    I used to feel the same, I just pull in where I can and be courteous ! A Post office lorry gunned by me on the end of a dual carriageway then dropped to 40 on the main rd, what an eejit!!

    Once you buy the stuff, it's fuel, food and fees. £20- £36 a day, it's buttons. No more eating out and getting charged tourists prices for umpa lumpa portions!! I am in a field surrounded by scots pone forests yet my home comforts are here and my wife, she usually is stuck in the jeep while we dig holes on a beach. Kids are happy and tired at night, and the front bed of the caravan is huge!!

    Bought 1 last week, on our first caravaning holiday in the highlands. Kids have been playing until 10.30pm, facilities are great and everyone is very friendly and respectfull. It's about 25 degrees, the wife's having a snooze, kids are playing, and I'm chilling

    Your daughter wants to do physical things, you feel she doesn't do enough, and your not encouraging this?? Give her a hug, tell her she's awesome and ask her what day she wants to go shopping for dance shoes, she will pick something that won't be sturdy and good if she gets stuck in a field, or needs to change a tyre keep calm, ask if there's anything pinker and more flimsy and get out your bank card. Come on Pete, get out your huff and just be glad there healthy, life hasn't squashed there dreams yet, slammed doors in their faces and made them scinical:thumbdown: So don't you be the 1 to, your their dad mate.

    Watch your crucial ligaments with those crampons Deano when your swinging the flymo, I twanged mine and had wear a brace for a week. My bankings are to lumpy to walk with, so it's up and down with 25 ft of rope for about 100ms, if it's mega dry then the Scagg deals with it, so been all good in June. The new flymos are great.

    There might be a diverter some where, Follow the pipes at the back of the connections. In plug your tipper, front linkage and anything else hydraulic . If a hose has went in wrong and jammed up, slacken it with a couple of spanners . Don't have any levers in neutral, best get someone in the cab to do them .

    I have diluting vimto in it.

    Fill a volvic bottle half full of water, then jam it between the seat to jam the lever on. If you have an air seat, and you have to jam it against that 1, it will most probably pop out when the seat rises when you stop leaning on it to jam said bottle. You need both pipes in, 1 is a return, 1 is an out. Once you have them Sussex, mark them with colour coded tape.

    Lovely trailer. I looked at a job today with 10 steps up to a front door, 8 steps down a basement, twisty turny wheely bin wide passageway, right angled turn then 12 steps up to a back garden with the biggest overgrown griselina hedge I have ever seen, I mean 40 feet high trees with 3-4 feet multi stem bases. No one has ever managed to do the job. Gave a price , if I get it. Gloria's getting dismantled and humfed and bumped up and down some steps .
  14. Stephen Blair
    Gloria saves the day again

    Eddie your Mog looks great, I never used to like it with that old back body, it's really transformed it. Test cricket, man up and get a Mog!

    For Mendi, I don't want to hijack the other thread. The machine was great on fuel, I mean amazing on fuel! I think in the year I owned it, I filled it about a dozen times, and she would be working all day in 2-3 feet of sludge with a full load. She will lift the fuel bowser with 760litres in it, that's the only measurement I have for you. I reckon about a tonne close in.

    Great she's getting used for what she was built for, the least we used it for was shifting timber, the site goffer indeed!!

    Good job, must be hard going in that heat

    Save yourself a journey, look into my climbing bag, at the top you'll see an old knotted Prussik attached to an even older rope, then delve deeper through into the bag and discover, hitch chord, mechanical stuff and even a figure 8 I used once to pull the Scagg out a ditch!! Then if you dare, stick your hand into the side pocket to feel the entangled mess that was once a throw line and is now a nest of dead Sitka and mars bar:biggrin: Have fun at the show guys:thumbup1:
  21. Stephen Blair
    Well done!!
