Just landed back in the north of Scotland after a great weekend at BB15 in Frickley. Had planned pressure washing her when I got home but driving the last two and a bit hours in heavy rain took 99% of the underslung mud/clay/shale etc away - result!
Frickley - A fantastic venue with something for everyone. Brutal pits, deep mud and seriously rutted tracks that tested even the heaviest modded trucks. Plenty of choice for the standard truck or less adventurous (me) as well - so all in all, a great location for the annual ITOC outing.
Big thanks to all involved in the organising (a massive task well executed), for the catering (Dan the sponsor and the charcoal crew), for the giving freely of information to those less knowledgeable and for getting stuck in with the repairs to those trucks that needed them. Seriously well done all of you.
My personal thanks to Dave G for the nifty new fog light (you'll all be wanting one) and to Rhanager for the idiots guide on removing the excess vac pipes & removing the QWS assembly.
If funds allow, I'll definitely be at BB16.

How far did you have to travel ?
I had a good run back 220 miles in 5 hrs with one quick stop and the tin tent on the back |
A round trip of 1829 kilometres or about 1140 miles including an overnight stop in Glossop on each leg. |
Do you see the "Northern Lights" from where you live ? _________________ Khotso........... |

The Northern Lights are a regular event up here during autumn & winter months, strongest in January. Once you get away from the built up areas, what few there are - there's an almost nightly show of varying intensity - ranging from faint and a bit bland to fantastic arcs and rippled curtains of green, red & blue. Great to see, but as with the spectacular scenery round every corner, they just become part of everyday life. |

I really want to see the lights, we are told they are visible as far south as Lancaster but light pollution is always a problem.
I get email advance notifications, even had a chance of sightings as far down as here in Lancs... Never seen anything though....we should have a Big Bash Northern Lights meet!
And as Ted sed....just where are you? _________________ 1999 3.0 TD Duty SWB

Back in the old days, at motorbike rallies, a prize was always awarded to the person who rode the farthest....you would have won hands down! _________________ 1999 3.0 TD Duty SWB
