Front cover - my photo!

Contents page - my photo as well!

Also a tiny photo *of* me on Page 47 (I'm standing on the bridge with the red rucksack), and several photos of the Discovery.

Exciting!

Not arrived in the post yet, anything to do with the Iceland trip or are you just best mates with someone who writes for LRM?  :D

It's the write up of the Iceland trip.  We got a good spread!  The students are delighted, and the kids of one of the teachers got it as a bedtime story last night :)

I'll look forward to that, maybe it'll be on the mat when I get home from work tonight. It always takes a bit longer to find it's way up here!!  :wink:

Just read the article, looked like you all had a good time.

Like the brake trick at the end, every vehicle deserved to finish in front of the crowd be it's own means.

I bought it yesterday, but haven't read it yet (saving it for the late shift on Saturday)

I was gob-smacked to see it on sale early, usually we don't see it until at least 3days after publication

(first friday of the month)

Fortunately we finished at the top of a hill, so didn't really need heavy braking.  So we unhooked the tow at the bottom of the hill and drove up.  The odd thing was, it looked like the Series III was towing my TD5, because I was on the back end, to do the braking!

I take it that the mention of strange fluids from the breathers, was the same as your post and picture on another thread.

Got one!

It might be a little picture of you on the bridge, but you are the star of the shot.

Well Done!

I had a look today.  :D
Good articles, nice photos.

What sort of journey time are you talking on the ferry from Shetland to Iceland?
