When I was a little kid, the state schools magazines had a "Cuthbert Caterpillars Caravan" item. Nev

Hopefully the Huntmaster will be a bit faster then a Snail

That's it. Something to aspire to. Nev

Rule of 6 applies now so we got a few of us together and had a lovely first group ride of the year


Our Pete Fletcher joined us on his trusty VH

Mick was on his VH also, and Tilly for once completed our short ride with everything still attached, A first for him
I got the Cyclone out for a spin, it too behaved impeccably.

We found a nice burger wagon and parked near a rather fine 1987 BMW

We also a nice chat with a new member Steve Fletcher who happened to be at the same burger bar with his wife
who told us about his new acquisition, a1957 Huntmaster which according to him needed some attention to the wiring. Welcome to my world I said I re-told the story of one of my recent incendiary incidents at Pershore, Peter said they were still "damping down" to this day, I think Steve is now reassured his wiring can't be that bad after all

Done a bit more work on the trailer tent, got an awning finished, just need to pack everything in and get ready to leave next week.

One job I must do is make a mud flap for the rear mug guard, all the road dirt gets deposited on the trailer roof

Nice job yesterday near Portsmouth and an even lovelier place to stop for a coffee.

Today the excitement starts, I've made my bed so I'm off today for Sunny Dentdale. It's the first weekend we are allowed out to say away from home provided we go self catering..
The mornings are very cold so I'll head off around 2 today, should get up before it's dark.

Just got away, warm sunshine, cant ask for more.

Haydock Services do lovely Cheese sandwiches, Cheers Jim.



He got me as I left.
