I've always said a lot is dependant on the driver as you and I know CW.

Were they as bad as the Staffs sheep we use to encounter?

I am jealous.

 

Top day once more, so thanks to Marv & Paul from me too.

Didn't see anyone jotting down numbers anywhere - where was that?

 

Possibly about ten miles into the run?

We pulled off a main road, blatted along a country lane, then around a slow right hander, onto another straight where obviously you opened the car up again. Well the guys house was on the inside right of the slow corner. Hard to remeber exactly a few days on t.b.h.

 

These were nancy Chesire sheep 'chelle , most of em were being sheperded across the A54. There was a stray Derbyshire one later on but we managed to persuade it not to cross the road.

We had to contend with Coaches, sheep, 2 closed roads, Fell Runners, a Cycle Race and a Tractor (although the driver only had 2 arms & one head)

 

All in a days work eh?

 

Cheers once again Marv and Paul, cracking day! Maybe for the next one I'll have upgraded to a scoob that can actually keep up on these things and won't have to go along as a passenger anymore!

Anyway heres the better of the pics that I took on the day
