I chose to spend the day helping my brother build his conservatory. With their baby due the beginning of April, they need an extra room before then......

Well I feel like the man right now: Started the D*lly on the handle last night, started second turn and generally find that removing my shirt leads to much swooning. Oh to be me

 Re: Up & down Lord Hereford's Knob
Cracking day out, even if Spanners, Gaz and his mate (sorry, didn't get his name) and myself were left behind when we had climbed to the top of Hay Bluff mountain  We just got to the top and thay all drove off!!  Still, we only got to the pub ten minutes later than them and we had to climb down a bloody big, bloody steep mountain and change our boots before setting off!!! Lets just say that much more modern, faster cars had to give way and let us pass as we blatted down the Gospel Pass

 Re: Up & down Lord Hereford's Knob
Agreed, it was bloody good fun. Although a bit scary at times when Taffy hooned off like a loon!
And the Ami ran like a dream and my lights worked and everything!
Although my windscreen is covered in oil from JonM's car......

 Re: Up & down Lord Hereford's Knob
Sorry Gaz, sorry Rich, Sorry Spann....er, sod that last apology  Nah, only joking. Was a great day out, and I'm glad I decided to climb Hay Bluff. Was easier when I climbed it back in the summer though (just).
