Mind how you go behind bin wagons!

Hi,

Last week I was doing a little touring in the Lake District. I was
entering one of the small Cumbrian coastal villages and following a
slow moving refuse disposal lorries. I could smell an acrid sort of
smell, but guessed it must have been someone in the village burning off
some rubbish. Just as we got to the centre of the village, there was a
very loud explosion with a cloud of smoke, dust and miscellaneous
rubbish from the rear of the lorry. Both me and the bike were covered
in the dust.

The driver pulled up and got out with an ashen face. Obviously someone
had thrown a gas cannister of some sort in with their rubbish and
someone else had provided the hot ashes.

Just thought you all ought to know you missed the hilarious sight of
yours truly plus Viffer both with a rather spectacular covering of
white dust

 

Excellent )
