Bob,

Your still getting a lot of crap up the side of the vehicle!

Have you fitted the mud flap extension brakets yet?

They are fitted

Less c**p than last time

The plains were certainly busy, but the huskeys, 101's and Imber church made up for it.

The A303 was busy as well - glad I was not heading for London

Hi all - great day again, many thanks

Some good gloopy mud out there today - but as others have said, certainly seemed busy, But not as busy as the M3 and M25 heading back to Kent. Still, 122 miles home in bang on 2 hrs - not at all bad when you consider what we had been doing in the same vehicle just an hour or so earlier

Looking forward to the next one - thanks again Steve.

Enjoyable day, well worth the jaunt down from Hereford, nice to see some faces

Took me at least 1/2hr to clean my youngest puddle measurer before I could put clean clothes on him

In all the years i've been out on the areas, i've never seen it this busy. There were vehicles everywhere!

I wonder how many got collared for playing off piste (I certainly saw a few doing stuff they shouldn't

)

We had a good day too.....good to meet those I/we chatted to during the day. We were both surprised how busy it was though!

Gave the DC a bit of a clean today......only took all morning - it was everywhere!!

Here's to the next run out though, thanks for organising yesterday Steve

I also should say, thankyou to everyone who mucked in with my mystery puncture! I will let you know the cause if we ever find out.

My partner will have her professional photos up over the next couple of days, so keep an eye out!
