LOL, I cant do the show now, sorry but I have the horses to do.

Have a bit of a plan for the Sunday afternoon though. There are a few lanes fairly local that are showing on trailwise but would probably benefit from walking first as I think the comments are from bikers. Trouble is they are on steep hills and I dont fancy walking up them

My idea is take a couple of vehicles with two drivers. Take it in turns to get out at the top and walk down while vehicles goes round the road. If they are OK we could then drive up them

Might even reclaim my dog (she has moved in at my uncles

) for the day.

Zip has provisionally agreed to this, anyone else interested. Oh and we could try the ford which TimandMick keep posting pics of on the North Yorks thread.

So what area are you doing this weekend then Sue?
Hope that the weather is good for the day as not had a invite lol.
Really looking forward to the end of the month camping (not really)

Not your sort of trip Brian, just a few of us going round the lanes we know. Didn't advertise it on here it was arranged privately.

a) It was next Sunday, the day after Jacks party, not this weekend. But there is no reason why it couldn't be this weekend

b) On the North Yorkshire thread, do keep up

The ford at Brighouse was highest I've seen it in a while last night. Although I think it was only about 9 inch max.

Saw a fender having a few runs through it as well.

Right off out to fit my new headlight. The old one was sealed beam and you cant buy those anymore. Neil showed me how to fit the sealed beam one, so I just need to know if ones with a bulb are different. Does it matter which way the bulb goes etc

Should be self explanatory when yu look at it. Unscrew the rim and separate sb unit from it by undoing lttle screw clamps. Attach new reflector to rim, and replace unit. The bulb will most likely only fit the right way up, and reflector will say top, or similar on it.

its been out and two second hand sealed beam lamps fitted, unfortunately either main beam was boogered or dip didn't work on the other.
so WE refitted the original, to change at a later date

I know the feeling, I got tired of the growing pile of dead sealed beams in me shed

So I got the Wipac lights, the bulbs still blow, but cheaper than sb, and a little brighter as well.
