David Todd Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Now, somewhere you have not been, the far land's. The video,follow's the Headshunt from Dover Town Yard. In reality, it used to terminate at the stops,at Shakey Tunnel, but, I have decided that it will be extended, to new boards,along the internal block wall,of the internal garage.(with central heating already installed). There will be this entrance/exit to Dover Town Yard and anther entrance/exit to Dover Priory. Interruption in the first part of the vid. is due to dead stags frog's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAY02IqH1ZI 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still a lot of exhibtionists who swear by it, Andy P prior to Jason making track for him swore by it so I believe..... We used it on our fiddle yards, as we have a metre or two of the stuff too....... just can't resist taking a dig at DT.........he can take it LOL....... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

runs as required Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Wow! Enjoyed that. Not too clear when that was - or why. It appears near the end that Cancellara was simply catching back up with the peleton. I remember you telling me you used to do that round the back of us. From Prudhoe station (by Ovingham bridge) up to Hedley-on-the-Hill/Whittonstall - and vv. dh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, it was my wrists and hands. It really got the old arthritis singing. Being without a car life is very challenging these days.

I really don't know how he didn't come off, when the motor-bike took the apex and he was set to go round it at a speed he had already committed to and a couple of near ones with cars later on. .

jcredfer Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Every sympathy for the wrists and hands, very debilitating indeed. Use of hands, back and feet are never really thought about - until something happens to their function. Joking aside, it was my wrists and hands. It really got the old arthritis singing.

For me, it's railway stuff and nowt else in future - and no "humour". I've always been known for my weird sense of it, which is OK face to face, but not so online, soooooooo...
