Awesome hobbies! Dig the Rally Racing and the Trials Bike. Wish we had it closer to where I live. Anxious to check out your travels, Andy.


Just got back from travels out West with the family. Had a great time. One day included a 10 mile hike through fantastic desert landscape in 100 degree weather. Glad we were prepared.

Otherwise, home maintenance, kid's sports, general exploration/travels and my old Jeep constantly keeps me in check.

Plenty of updates on my facebook page.
Andrew Buckell (it's all public)

If you are gon'a have a read through can i suggest you scroll back to the start as FB updates make the trip read backwards as you read down the page!
Do you have a link you can post? I tried searching but could not find. I don't have a FB account so I was wondering if that is why.

:wavey

Been travelling up from Berkshire in the motorhome, stopping in Lincolnshire, Alnwick and for the last couple of nights Dunbar - overlooking the Firth of Forth with the Kingdom of Fife on the far shore, beyond the Bass Rock and the May Island.

Looking forward to getting out on the water next week (weather and tides permitting) as the first chance to try out my new setup, which I left stored up here after acquiring it back in March. Hope to have some pics to post over the next few weeks.

:cheers

Today I did something way out of my comfort zone. I had a salad for lunch. It had fruit in it. Stupid restaurant screwed up my order, big time :evil: . At least it was free. Now I'm going to have to go home and wash it down with bacon and gravy.

I bought a bedrug for my Navara about 4yrs ago (cos it was mega cheap on fleabay)
I've just got round to fitting it today, and I have to say... WOW

The old Bed Liner was hard on the knees
