking for scaring him half to death
Apparently the 'bump' was the left pannier ploughing a furrow along the grass verge, throwing dirt and mud all over the road. !!!
BT expected to be picking us up, but i just carried on oblivious.

Heres the offending 'plough'





Here's the loaded tractor taking a break



All's well that end's well
