Having missed all the heavy rain in the area over the weekend...

 

 

 

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can confirm that we really did not miss the heavy rain on Friday night. That was not pleasant!

It was bloody loud on the roof of my small tent too, took me a while to get to sleep.

After that though we did get really bloody lucky!

[twosmoke300]

Correct - ask Dan in his Tesco value single skin tent ???

[Ghosty]

Just bumped into M'coli at Trowell Services. He's back up and running.

I'll do a bit of a better write up later, but I wanted to express my gratitude to Kirton for entrusting us with the premises for what was a very successful Shitefest. Everyone I spoke to was fantastic and a great time was had by all. Party gazebo was a success after initial failure thanks to a generous lending of some ratchet straps to brace the side by Richard, crawling into my scratcher at0145 and 0245 respectively.

Naturally, I've got around 500 photos that have been taken over the weekend - I'll start editing those as and when I have the available time, with apologies in advance if I didn't take any of your car. It wouldn't have been for any real reason, either a) the rain was coming in or b) I had a beer in my hand  and didn't fancy putting it down ?

However, I have very quickly edited one on the way back, and it's one I feel succinctly summarises the end of SF '19 perfectly.

Yup, needed a pee. Gotta go, miles to cover yet.

M6... fucked.

Hyundai... oil pressure falling.

Weather... shit.

Did you make it down? 

There was nothing more from you and no photographs...

And did you make it back home?

He made it, some magic liquid went in and no more oil came out. I think he did something to the car as well

No progress reports so far on the homeward leg though...

I saw the Stellar's front end on a couple of the photos, and possibly a side view of Mat the cat's with the bonnet open.

North of Tebay! Hyundai average MPG at the moment is 40.7 over 644 miles.

[mat_the_cat]

I managed 25mpg on one tankful...pleased with that!

[bigstraight6]

Massive respect to the Scottish contingent for making the epic journey to darkest Devon and back..

We should do lands end in 2020 and John o groats in 2021. That'll seperate the men from the boys... 

[SiC]

Bloody hell, a lot of you ran out of luck for the journey home!

Was I the only one , in my MGB, not to breakdown on the way home?! Apart from Mr6C Citroen DS, it was one of the oldest cars there! 

 

[davidfowler2000]

SVM Industries have made it to Todhills in good time after a pleasant hour in Cannock for a snack dinner with Mr chaseracer. Eta Glasgow 2255.

[cms206]

Welcome to On The Lavatory, with cms206.

97 miles to go... Todhills has new shitters.  Single ply bogroll, danger of a wee poke in the bum. 3/10.

[beko1987]

You should post that word for word on TripAdvisor. We had quilted triple ply at shitefest

Road rage on the M1! This is turning into one long day, another 4 hours of driving at least...

 

Shoulda done a wuvvum CX special down the side........

[beko1987]

I'm in bed before some people are home

[MikeR]

Todhills

thats a blast from the past , I think my mum and dad used that as a stop on the way back to Tinwald ( when the runway still existed )

it was sort of halfway ..

 

[KruJoe]

Just home as the sun sets over Malhamdale. Six-and-a-half hours. 

No FTPs to be seen here, the Pleasure Wagon has looked after me brilliantly. TFFT!

Thank you so much everyone, it's been emotional.

305 is now lowering the tone of my street. JohnK is away in the S90 with Rich and Proton in tow.
