Great, we will pop up and say hello

Top job, see you both then, then

Same problem you have, cars are washed but we have a muddy lane to contend with to get to the main road

Just arrived. Weather - mmm! Rain. Clouds. Mist! Hope somebody is praying to the weather gods for tomorrow.
Would do it myself but we have an urgent appointment in the bar

Not going to happen! Your too high up see and the hills tear holes in the clouds which lets all the water out.

Overall it looks OK mate, the odd chance of a short shower over the length of the route.

One more sleep

 

[Grumps]

I'll be going along the A66 about 6:30pm. Will keep an eye out

To late mate. Got back to Mansfield about 5.

 

[Grumps]

I'd pay good money to see a truck get up and over Hardknott

I'd give it a good go mate

 

[Grumps]

I like a challenge
Can't let a little fact like the gap is narrower than your vehicle get in the way.

Could be a problem Ian. If I hit it fast enough it might come through the other side! This is what happened to one of ours a fortnight back trying to squeeze under a bridge. He did come out the other side before stopping!

That must have been a seriously low bridge. Doesn't look like it would have been much higher that the cab to start with.
Far more embarrassing to wedge it under a bridge and have all the cavalry out to view your handiwork.
