Peak 2010
Jam Roll went on holiday for a week at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.
The Peak International camps are held every 5 years and run by Derbyshire Scouts & Guides.
Jam Roll stayed at Chatsworth house by courtesy of the Duke of Devonshire and spent the daytimes meeting some of the thousands of visitors and campers

Mechanical Update
Almost all aspects of mechanical works essential to the long term future of the car have been done.
The one exception is the lubrication system to the King Pins (main steering pivots).
This aspect has given some concern since RRHT found that the lubrication system specific to the pins has been missing for a considerable time.
We have sourced some brass castings to replace those missing and will be making up the pipework to re-instate the one shot lost oil system.
There are still many less critical tasks to be undertaken during the winter period.

Website back up and running
After far too long we are back in business with the website. Appologies to our many supporters and followers who have been starved of updated information about the project.
The very good news is that the work on Jam Roll has continued and each visit to RRHT reveals further work done by Reg and his team.
The next few News items will try to get you up to date with what has been going on!

The clock in Jam Roll was not working correctly.
The task of renovation was taken on by Ross Allcock, a Scouter who works as an engineer at Smiths of Derby Clocks.
The main spring had been repaired before, but was now in 4 pieces!
Ross will be sourcing a new spring and fitting it in original form.

MOT and Tax
Jam Roll had a drive to the MOT station last Thursday – and sailed through the test. Well done Reg and the team!
The run gave us chance to pick up any running glitches and adjustments required.
Fine tuning is due prior to our first booking of the season at Walesby Forest Camp Site 1st May then Ipswich on 2nd May.
Tax disc is on the way.

Repairs continue
Reg and his team at RR Heritage Trust continue their excellent work on Jam Roll.
Their latest challenge is to replace the oiler tubes (a system where oil is delivered to all essential moving parts on the car).
Many are broken or missing so they will all be replaced to ensure proper lubrication.
