Have a great trip Paul - you must have had to strain a lot of chip oil through your lasses tights to get enough fuel for this one! No doubt you'll tell us all about it at Thursday's West Riding REOC Branch meeting. I'll lend you the new Gordon May book which I bought at Stafford because I know that you, at least, return books!
Have fun

Hi Noel - Isle of Wight with 45 kids is where I have been! That's why the weather was so good because I was nowhere near my bike - Sods Law! I'm back to whatever passes for normality now, so I will be there on Thursday. See you then.
