AlienZed, there’s a long history of PBondar, cars and water...from floating down a river having failed to cross a deep ford in a Chrysler Sunbeam, through to getting a TR7 beached on a Normandy beach with an incoming tide amongst many highlights..so a little set of puddles on one of our Scottish Borders runs is small beer..
Hi there, actually we have lots of roads that are ‘sky launchers’ but not many ‘sump bathers’..the road parallel to Hadrian’s Wall is definite a sump basher..of course for every ‘sky launch’ comes a landing...the trick is to depart the crest really fast to maintain a nose high attitude through the flight..
Sounds like a plan, im short on excitement at the mo, when shall i comePbondar wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 9:43 amAlienZed, there’s a long history of PBondar, cars and water...from floating down a river having failed to cross a deep ford in a Chrysler Sunbeam, through to getting a TR7 beached on a Normandy beach with an incoming tide amongst many highlights..so a little set of puddles on one of our Scottish Borders runs is small beer..

Sounds great Peter but I'm not keen on the idea of a picnic in the woods if you're going to be wearing the Atacama mankini !Pbondar wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 11:45 am I'm looking at doing something once we have a bit of clarity and maybe a few less hiccups like the Dumfries issue..obviously many remain concerned about COVID /social distancing etc.. so I'm trying to look at a 'Socially Distanced Weekend' where we avoid most of the gotchas..pondering how to do it..in the Scottish Borders its likely to be easier than elsewhere..probably restricted to not more than 10 cars on any one day..so lunchtime stops at picnic tables in the woods etc..bring a brolly type event..plus Thermos!
