Direct ott Cheltenham at 10:56.

Had a brief glimpse of it as it headed in, couldn't see the hose, so may have been resolved.

Just had it over Bishops Cleeve, from my picture it appears the rear hose is not fully retracted.

Hi all,

Thanks to your replies above.

Will probably go up tomorrow....the rain should be clearing by lunchtime......I hope.
