We are all getting older Zac and he is not as fit as us so we have to offer all the help we can in order to have a great time out for us all to enjoy what we can in our later years, Rick

A sad truth Rick, if I can make a weekend out as enjoyable for everyone else as it is for me then that makes me happy.

I just hope when I'm older and less able, someone comes and does the same for me, if we're not all driving electric shit by then

If we can help in any way mate let us know, I'd love to see you along, no expectations of you to get in and out the truck, we'd deal with all the gates etc and I think Rick and Mags are staying in a B&B, maybe you could join them in there for comfort?

Happy to accommodate for a slower pace to get your face out and about with us.

I second that Zac, if he did not want to drive to the plains he could come in with us, Rick
