Enjoy your day. I'll phone your employers to confirm you won't be in. :twisted: Not that I'm envious!

Have a great day! Brilliant place... Look out for the pieces of my broken soul on the Twister

lawson_m20

Wow! I had a great day . Great weather, good trails and trailpuppet's experience and knowledge were invaluable.

"Kirry" will definately be on the top of my list next time I am free.

The bruises are starting to appear now but I've just dosed up on Ibuprofen so hopefully I won't be too sore tomorrow.

I'll definately post on here next time I go.

Cheers, John
