Poptopshed Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 The trip down to Kemble was a pre Beltring warm up run as Grumpy had never took the Militant much more than 5 miles from the yard. In a mad rush it was stripped and painted in the 3 days before we left on Friday then fixed the clutch on Friday afternoon 2 hours before we left in a down pour! http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00066.jpg[/img] Traveled down with Simon Stolly in the TM with his Mog on the back. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00068.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00051.jpg[/img] Grumpys and Militant Grahams together. On Saturday we a had a go at using Grahams 10 ton Recovery Dolly to recover the Militant. Its the first time Graham had used it to pick up something so it was a case of trial and error. :-D http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00053.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00055.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00054.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00057.jpg[/img] All rigged and ready to run to the arena. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00058.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00060.jpg[/img] View from the cab! Other stuff that caught my eye. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00048.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00049.jpg[/img] http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d34/Poptopshed/DSC00050.jpg[/img] Had a cracking weekend, our first time at Kemble. Seeing the Cheiftains running around the arena made me want one even more. :-) Good to meet TooTallMike and Grasshopper the Ward is lovely. See you at Beltring.

martylee Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Great photos of those wreckers! I guess you should have at least one wrecker in your convoy when going on longer trips! ;-) They just might come in handy... Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon stolly Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Cool photos John!! :tup: Did you get any of Grumpy "fishing" with the Mog? (thank God for camo under-crackers!) :shake: Sell the house, live in a Chieftain! The Force is strong in you young Pop Shed, Turn to the dark side!! :evil: Good job they don't come up on Eblag, or do they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poptopshed Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 Didnt get any of the Mog fishing was to busy making sure he didnt lose his catch. Gumpy had a couple of me loading it in the yard and some one must have some from the show. :dunno: Sell the house, live in a Chieftain! Tempting as it may be i would be a pain letting the dogs out! Roll on Beltring! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
