Steve, Do you have a smartphone with access to latitude? If so I'll give you some details & you can track me

Alan,
I have an iPhone, but not really sure how to use the bloody thing, but I know how to surf the internet with it!
PM me the details and I'll get my lad to help me out! Techno nutter
Steve.
Well we're back, (well Danny might still be on the road with another 6 hours to go) Another good trip had by all (I hope I can say that for the others). Nice to see Colin and Ross come along for the day, pity it was the wet day and Steve came for the first day (Sorry we didn't get much of a run with you). Before any one else says anything, I may as well admit that we had a few minor incidents along the way, overheating problem (Faulty thermostat) lack of gears (Roll pin fell out) flat tyre (slow puncture) indicator bulb not working (hit by a twig) rear lights not working (fuse blown) broken camp site fence (some one ran in to it). Have I missed anything?
Gents it was a pleasure as always, look forward to seeing your posts.
P.S
Talking of posts, don't get making things up (You had to be there).

Yes I'm back as well, had a call from Danny he got to his new home okay. As Steve says cracking weekend, your SLACKERS ought to be ashamed of yourself & should have been there. But talking about cracking, would you like to elaborate on the indicator bulb not working, like where was this 'twig'?

Okay
I might have hit it slightly with a branch, which made it stop working, only trouble was the branch was still attached to the rest of the hedge. As I said, minor incidents (emphasis on the dents). I'm sure some one will put a picture up to explain. Danny seemed to like the same bit of hedge.

Steve I think your summary of incidents covers them all, although I do feel that you tried to bush-a-side the attempt you an Danny made to widen one of the roads by taking out the hedge (resulting the the hedge shortening one of your arches by 6 inches.... (saying that what it took from you, you made up for in other leaves and twigs, that filled up the footwell and everywhere else).
We need to put photos before fixing next time though... It would have been good to have some photos of Danny hitting the fence, and Steve and Danny in the Hedge....
Great weekend though, looking forward to the next one...

Guys thanks for the run on Monday even though is was absolutely peeing down even by Scottish terms it was bad at points.
Really good to put faces to names.
Steve i have to agree with Danny even i couldn't describe any off as "Gracefull" but glad your okay even though you were doing an impersonation of David Bellamy in a hawthorn bush.
In short you stuffed it even if it was the diesel that helped you along the way.
And Danny your parking er sorry avoiding action was oh so lucky to avoid Steve & the hedge.
Yes i got the puncture i know, but hey i managed to avoid the silly old granny in the silver car. NOT, serves her right.
Yes i was the wetest twat without the water proofs by hey hoe all part of the fun.
Ross also says thanks even though we all took the mick when he provided the entertainment at the lampost. I think it may have stopped wobbling by now.
And just to say i have the photos of the corner in question. ( i LOT less greenery, taken from google maps) and the damage.
