Don't think we'll make it today. Good luck to your other half. Depending on the fog, she may or may not be able to see the ground when she jumps off. :shock: :lol: 8)

A guy I know used to abseil off the bridge to get his fish and chips and an ice cream, and then climb back up the rope again to work. Sounds like fun!

Suspension is much better, and would recommend the Air Assistors, what an improvement, the raised springs also made a difference. Saved a bit of money too as Elaine was wanting to buy to by some sports bra's if the suspension did not improve. :)
