we made it
The blitz's made it home through the high country, but Mark had a spot of trouble with his old truck. he is organising a recovery trip. Two days from home we had to change a water pump on the Ford, but we didn't get a very good seal and it was leking fairly badly. for a start we would only get 7 or 8 miles and have to top it up and then it improved to about 12 miles so we found the best method was to lean over through the manhole lift the bonnet and fill her up on the go, this method was best achieved going up hil whilst going slow and you should have seen the look on one fellow coming the other way whilst I was leaning over filiing her up. We are all a little bit tired now after this adventure and I must go and unpack now and bring in the washing.
