That is the GWOA Midlands Rep. Mark who is in the pics was on the trip too but unfortunately G-less. There should of been a second G as well.

As I understand it, the one breaks down before you go, the other breaks down when you get back, Mark can enlighten.

Well at least he got most of the way back.... What is it with Mark and needing trailers? Is this not the third or fourth time?

Cheeky monkey

Like all the finnest things in life, G's and LC's should only be compared round a campfire with a few beers

There both great when they work, and there both a pain when they don't
