Ali and Lesley found themselves with some spare time on their hands yesterday, waiting for the rest of the wood-logging team to arrive at the forest - that is Freda, Edie, Granny, Grandad and the pony, Lucy (more on that later). We took the opportunity to practise turning the trailer. Driving with a trailer is easy enough, if one remembers to turn corners a little bit wider and longer. Getting it to go backwards, however, is significantly harder. A tweek of the wheel in the wrong direction can lead to a frustraing jackknife. Our practice session soon turned into a competition, to see who could reverse the trailer round a gravel heap and into a small side road, with the car and trailer ending up in a straight line. Any guesses who won?
