Another late text from Dave, I reckon the Fire Service get more notice to attend things, saying "Anyone up for a play in the dirt? xx" (always get 2 kisses from Dave although PJ gets 3??
)
So it was to be, Aggs Quarry near Cheltenham

Great little place, good for first timers like me, Sean and Dave, intermediates like PJ and off road Gods like Alex and Mav. Easy to park up, have a brew,fag,Red Bull, practice ice skating moves(only Alex) and come and go as you please so there's no stress trying to keep up like green laning. Oh, and the place is full of abandoned fridges/matresses and, bizzarly, unused condoms although I think PJ picked them all up saying he was doing his bit to clean up the country side.
Sean had some pointers from Dave on how to stay on (which is probably why he fell off twice in the car park
)
Everyone had great fun, I lent Sean my DR so he could practice without dropping his BM, it wasn't the 2 bust indicators or the bent clutch lever that I minded but he'd ridden off with my Ginsters Ham and Cheese still on the back.
After everyone had thrashed all the bikes it was off to the pub for the usual debrief and grub where upon Alex told us all about all the nasty broken bones he's had off roading, it was so off putting I had to leave my salad.
Mav insisted I join the high tech internet revolution and upload the pics to photobucket so here goes

Thanks to everyone for a great bit of fun, no pics of me jumping, was it because:
A: I can't
B: I was too high to get focus
C: Not one of the selfish buggers offered to take a pic

) Was good to meet Shaun and Mav 
I was impressed by everyones riding and I mean everyone 
Was great to have a go on Mav's HP2 (even though I was sh*ting it about riding it 
) 
All followed by entertaining banter at the pub
