plus that was the lowest temp as it did go up to around -10, so not too bad.
we used hand pump trucks, not got a full fork lift license yet surpose to be doing it in the near future with morrisons |
I used to work in a farm (i have a fork truck license) and we had to load the trailers up with pallets of produce within cold storage...the floor was always wet and slippy.....we had a new lad start who had just gained his fork license and he tried to copy us by doing a 360 degree spin before entering an isle between shelving made of dexion.....the silly pratt hit the leg of the dexion and all the shelves fell down like a pack of cards.....i never laughed so much in my life......a/ we told him not to try it........b/ needless to say he lost his job.

Maloo, I'm recommending Mavic XM719 rims on Hope Pro II hubs and DT Competition spokes from Merlin. Costly at about £170 and the Hope Hub should have a cassette with an Alloy carrier (Shimano XT or above or high end SRAM), OR replace the alloy freehub with a steel one. both options cost about the same but changing the Freehub will give you more options and will last a lot longer.

No idea where that is mate. I do recognise the swoopy berm section that Mick refers to in his earlier post tho.

Sorry, edit, Worry Gill is the biggest drop we saw today, at the bottom of the set of log drops & the downhill below it.

Had my first experience of the new trail (red route) at Cannock Chase today. I'd been on the old trail a fair bit and always enjoyed it and didn't really know what to expect with the new one and to be honest it's brilliant. Have to say the lads/lasses that put all the time and effort in to building it all have done an amazing job (hats off to them) and the end product is superb. I had a slight fall, got a couple of minor cuts on my right knee (must invest in knee pads and you should definitely take them when you go if you have any) but other than that had a cracking few hours there. Going again on Monday !! You will have a blast on the 15th, i would like to be there but i'm on kiddie watch while the mrs is at work. Can't make the June ride either, going away on the 26th for a week but i'm determined to get to one of the rides and meet you all.
