+mongoose39uk Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Well there I was having a nice tootle along early this morning along one of Tom Toms special lanes (I had driven it before so want too worried). When I erm, got a little stuck. Anyway, I think to myself " Oh dear I appear to be a little stuck", the sploshing noises around my ankles were a little disconcerting. So Mongers tries to think (not easy as anyone who has met me will tell you) of a way out of this little predicament. I know, I will phone Pengy and Tigger. Unfortunately they don't have a tow rope but suggested Lollybob who have a four by four with a winch. Cool, no worries. I ring Lolly and even better they are only a couple of miles away (doing the caches i was on my way to do. Anyway, thanks to them I was home less than two hours after my little incident, having had a bath and warmed up a little. Think I will give caching a miss today though (still need to dry the inside of the car). A Big thank you to Lollybob - I definitely owe you a few beers the next time I see you! Quote Link to comment

Helen in Mustardland Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Blimey - and I thought you were both blokes but it seems you drive like wimmin /me runs for the hills! Run faster, Simon! LOTS faster. When did any woman ever drive this badly? Ok I am VERY glad nobody took a picture when i drove through a 2' deep ford in my Almera and filled the air inlet with water whilst cache setting last month. I blame tomtom, that Australian bloke told me to do it. LOL Quote Link to comment
+LollyBob Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 No problems Tony, just glad that we could help you. Bob loves being able to use his winch to drag cachers out of a sticky problem. Got some great photos of tonys wet bum too! Will add a photo when I get back from work. F.A.B.. THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO! Quote Link to comment

+LollyBob Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 When I saw the road where Tony got stuck I thought...only a mad man would attempt to drive down there....But we were talking about his majesty King Mongers...King of the road! Charlie Star Fish never got his paws wet either! Tony u are mad! hahaha Quote Link to comment
+HazelS Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 And it's a bloomin good job I was up early on an airport run - when Tony phoned me for Lolly's number, usually I'd still be fast asleep on a Sunday morning! Just glad it all worked out ok Tony!! - maybe you should have come caching with Jo and Becky and I again today! Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Got some great photos of tonys wet bum too! Will add a photo when I get back from work. Er, excuse me! I don't think so.... any pics of Tony's bum will subject to the usual fee, payable to his Sole Handler, thanks! Still, I dare say I can waive that fee in this case Lollybob, as you got him home in plnety of time to cook my dinner! Edited March 4, 2007 by Alibags Quote Link to comment

+The Bolas Heathens Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 We were wondering whose cachemobile we spotted in the car park at Entwistle Reservior while out caching yesterday - now we know. Isaac spotted the geopcaching.com in big letters on the rear bumper as we walked past en-route to the first cache there. Quote Link to comment

I take it you had just done ELR no-05 Summerseat cache, and was making your way to do Kirklees Valley series,, Just uploaded the missing numbers 7-9-10.

I can see a very wet future for us now! I think Mongers wanted to save on the price of a car wash really Quote Link to comment

+Sir PhilPamAndRob Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Well done Lolly I bet when you placed FAB 1 and were in contact with Lady Penelope & Parker, you never expected to become a part of International Rescue and get called out on a real life rescue! Glad it all ended successfully and the only injury was to Tonys pride Phil p.s. Worst I've done is drive down a narrow Welsh lane to get right next to the cache (as Robert was asleep in the back). It was so narrow with steep bankings that I couldn't open the doors! I climbed out of the drivers window, got the cache, went back in through the window and then reversed the 400m back to the road!

+Jaz666 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 No caches within 0.1 miles - time for a commemorative cache! "Tom Tom - Stuck in the Mud" I don't think Groundspeak like caches with registered trademarks in their name, so how about this for a series name. "Sat Nav Sillyness" - a collection of caches at silly places you've been taken to. Quote Link to comment

If I'd known I could have got hubby with the Land Rover to tow you out! I often walk down the lane with my dog but have been avoiding it for a while because it has been TOTALLY WATERLOGGED - but then you know that now Quote Link to comment

I often walk down the lane with my dog but have been avoiding it for a while because it has been TOTALLY WATERLOGGED - but then you know that now Always seems waterlogged that lane. I had intended to do eight caches then head off to do your cache Absolutely Barking for my 1300th. Decided to go dry out instead. I did drive down the lane no probs after though.
