Here's out illustrious leader Bill/Fanum, always smiling and full of confidence 'before' entering a ford :) :)

Possibly due to the collective willpower of all us onlookers, it begins to go TITS UP much to our delight as photo opportunities take priority over lifegueard duty :D

In fact the cavalry were kept quite busy :D :D

But to be fair the ford was so slippy we couldn't even stand up :eek: of course our brave leader pressed on regardless :mmmm

The rest of us said something like "Feck that" :thumb
