HI
Yesterday was the date off the long awatied Weymouth 31 meet. In attendance were H-O-W & Sprinter both have a connection in there names with the Line.
We met up at Westbury at 08.00 for the GNER HST. My Camera put itself on standby (tell me next time) so I didn't get a pick off it. Sprinter was doing heads out all the way there along with James. I was doing some "Earwigging" as the people sat infront are regs. Apparently they are doing the old Weymouth diagram 27th Aug + pos for Weymouth Carnival. Once in Weymouth we walked along the platform & took some pics. We wen't to 31601 to do the same & all off us got in the cab. :P . I got some great pics.
We wen't to the bus depot (outside) & took some pics then a bloke came & said he didn't want us to without asking in the office FIRST(pun) (Unrepetable words spoken behiond his back) We then got a Dennis Dart (allocated to 31's) to Portland. When we got there, we went to a spot were you can take pics off busses going up the hill with Chisal Beech in the Background. Saw ex Baths W809 UMA on number 1!!! Also was W377 EOW!!!. The place we wen't was hilly. It was like speed humps. Later on we played a cool game called bus trials.
We got a Crusador to Portland Southwell then a Olly to The bill.
*HAD PUB LUNCH
We then got a 501 back (BRISTOL VR!!!) to Portland Hotel (The humps) We done some walking (Jim fell over). We then got to a point & picked a bus. Then you had to make the noise off that bus & drive it round a steep course.
*Sprinter was a DENNIS ARROW :roll: . He charged down the downhill bit. Went round the Rock then when coming back... FELL INTO A BUSH!!!! After that he carried on going then CRASHED AGAIN. This time on a speed Hump (tripped over a stone) He had an oil leek (cut) He finished the course in 3.29 mins.
*H-O-W. It was time for H-O-W SOLO next. He done the course perfectlly with no crashes or wrong turns. finished in 2.29
*Dad. He was a man pushing a wheelbowrow & went the wrong way He said "My wheel was wonky" He finished it in 3.27
*I was an EOW Volvo & walked the course because a carred for the passengers. If anyone wants to know my love off EOW Volvos & why then MSN me & I will explain.
We got EOW back to Weymouth. Went to the beer shop.
Went home
VERY GOOD. PICS ON MY FOTOPIC
