Thumbs up

Well i just got back from a full reccy driving 370 miles. None of those "well we did 780 miles, and had to suck on a damp sponge" replies please, 'cos i stuck rigidly to the route and didn't get lost or start exploring farm tracks leading up cliff faces etc.

And thus, here are a couple of teasers, that "may or may not be part of the WCT5". They definitely were not part of any of the earlier WCTs!!

Firstly, proof that you must always drive so that you can safely stop within the distance that you can see to be clear...




and here is one of those nice bits of road that occasionally appear, although you really need to be there to appreciate the sights and sounds :bet-you-are-wondering: ...




So get yer names confirmed, and see if we can coax LMW back from Oz

Latest Roll Call for WCT5 - due Sat/Sun the 5th/6th July 2003

Please get your confirmations down ASAP (and thus get a thumbs-up by your name)! When i spoke to the camp site earlier, they said that "our field" (or rather, our hillside) is normally closed until mid-July. However, if we can guarantee enough attendees, then they will open it especially for us They will be calling me on Sunday (22nd) so try to confirm (below) by then!

Happy Campers?

Please put a next to us, although Rachael is a maybe, so I might be lacking a navigator/in-car photographer

Looking forward to it (though hope we don't find too many sheep in the middle of the road!! )

That's all part of the fun

Well you have to give them something old , something new , something different and something fun

here is one of those nice bits of road that occasionally appear, although you really need to be there to appreciate the sights and sounds
Did they get you?

Boomer, LOVE the sheep.
I know where you were in the second one, I recognise the wood on the right. Target practice?
