Three Mk2's and a MK1 did the trip. Another MK1 started but only lasted a day due to tech issues.
Very good event and we had a fantastic time. The reaction from the Dutch people was incredible and it was a humbling experience, I'm very glad I was able to take part. More later..... Lots of pictures to follow. Ben |

Was going to say... I was in a carrier for the majority of the event and we went everywhere . By the end of the event, the remaining four carriers made a small carrier section and went everywhere together which was awesome. ! The people clearly had a soft spot for them as the cameras all came out as we passed, flowers and cakes thrown into the vehicle... An awesome experience ! On the race to the bridge we deviated from the column and spent the day at Driell before stopping at our LUP at John Frost bridge.... Which ultimately put us first in the column and first over the bridge.
The plod blocked us in and one Sherman got past, but Marc and I squeezed by and made a run for it. Just as Adrian had a tech issue pulling over (and blocking Shaun's carrier in) I think it was Adrian anyway.... I didn't look back for fear of 28tonne death.

Yeah... I bet ! I thought I was getting the signal to move out into lane 1 by Marc's commander, I began the move off and looked left to see a knarly big sprocket and Ben shouting "right right right" so I dropped a cog and nailed it away from impending death.
Did you get her sorted in the end mate ?
