June. I carried out an oil & filter change and then it was just down to some normal motoring. Not much else to say really. The car was running well and seemed very settled.

Newark Show - Always a good Show this one, with lot's of outside stalls where you can get all manner of bits & bobs. There's also a good display from the manufacturers in the halls too.

I'd treated myself to a new sleeping bag after realising that the one I had was a summer one, probably for somewhere like Africa too! My new one is of the 3 Season variety - Toasty!!


July saw me take a trip over to the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power. This is the North West's answer to the Goodwood Festival of speed. Not too many Hoody's turned up to this, but it was a very good show. All sorts of powered machinery - Land (2, 3 & 4 Wheeled), Water & Air! Much to see and a Petrol Head's heaven.


August. The bottom Hose developed a split, so a trip to my local Motor Factors was in order. I managed to get a universal one, but even that needed to be extended (just like to original one) and all was well again.
