When
on a single lane A road, a slow lorry followed
by a police van is about as welcome a sight
as Ian Huntley camping in your children's bedroom
|
McCarthy
is happy to have picked up the pace on the M1
|
|
|
|
|
Mendoza
was clearly enjoying his Crocs debut
|
Todays
outing was sponsored by Tesco Sugar Free Cherryade
- which it is strongly recommended you do not
buy
|
|
|
|
|
Leicester
Sound is one of the better regional radio stations
available
|
Upton
is a mere silhouette thanks to the blinding
sun
|
|
|
|
|
You
know you are in the north when these types of
power stations come into view
|
Martindale
seemed happy with the choice of continental
cheese on offer
|
|
|
|
|
A
Morrisons lorry - we could only hope it would
Alan Hansen or Richard Hammond behind the wheel
|
Unfortunately,
the dream was crushed
|
|
|
|
|
This
empty road denotes more people are desperate
to leave the north than enter it
|
We
soon overtake the team coach on the way into
Hartlepool
|
|
|
|
|
This
sign gives hope to residents of the town - there
are ways to escape
|
Upton
continues his record of being a ketchup fiend,
using no less than 9 sachets with his burger
meal
|
|
|
|
|
This
Merry Christmas sign within the pub was considered
slightly premature
|
The
lights of Victoria Park come into view as we
head towards the ground
|
|
|
|
|
Upton
somehow managed to fall off a wall, leaving
this large dent in a hedge
|
The
sheer number of people in the away end made
it difficult to find a suitable seat
|
|
|
|
|
Mendoza
struggles with the famous Hartlepool hotdog
|
While
Stewart is delighted to see a James Brown poster
on offer in the programme
|
|
|
|
|
Kuipers
and Tommy Elphick prepare for action
|
This
pole proved to be a hindrance while watching
the game
|
|
|
|
|
If
this picture hadn't of blurred, it would be
obvious that Eoghan Quigg of X Factor fame was
on the bench for the home side
|
Upton
merely required some form of whippet to complete
the look of a northerner
|
|
|
|
|
The
packed stand
|
This
man takes refuge by standing right at the very
front
|
|
|
|
|
Brighton
take a shock lead
|
Andy
Whing soon requires treatment after recieving
a ball to the wedding vegetable
|
|
|
|
|
Stewart
was sporting this fantastically retro headphones
|
Even
when half eaten, McCarthy's hotdog is still
bigger than his head
|
|
|
|
|
Glenn
Murray has an equaliser ruled out for offside
|
We
prepare to bundle into the car for the long
journey back home
|
|
|
|
|
McCarthy
is soon requiring a petrol stop
|
As
an Esso employee, he boasts of his ability to
get the amount of petrol spot on
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately,
this is a lie as he ends up with the classic
1 pence over mistake
|
The
seasonal picture of Uptons penis is taken at
Scotch Corner services
|
|
|
|
|
It
has been a life long dream for many to snack
and shop at Scotch Corner, and the day was not
totally wasted as the Crocs lived it
|
A
grand total of eight Eddie Stobart lorries were
seen over the course of the outing
|
|
|
|
|
McCarthy
went through an average speed check at 65 for
the first half of it, meaning that his speed
had to be severely reduced for the second part
to make the average. This resulted in a lorry
overtaking
|
The
inside of Uptons mouth
|
|
|
|
|
We
arrive back in Northampton, were the journey
went its separate ways
|
Mendoza
shows off his ticket stub, unfortunately now
rendered useless for priority tickets for the
second round game
|
|
|
|
|
It
is 2.39am when McCarthy finally arrives back
in Cheltenham
|
And
he is just 4 miles short of breaking the 600
barrier after another epic test of endurance
