Pauline isn't 100% keen on going - but will if it's really necessary. Stems from the "issues" we had on the first few days of the holiday

so did you ignore her directions and get lost then? or scare her half to death with your driving? :lol:

Gords,
The Adventure course is the only one that you don't have to queue up for hazards on (yawn), and also is suitable for the kids, and we like to have a good time .... no stress, no peer pressure, just a nice saunter around the greenlanes of France and Belgium :-)
Have done Extreme more times than I need to now, and the last time we basically got 1/3 of the roadbook done b4 we returned at 3am to tackle the "campsite" ;-)
With adventure at least we get to the whole course :-)

Neither, you cheeky monkey [-X
TomTom was doing the directions (when we weren't in a group) and it was mostly me that was scared by the 1000's of feet drops which were quite often only a foot or two away :shock:
On one particular occasion, we were on a narrow, rocky track with lots of tight bends - and a seriously large drop off the drivers side. Coming round one bend I meet a lunatic cyclist coming the other way. He seemed to be very insistant that I use the last remaining 2 feet of track, in order that he can continue his decent at madman speed.
Unfortunately, I decided against putting the wheels of my 2+ ton Discovery right on the edge, so he had to slow down ... unfortunately again, I didn't have chance (or the balls) to take my hand off the steering wheel to return the hand gesture he gave me. Shame he wasn't a mind reader though :wink: :lol:

we went along some deep ravines in the dales in yorkshire on hols , the drop was on her side though :lol: and she,s not keen on heights :D
not as good as my father following a mountain track in an artic in italy, rounding one bend discovers road has slipped down the hill leaving a large hole :shock: he had to wait for a bulldozer to push the road back up and hold it while he drove over and carried on :shock:

That's our encampment from 2002 I think (or 2003!). You can just see Piglet's nose behind Alans silver Disco ;-)
And then there's Owens red Disco, Neil's blue one I think, and Georges green 'un ;-)

I think it was 2003 Neil, we were camping with the Yorkshire Off Road Club about two camps nearer the food tent!! :D
Gord, we're catching the overnight ferry from Hull and normally get to the campsite at about 11am, returning on the Monday night ferry. I've not spoken to any of the Yorkshire lot yet but, if they are going this year, then we'll be camping with them again. What ever happens we'll be over to see you lot at some point during the the weekend. :D
