Al, as Dave is in Holland having to steal people's internet to get online... i believe he wont be able to make the inlands!
i was planning on going in my i14 a couple of weeks back but got to go on a lifeguard course this week with a exam on Saturday for FREE . so that meant i couldn't go plus my boat is currently in pieces lacking fittings.

we will be at the Slammer however for 3 weekends, wiggling the stick on Dave's B but not able to do the 30th.

Another thing to remember when reversing is to do it on tick over then as the trailior starts to do something wrong then you have time to correct it,But the best in someone elses club is to unhitch.

As for towing when you are driving normally on main roads the trailior will be fine & when on the bendy stuff drive to the outside of the bends ( right hand bends keep left ) that way the trailior will always be in your lane.

Try & do the main braking in a straight line & the trailior will stay straight & safe.

Overall it`s not that hard unless top gear are doing it.

A ski test, um, how fast can you go down a mountain before crashing?
