you weren't leading us, you'd already gone

I was going to follow Danno but a car got between Couchie, Lucy, myself and him, then he was gone.

I knew the dangers and TBH wasn't going to bother but got carried away in the moment and thought 'what the heck, why not'.

I wasn't bothered by anyone else's actions, just my own stupidity of forgetting how unforgiving that place can be and how easily it can suck you into going too fast then biting you.

I thought the MV toured rather well.

For the most part I felt really sorry for Danno on saturdays ride down, no GPS or map is going to help when roads are dug up or closed. However it did demonstrate the problems that slavishly following a GPS can cause.

GPS works well in conjunction with a map and a good set of eyes, we never really got all three working together, for that I blame the leader. Its all Weeksy's fault.

Listen, it's my trip and i OWN you all. I'll make ALL the decisions next time. After all, you can only go the wrong way if you give a fuck about where you end up
