I have ridden with Campbell on a few occassions and all I can say is he is a very cautios rider and it just goes to show that the loose stuff can catch even the best of us out.If your reading this Campbell I hope your ride home was less eventfull.One day I wll actually sit down with someone and work out how to get pictures from my iphone or laptop onto the forum...evidently its real easy ...Yea right !!!
Yes Dave good to catch up. My camera/phone is not well but I did score a couple of pics off Terry (see other post). And if you look at the time these posts were written you will understand why there are two. 8) As for posting your pics take a look at the explanation written by Alex in the Help Files and you will find it easy I promise.M.
So sorry to hear about Campbell and as you say Dave he is a very careful rider who I have ridden with in some atrocious conditions with never a problem so its good to hear that all is basically well.I really enjoyed the ride yesterday after having only been out on the bike for an hour or so in the past few weeks in between the pissistant rain.
