sorry I didn't see this and have just posted up a new thread for the 26th of February - see here If you chaps fancy it - add your names to the thread...

Nick - If I'd known you were going off road - I'd have come along on the Husky for some mud fun...

Wish i could say "fair play," but there's a fine line between bravery and foolhardiness, and I think you just crossed it today!

Yeah, I was a bit worried about having a second cup of coffee. Those cups definitely did not look clean to me. Next time I will be more cautious.

There is no direct road to West Peckham Ford

Have you done the one at Wateringbury? Off the main A26. Not tried it myself. I tend to have a possee of road bikes with me so mud and shit like West Peckham a no-no.

Don't bother with any of the East Kent fords (Bekesbourne etc) as there is no water in them, well there wasn't on February 5th.

Final lesson - don't ride with you flip-up helmet open as you go under low hanging trees. (no photo of this either)

So do I win the stupid GS'er of the day award ?

Nick,

I think you have captured the true spirit of what GSing is all about

Stupid Sir, Me Sir, No Sir

I assume you will also be volunteering for Bill's next trip to Gambia on mini motos in the rainy season at night, will you?
