       "Right",said Dougal as we pulled out of Joskin's driveway,"where
       are we going now?" " Home" said I. "Which way?" said Dougal.
       "Oh" said I, "A17, A1, A57 etc." "Sod that" said Dougal "we're
       laning home or I'll break down right now."
       "But Dougal" said I, "we've just done a weeks Euroleafing around
       France,some kwality laning around Bannegon and Le Vallee de
       Loir, a little wine tasting for me and now it's time to go
       home." "I don't care" said Dougal coming to a rapid stop and
       stamping his o.s.f. 255x85 hard on the ground. "We're going
       laning." "Yes Dougal" said I, "whatever you say." There's no
       reasoning with him when he's in this frame of mind.

       The building on the horizon is the Cat & Fiddle Inn, the second
       highest(or first, depending on whom you believe!) pub in
       England.

       Hmmm, you went laning cos the Land Rover made you go.
       I know it's pussy whipped if a woman makes you do it, what's the
       term for a Landy making you do it?
       
       More than a few years since I saw that place sitting on the
       horizon too.

       I don't know....I'll have a look on Dougal Earth and see if I
       can find the answer.

       Quality laneing, slight side track, are they disco wheels with
       the centres moved?

       I think I remember seeing these before and I do believe the
       centres have been turned back to front to give them a good
       off-set...
       I like'em. I think they do look good.

       Almost.They are de-gayed disco centres with new rims fitted to
       my spec. by Matt Lee.
       The original plan was to have tubeless rims with more offset
       fitted to standard LR centres,but when I 'phoned up to enquire
       Matt said he had some disco wheels and would I be interested in
       those instead at £40.00 each converted?Needless to say I said
       "Yes!"
       I had them made because of the raised land around the stud hole
       which acts like a spring washer.I was running 900x16's on
       eight-spokes but as I found to my cost,even with regular checks
       of wheel-nut tightness with a torque wrench,eight-spoke stud
       holes wear oval.
       You don't get that problem with genuine LR centres.
       Here endeth the lesson for today!

       Cat and Fiddle's not the highest, if you beleive the Ordnance
       Survey. Tan hill is at 528m AOD Cat and Fidlde is only 515m AOD.

       And the Snowdon one is higher, and it does count as a pub as
       they sell beer up there!
