"Little Dipper" - only remembered this because there's a sign in one of the videos!!

Pete's new party piece - Little Dipper, which not content with being the first up, showed us a second time to prove it wasn't a fluke!!:o

Ben having a dam good go - shame I didn't get the video of him on his side and driving out of it!! :cool:

This amazing thing happened for me on the first little section - I engaged the CDL and got up first time!!:eek: ....I was amazed after watching Dave struggle to get up there.... :p
