well it was raining early on ...and made the site muddy......quite a selection of 4x4..even a J##p.....who managed to drive Jacobs Ladder....both ways without being stuck.....:eek: .
and a Disco who had 6+ attempts to climb up from the second level......(I WILL POST PICTS LATER).....
Then there was Kev in a well sorted V6 lightweight..+ lockers...
and one forum member (who will remain nameless..) ...who discovered at the bottom of a hill his rear spring was missing.......and needed the nortrak staff to spend hours ........(:itwasntme ) looking for it ....
as for the others ...the usual stuff...if he can do it ....so can...I.........result ....cvs....crunch..???

Once more a great day!! Strangely, I only went through £25 of fuel this time, instead of the £40+ last time...might have something to do with only sitting at 50-55 on there way there and back rather than the 75-80 last week. :eek: Don't ya just love V8's!
At least I did not conk out in the water (well..just breifly!) this time and only got stuck the once...but with some deft driving and locked diffs we managed to get unstuck after 5-6 tries.
I now realise that I really do have to get better tyres...oh hum...another £500 thrown at poppy..lol
Worth it though.
Thanks again to everyone there for a great day out.
Rob and Cas
Doosh had my spring, anyway there was an intresting sideshow of the disco trying to get up the climb, we'll be back!!!:p

Some pics Cas and I took....various vehicles including the mad G-wagon, the rather wrecked Rangie and Huey looking for his spring in the mud ;)
good to see the pics, can't help thinking that all breakages won't come to £16 to sort out.
Re disco climbing hill, make that 12+ attempts before he conceided defeat:( whereas my old wrecked diesel rangie (on its last outing ,as it is being replaced by a v8 rangie) made it up the same hill first time:p. good time had by all.
