Fell off a set of steps, putting my right arm right through the elbow; breaking the joint in 3 places. Hoping to be pinned on Tuesday. Could take at least 4 months to heal. Failing that, I'll do the job myself with a couple of rolls of ducktape.

Sputnik will be grounded. When I get better, if anyone interested, could meet up in the borders: Moffat would be ideal, just off M6.

Ok So I'm back and nearly set to join the real world to earn enough to pay for me next adventure. 

sorry to hear about ya break sputnik. Hope it repairs itself soon and dont prevent ya from driving the satelite for to long.

Good to see youv'e taken the plunge tick,  if I can be of any help just drop me a mail. I will do ya disc for you and Pete over the next couple of days, so will mail ya for ya address's.

Dave, glad you got home ok and maybe we will meet up soon as your only 10 mins away. Enjoyed your families company as we did everyone else's.

Al and Bobbie I hope your problem got sorted, and next time drop us a mail and come down south, there's always a place on my driveway for you and Ray if you need to come down south.

Pete shall we get the next one set up for the summer holidays? maybe in to Wales or even over Lincolnshire where Julie can navigate? Maybee a long weekend Thursday to Monday or Friday- Monday with a different stop each night? Might be a good turnout if it's a weekend during the summer holidays, but lets recover from this one first .

top organisation and I loved Clachtoll !!!  Photos will be uploaded soon and the outside bar and catering service is now unfortunately closed untill next time.

Excellent photo's all round, really sick I could not make it.   Clachtol Beach is now my No1 priority for 2008.

Perhaps the convoy could be made an annual event to make the start of the season.

Oh Well I've still got the Romantic Road in Germany to look forward to.

Depart 06:00am  07 July 07  Dover - Dunkerque  returning 08:01   21 July 07
