Got a few days off, and ventured into the unknown. Here are some shots along the way :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Although I searched, the ORIGINAL MTT numbers could not be found anywhere on the bus. :(

Be nice if someone could win Tatts, we might be able to do something. There is more preservation material around than we could ever hope to handle.

The bedford that was photographed going though town on a flat tray, is in Colebrook or Campania (I Cant remember which one) its on the right hand side on the main road at the northern end of town, being turned into a camper. The guy has completely resheeted the outside. Worth going up and having a look. There is also a CAC / Bedford on the left hand side behind the service station / store also as you head north.

And any level of conversation would have been something along the lines of ..
Sheep 1: Baaaaa .. Sheep 2: Baaaaaaaaaaa .. Neil: Baaaaaaaaaaa

No worries, more of an afterthought since I invited Mark and Claire weeks ago .. see, its only because I saw you that I remembered I hadn't invited you ..

Expect the 50 to arrive in the next week or so .. will let you know when .. or at least I will post pics so you know it's here ..
