CheeRS lad its just a shame its so far to go & also we had alot of gear in to cars like ruck sacks folding chairs etc & when you drive there its always in the back of your mind when hanging it out round bends you've got to drive back home without stuffing it & getting a whopping bill if you damage the armco etc

What power were you running there?
You can easily go under 9m watching your corner apex and speed
