    Oh We Saw A Puddle,it Was 100 Feet Long,curved,deeper One Side Than The Other,with Hidden Boulders That Launched You To The Deep Side Whether You Like It Or Not,and About 2 Foot Deep In The Shallow End. Took A Pint Home In Each Boot To Prove It.pic 12 is me relishing being back on dry land.
    It was the one alps took a bath in,and if you look at the last pic you'll see me crapping myself trying to save myself at the end of a big sideways action bit.
    Bloody good laugh and about 75 miles to boot,50% off road, with the blue alp squadron led by wing commander mad mudwiz.


    managed to exorcise a few demons and re-visited the lane i got stranded in for 7 hours,a lot dryer and thouroughly conquered.

    OK, poor quality photos, good quality "puddle"





    For those who don't know, its the really long wet thing behind the bikes, slight curve so you can't see the end.

    BT means it about the rocks, had one hit the sump guard so hard it threw me into the bank, both feet down and trapped! Thanks guys for pushing the bike upright again!

    Sharri - said it was dry and dusty, when its wet there's sooooooo much mud .

    Looks like you had a great time , .

    Sorry I missed it , but Darling Daughter took priority as she is gettin ready to do her CBT. She was on the "Ped" for less than an hour and decided it was too slow, .

    Sort one out Mudwiz and I'll get there this time.
