a fairground life
We arrived at Drymen just before 2pm. The ground was soft but we managed to get the skydiver set without skidding. By the time we had started to uncouple the ride the front wheels of the unit had sunk 3 inches into the ground and the lorry would not uncouple. The extra weight of a generator behind the unit cab causes them to sink quickly. We had to tow it out by attaching a chain to another double drive lorry. When the unit was free it did move on its own, just enough to position it behind the ride. The weather was kind and we were all set up for 6pm. The repair to the PVC skirt was a good job and almost invisible. Foden MOT day tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed.

Hello S, My names Bob I used to work for Whites for many years & I remember you as a wee laddie a long time ago, i've been reading all your blogs with delight, but I feel i have to leave you this comment as i look at your photos of you towing your trucks out the mud head on with a chain, In the past i have seen many chains snapping and busting head-lights & lorry radiators & once I seen a rope snap and badly hurt a man, Whites always never use head on trucks for this it's alwasy best to use front to tail.. just thought i'd share this with you, All the best, Bob
