Morning all.

kinda of a day off today, albeit that I’ve been working since 7am on my laptop.
Off to Essex for a day out with my parents so hopefully it’ll be nice and relaxing.

Morning from Palermo. Just finishing a fun 5 nights away with glorious sunshine, cool Greek temples, some wine and a kick-*** all night thunderstorm last night.
It's a hilarious place to drive is Sicily.

Morning. Just sipping a coffee watching the sun come up. Looks like today may be a much less windy day (weather wise, I know what you lot are like) so some lazing around I suspect.

Cheers

4 years...Crumbs where did those years go. Was it easy to sell Rossyl....So many unsold in the classifieds as with most V8's. Sounds like trouble free ownership and you enjoyed it. I will have one one day. Look forward to hearing what you do next.

Good morning all.
Good ones, well priced, sell. Sold it in precisely a week between listing it and the new owner collecting. I did have some other potential buyers....but I also had plenty of absolute idiots - I'll give you £20k for it, yeah, jog on!

Will definitely keep you guys informed when something new comes along!

Today ended up being a tour of the Somme battlefields after a short reccy on the canal. Thoroughly enjoyable but i struggled with lactic acid in my arms and chest so cut it short. Great hotel this evening and another lovely meal.

this is believed to be me...

So today was all about checking out L’Apance river with a view to using it on the big challenge as the closest at the crossover point from climbing canals to going with the flow rivers to the Mediterranean. It is a good size river but in it turns out a very neglected state. Benny watched me set off with much hilarity as it wasn’t really deep enough and I quickly needed to exit to get over some stones bits. I did 13km in 3hr 40 min with so many exits from the boat to get past obstacles, many fallen trees and abandoned industry like water mills. This in itself causes problems as in disrepair the gates are not maintained so the levels above are low. Anyway I got cold ad tired ad communications were lacking but Benny took pity on me and found a closer extraction point than planned. Looks like he did some rallying whilst he was waiting!!!
