Stefan If you mean when I had to change gear, I can assure you the rear wheels were chocked.

Reports from my crew who were stationed on the hill right next to your unforeseen stop said that they were impressed with the speed and ability of the crew to change gear, and using all of the chocks. Shame the owner let them down with too small a fire at the bottom of the hill !!! ;-p

Sorry Jim. I didn't see the chocks used but was very impressed with the speed of your crew in getting off the engine and braking the trailer. Obviously others were also impressed; did you hear the ripple of applause when you set off?

Err no! Is there a video of this? I new we would have to stop so I pre warned Joe my steesman . What happend was my own fault as we were delayed at the bottom of the hill on the road which joins the main hill road , so I put the injector on to stop her blowing off & then was distracted & forgot it was on!

Cheers, Josh.

What I saw was an excellent and smart executed gear change. Must say I was very impressed on how how quickly and smartly the wheels chocked and the trailer brake applied. No fuss no hassle just 2 skilled engeinemen well on top of the job
Well done
Jim
