Still alive....
Posted: Fri Jan 27, 2012 5:14 pm
Awfully nice of Tramp to PM me just to see if i was still alive. I am, just. Haven't been on in what seems like an eternity due to various constraints.
3 weeks in america November / December.
A public holiday called christmas.
A series of various flu illnesses, some of which I highly reccomend, especially if you have to go to work still.
Busy ish at work.
Then last week and this is just some useless info. In a wagon it takes 52 hours to drive from darlington to dover, sail to calais, transit france via st quentin, reims, dijon, lyon, scoot across the alps thru the Frejus tunnel (446 euro return, personally i found it a bit expensive, but i wasnt paying). Down to torino, hang a left via milan and burgamo and tip 30 mile north of bergamo. 112 miles south to fabbrico, near modena, to collect tractors. And return. with a quick stop at newark to tip the tractors and go back to darlington. Total time is give or take and hour or 2, 6 and a half days.
Theres also the small issue of having done naff all to my SJ as the garage has been freezing cold and due to the holiday to america and the newly booked holiday to helsinki (long way to see motley crue, but who cares) I am slightly skint!
I shall do my utmost to get on a bit more, just for the crack.
