Big thanks to Paul for sorting a route out. Best lanes ive ever ever ever done :) Nige managed to get his OSF wheel about 5 foot in the air, and we'd only been going for 10 mins! Wicked day out, absolutely bolloxed now. Left at 8.30, got back at 5.30, and did just shy of 300 miles and didnt really stop much all day! 90 did not miss a beat. Well worth it - Thanks Nige and Paul Stange Edge in the summer then :) http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VOoFELEr79w Thats not us, but we did that one, and it was wicked!

It was ace & the P38 is so much better off road than you can imagine. There is a frig you do to put it into extra height mode too. Get some AT tyres on it now & away I go, better get the bearing sorted quick, mind you. Cheers boys, Girls & all. The one great thing about the P38, it's as comfy as a Rolls Royce, so no tiredness ;)) SignatureNige, talking utter shite since 1967.

Heheheh, yeah. Must be one of the best days laning I've had in a while, certainly a bit of everything from rocks to sand to mud and ruts, most excellent. Thanks to Andy for the routes he had, Roych Clough is just brilliant and a _MUST DO_ lane for anyone in the area. Some pics here .. http://www.flickr.com/photos/35295373@N00/ Been home since 5, stopped at a McDonalds for the kids and absolutely nackered, hence had a cuppa and a sandwich after getting in. ;) Damn right for Stanage. We didn't attempt it today in deference to Nige's RR and the general slippery/dangerous conditions. Had to be me that got stuck again .. but getting rid of the ballast meant it popped out easy enough ... ;) Cheers Nige and Mark, a great day out.

For anyone interested I've also put some screendumps of the routes I proposed and the actual routes taken today.

Do i need GPS to run it etc? Yeah. There's loads these days with built-in GPS antenna, like mine (Mitac Mio 168) but mine's mega-old and is crap really, that's why I missed the turning at the bottom of Pinfold ... GPS lagged, due to trees and valley bottom. Newer chipsets (Sirfstar III are 'best') work far better with better battery life. Or you could get one with Bluetooth and add a GPS antenna, cheap enough on ebay etc but I've only ever used the all-in-one thing. ;) I'll have a look later and see what's currently 'good' and post back. Have a look yourself actually, http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/ is a great website/resource and Darren who runs it often posts on Usenet.

I have an HP iPAQ HX2790 and the Sirfstar III Bluetooth TomTom GPS Rx. TomTom is TomTom but I have Navio (free from a software offer that came with the PDA) for doing "proper" waypoint location stuff. This gives bearing and distance etc as well as plotting your position on a scanned in map (once you've told it at least two reference points. The GPS Rx still doesn't like tree cover, as in being in a wood, very sluggish compared to being in the clear when it can get put you within a 10' radius of a given set of co-ordinates. The diary and contacts stuff in the PDA don't hold a candle to my old Psions. It occasionally gets it's knickers in a twist and the WiFi won't connect or an application will lock up. But hey this is Windows so we can't expect anything other than that, both the poor applications, poor OS and no indications/logs as to why its fupped up again.

I believe the undercarriage of the D2 and P38 are pretty much identical, so what fits one should fit the other. Still seems odd with the diffs on the "wrong" side though. When I was looking, the only AT tyres that would fit the P38 HSE were Grabber AT2s (came out days after I had fitted a new set of Wranglers). Maybe the other manufacturers have caught up by now.

No serious botty problems here but certainly gripes and pains in the gut. The main diagnostic features of influenza are the rapid knock down (hours) into bed for a couple of days with bad muscle and joint pain, fever (mild to high), headache and gastric problems. The common cold doesn't knock down particularly quickly, rarely puts otherwise fit and healthy people into bed, only has mild muscle/joint pain and doesn't have much affect on the gut.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > into bed for a couple of days with bad muscle and joint pain, fever (mild > to high), headache and gastric problems. Sounds exactly like my version, especially the joint pain, up until yesterday morning I never really believed anyone could die of flu. It's the worse I have ever experienced, all the other times I thought I had flu I must have had a severe version of the common cold, as you detail below. Thanks for the info, ironically I can't sleep now having been in bed for most of the last few days, hence posting at six in the morning. Being an asthmatic I have an annual flu jab, this years obviously didn't work. > The common cold doesn't knock down particularly quickly, rarely puts > otherwise fit and healthy people into bed, only has mild muscle/joint pain > and doesn't have much affect on the gut.

Yeah, we found that, seven 'proper' certs required altogether. You'd think that all these departments could cross-reference with each other and that for this search a photocopy should suffice.
