Scotland Return to Aviemore 2024 - Chat and banter thread

[Matt]

Whereabouts? Sounds like a replacement unit would solve problem.

it would if i had one and the trailer wasnt at the side of the m5 just out side of bristol

 

[Matt]

Well done on getting home Matt but sad to lose your trailer.

shit happens mate

 

[Matt]

on the plus side landy didnt miss a beat 1200 miles done

Finally home, just making a cup of tea and getting attacked by the wif and mutts. As much as I enjoy adventure, it's good to be home. Sorry to hear about the trailer @Matt .

The same can be said for the driver, nice job getting us there and back fella.

home now mate had to leave trailer on the side of the m5 ... the stub axle was worn down to nothing (scrap)

Dare I say this @Matt

Those little trailers are handy bits of kit.....ideal for up and down to the dump shifting garden rubbish and the likes.....but loading it with kit and traveling ni on 1300 miles might be a bit of an ask?

Maybe next time....add a set new bearings for the journey up ( which you did ).......replace/change them with another new set to come home....regardless........also have another set as back up as well.

Might be worth thinking of something a little more heavy duty buddy......not necessarily bigger just more heavy duty.

Glad you managed to get home safe and sound

Don't blame you at all mate......aggravation and worry not needed.....additional fuel consumption on long journeys to think about to

Ohh well.....look on the bright side.......more room in the garden now

tarps out on the line airing out as well as tha hammock tent. will get that dry and will then do photos of what bit failed

Apparently parts of Scotland got up to 19 degrees C today which would be about par for the course considering that Matt was there last week… The sun always comes out after he’s packed up and gone.

The sun came out yesterday when Daniel and I were driving out of the site! Typical!
