Anyone Interested in a Trailer Relay???

[Alistairr]

The trailer is finally ready. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not sure if its still on, but a few regulars thought about doing a type of relay to get the trailer north (here) , if it happens great. If not then I will make the trip down to Southampton to pic it up in the next few weeks.

So what do you think?
Do you think we can setup the 'Great Forum Trailer Relay'?? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Anyone interested, please feel free to post here, or if you prefer feel free to PM me.

The trailer has had a pretty major overhaul.
2 new axles, complete with brakes, wheels and tyres a new winch strap, and complete new hitch and brake assembly as well as a few other bits and bobs.

The trailer is currently sitting at Bursledon, Nr. Southampton.
Thanks to Nick for all his efforts with the trailer.

Here are some new pics of it courtesy of Solitaire./forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm up for a stretch.

I live in Mid Cheshire alongside the car park known as the M6.
So depending on whether you choose the East face of the UK, or the West face I can do Brum to Preston-ish.

It also depends when you want it doing as I sometimes have to wash my hair.

Couldn't you enter it in the "2008 Round Britain (except for the hard bits & not too far) Offshore Powerboat Race"?

 

[Major Catastrophe]

Just occurred to me. Strap it to the underside of Arny's boat and he can drop it off on the way round.

Fantastic, Thanks Hugh.
I will obviously take part in this relay, so i will pick it up from you at Carlisle./forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

All we need to do now is try and fill in the area in the middle. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Major, are you able to do a stretch to Preston then?

Not sure where from at the moment, we've got it as far as Stratford on Avon.

I've said it before, it is a fantastic community, and has always been very good to me. Thankyou.

Just to fill in the bit from Stratford on Avon to Cheshire, now.
Any takers?

PM sent but if the Major will go to Stratford area, I am not restricted to Preston, mid Cheshire is just as easy to even up the journeys.
Any evening except Monday any time at weekends except when England are winning the grand slam (again)

Yes. Preston-ish, is quite close to Preston! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I can store in Mid-Cheshire, if someone can do Stratford to Junc 18.

Ho Ho gauntlet on table time. How about a fiver to the RNLI on the Calcutta Cup? I am bringing a team of U 15s to Biggar rugby club for that fixture, a long standing tradition between Biggar and Carlisle that started last year.

I reckon you should rig a temporary mast and fly the Forum burgee.

Sure beats the Olympic torch thingy, doesn't it ! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Ramage]

Guys, please take pictures of trailer & forumite on each leg. It will make a brilliant post when it is done!
