Ok this morning as we left the front brakes were not working so we return to base
Clive came back as well and between Clive and Wayne they found I was missing a bolt on one of the calliper which had cause the brake pipe to move and crack
So new bolt with thread lock make a new brake pipe check the rest of the bots as well, then bleed the brakes, test drive and all well again.
Also we fix a few minor jobs as well. So not bad of a force day off.

OK, sorry guys, there's nothing I found on the FAQs to advise reducing the size of photos, but I invested some time in reducing them and re-editing them back into post #972 if anyone wants a look-see...

Thanks Clive, they all loaded for me now and it was worth the wait. Some great scenery, culture and geology in the photos.
Is the weather clearing up ? Are you heading up onto the mountain tops ?
Are the guys staying locally the whole trip or are you all doing a tour across Romania?

It will fix Ben and truth is it now seems almost a shame to to do it , here she is bruised and battered but victorious like Rocky in the 15th round 
Andy it would take a month to tour our immediate area yesterday we took a short cut through the forest to visit some castles , much to Clive's disappointment and our delight some bugger has built some sort of complex up there blocking our route . GPs wouldn't work so we spent the whole day driving the forest tracks rarely using the same one twice , making new roads where non existed taking a short cut through the river to jump lanes investigating a loggers track that inevitably took us nowhere but had me spill fuel from the tank and was so much fun I was laughing out loud alone in my truck . if you want to tour Romania (and my god I want to ) I would set aside a year to do it .

A bit of a lazy day today.
Up late (well I was) and late getting out, so we didn't go far.
The weather has brightened up at last
Took the back lane up to "my hill" then made it down to Secaria, up over the ridge to Valea Doftane and down to the reservoir, Paltinu.
Shayne, Ram & Wayne putting the world to rights (again)...
Then we drove the road parallel to the river down to Campina, stopping at a stone "beach" on the way
Everyone driving around in the water
,
I found it rather childish, of course...

This was my f**k-up badly underestimating the time it would take to make a round-trip. Apologies to all for the long day and the last 4 hours of it on never ending serpentines in the dark...
What a nightmare, sorry guys.Will post a few glimpses of what we experienced soon...

I don't believe you guys - haven't seen any photo evidenceSent from my iPad using Tapatalk
No worries Andy, a bit of patience needed...
I have a bundle of photos to post and I'm sure the UK gang have theirs too. I have a busy spell coming up which includes an intense workweek in Turkey, so my posts won't be so swift.
The UK posse are crossing the Romanian/Hungarian border as I'm typing this (11:15 am) so it will be a while before they're in a position to post...
