Thanks Ray. I agree - such a useful phrase for so many of us Techenders!

 

Just found these from 2014
It was a bit quieter back then, although the hangover was the same...

Sorry about that - I wanted to use the photo as it is a pretty spectacular piece of bus lifting! I have added a clarification in my blog just in case Eddie reads it.

from the blog,

You would have thought that was enough of an adventure for one trip but this is Simon. On the way home his bus started losing power due to a blocked fuel filter. As he was limping along the motorway a Jeep with a caravan overtook and as it pulled in it seemed that the driver had forgotten she had a caravan in tow and pulled back out suddenly to avoid broadsiding Simon. This caused the caravan to jack knife violently, it overturned and crashed into a little Clio and then the Jeep turned over. Simon went into all action hero mode. He smashed the rear window of the Jeep, which was leaking fuel and beginning to smoke, pulled the semi-conscious woman out and then heard from another passenger that there were two dogs in the back. He went back to rescue a couple of Spaniels and heard a hissing from the caravan. It was a gas canister, boiling hot, which Simon ripped out and flung away over the hard shoulder. Shortly afterwards the car went up in flames.

 

Great weekend , thanks to everyone - just for being themselves really

Surprising thing was how many vans turned up on Friday , good effort !
The ABSOLUTE revelation was how much work got done with almost everyone getting stuck in . Last time we were blessed with good weather people just sat around enjoying the sun and having an ale or three ...

Great to meet friends old and new , roll on September

Wonderful blog @Sick Boy !

 

Bloody hell, is that true?

Fair play.

 

Can u remember when my ball joint snapped 2years ago on way to croyde bay this happened on way home just after Bristol not sort of thing I posted in details

 

Respect to you!

I thought I'd been heroic as there was a lady wrestling with a St Bernard in the middle of the road just now....unlike every other miserable dick who drive around her (some even beeped!) I stopped and asked if she needed a hand.

Transpires it wasn't her dog, she'd found him running in the road.

He was called Ralph, and was still a puppy (think small horse) and had done a runner as the owners gate was unlocked...he was a wicked pup, I'd have kept him no probs, like being licked by a bear!

People like you and that lady make the world a better place.

 

I'm sure most would of done the same thing ......i was in trouble when my bus broke down miles from home few days pria to this with others help on here we located a ramp and the parts and fixed it (snapped ball joint ) and got wife a children to camp site whilst I fixed it all with others help

 

I'm touring with @1973daisey from now on just in case the world ends
