Anyone for the Wayfarer this Sunday?

[DavejDavies]

If anyone is interested I am thinking of doing the Wayfarer this Sunday (19th Feb). Also thinking of a few other lanes in the area including the phesant steps (rescue services on stand-by :D )

Think Geo and Eva are interested - makes a change from trying to get a tan at Red Wharf Bay ;)

Anyone else?

Yup think I would be up for that and I might have got Eva's new suspension installed by then too!

Where you planning fella?

[DavejDavies]

Can go the same way we did last time (without turning over on the steps) then loop back to the Wayfarer?

Paul H has suggested a couple of routes - the v gully into Glyn Ceiriog from Ceiriog Forest (part 1) and a route which ends at the Mill at the start of the steps (part 2)?

Or start with the Wayfarer and see what we fancy next - it was a nice easy track and didn't take too long. Could try both arms rather than go over at Glyndyfrdwy? One out the other back - either arm takes you past the carwash before getting back on the A5...

Need to see who else is keen as righting a 90 with two people was hard work :D

[Hoodoo]

I'll be floating around that area during the afternoon. If you need rescuing, give me a shout on the CB (Ch 19). Enjoy righting Landies!!
Regards,

[jiffyman]

Nice one Hoodoo!!!!!!:D :D :D

Well you have my phone number now. I will be out that way as well. Still got to plan a route on Memory Map. I can remember the lanes, just not always how to get to them!!

Cheers Paul

I know what you mean, it's all very similar around there...

Let me know what you're driving and I'll give you a wave if I see you :D

I am in a blue 90 TC - slightly battered on one side - currently got the Ifor on the back but may take it of for the weekend :)

[Paul Humphreys]

I will be in a white RRC.

I will let you know where I am going sometime tomorrow. We normaly use ch10 on the CB.

Looks good mate, real classic

CB will definatly need to go on my Landy wish list :)

[Paul Humphreys]

Hi,
You do need to get a CB asap as no mobiles work at the bottom of the steps!!!!

I have a 3 mobile and an Orange on PAYG just incase the CB givs up!!

The RRC is rubbish on the road, but great off of it. Its whats under the skin!! But it needs some welding this year!! I make them last about 2 years then change all the bits onto another one. The last one ended up on its side!

Paul

[DavejDavies]

Hi,
The last one ended up on its side!

Paul

Know that feeling :D

Funny enough when I was last at the top of the steps I got a signal - phone call from a contractor working for me over the weekend whilst the office was shut - sorted out his question whilst safely parked then 2 minutes late was on my side :rolleyes:

Have to do a search here for CBs - got a birthday coming up soon and need to start dropping hints :)

[Paul Humphreys]

Yes they work at the top but not at the bottom!!

Paul

[DavejDavies]

Anyone else interested??

If not I will have to try a few non-forum members :eek:

[Paul Humphreys]

Hi Dave,

Do you have Memory map?

We are starting from Corwen about 9-30, Keath of Simply 4x4 starts from there at 9.45, so a chance to tell people how they can go laneing for FREE!!! Part of the plan!!!

We will be doing some of the same lanes as you but not at the same time.

Paul

[DavejDavies]

Paul

LOL :D :D I like it...

That was the best bit of doing the Wayfarer myself - thinking I had saved £35 by not being stuck in a traffic jam behind a Pajero :)

Don't mind paying for a private site but there seems to be plenty of people happy to help out with green laning. Never been with Simply but I can see the appeal to a newbee. Having read the good examples on this site, GLASS code of conduct etc there is no way I would ever consider it now...


Do you have Memory map?


Got a trial version which I haven't really tried yet as I haven't got round to finding a gps receiver (another thing for the wish list) - if you have your route I'll have a go importing it :rolleyes:

Paul

Sounds like its going to be busy, don't want to meet up with a big convoy in the wrong place :(

Don't know what time we will be starting out but 9:30 in Corwen might be a little early for Geo :) Would be good to see you converting the masses :D

[DavejDavies]

Anyone else interested??

If not I will have to try a few non-forum members :eek:

Every non-forum member I know is either between landies, broken down or busy :(

People pay £35 for trips like this just to be stuck beghind behind a Pajero :rolleyes:

[Paul Humphreys]

Is there just the 2 of you then Dave? I am not sure how many are with me sunday as yet. You could always join us a little later?

Paul

[DavejDavies]

Sounds like a plan, cheers Paul

Might give you a ring Sunday morning while you are out converting in Corwen :D

Will try and load your MM route up later...

[Paul Humphreys]

Ok no problem. So far I think its just 2 of us. That is if Daves RRC passes its mot tomorrow.:eek:

Paul

Ouch - never a good time for a MoT...

Sounds like you could be on your own :(

Let us know how you get on, I can get to Corwen for 9-30 if required, Geo was changing his springs, don't know how he is getting on or if he is an early starter....

[Paul Humphreys]

I will let you know. I dont like going out on my own, just in case some untowards happens.

Paul

[Geobloke]

I am in too! Springs have been changed now, bump stops to do if it is nice tomorrow, not sure how much is involved in changing them but I canna imagine it'll be too much!

You name the time to be in Corwen and I will be there!

:yay:

[Pete H]

Guy,cheers for the PM,sorry for the late reply...:)

I carnt make it,Lisa goes off to New york at 2am sunday morning,so theres no way in the world i will be up for this run out....:(

if you guys are doing this again soon,let me know.....Cheers :)

[Paul Humphreys]

Bump stops are easy, as long as you have an angle grinder.

I will post here tomorrow. I will try to find out who is coming with me, If theres not to many I can lead if you want.

I am off to bed now good night all.

Paul

[DavejDavies]

Think Paul was planning 9:30 start to get off before Simply 4x4

Ok for me, do you need to set your alarm Geo - sure I heard a storey of you oversleeping ?

Where in Corwen do you start Paul? Only really know it to drive through or stop to admire Ifor trailers :D

[Paul Humphreys]

As you come into corwen past Ivor Williams, take your next left (from you way) look for the Car Park signs and the WC signs. Then its the next right onto the car park.

You carnt miss me!!

Well, we aranged to meet in Corwen at 10:30, and myself and Pete duly turned up. We waited a while before ringing Geo to see where he was. He was at home! He thought we were metting at 15:00 :rolleyes: Seems he'd had a late night the night before - posting to the forum at 03:30 doesn't make for an early start!

See you tomorrow - if the lanes are as good as your day out with The Gurkha it should be a great day :D

[Pete H]

I see that this now has potential to become an offical Geobashing thread :D :D

[Paul Humphreys]

Looks like there will be,

Paul Humpherys (Me) 3 door RRC
Dave Rogers, Chairman of CRAG and his wife Fi (its her birthday!!) 5 door RRC
Dave Davis LR 90
Geobloke (sorry dont know your name?) LR 90

I will get to Corwen for 9am. I will bring 2 hand held CBs. I am planing to leave Corwen about 9.30-9.45. Finish is when I am left on my own!! I am always the last to want to go home!!

Relying on small batteries tho and a small aerial too!

[Paul Humphreys]

If you go for a CB then got for a wired in one, the hand helds are ok but using them inside you LR cuts down the range a lot. You will see today.

A GPS comes later.

Paul

[Hoodoo]

For a CB, have a look at Difflock. They've got an offer on.
And I found you!! Good to meet you all, even though it WAS damned cold!
Regards,

[Paul Humphreys]

Hi John,

Just got in about 6,30. Yes it was cold up there. Guy sait was reading -1 and thats without the wind chill. I will try to post some pics in a bit.

Paul

PS I got stuck going up the V-gully. Thats what I get for not getting the centre dill lock working.

[Paul Humphreys]

Lol I see you got the news in before anyone else could have a pop! ;)

As it happens it was -2, but I guess that could be considered splitting hairs!

Oh I got back about an hour ago.

[Paul Humphreys]

Well nice to see you made it home ok.

You should have had all the pics of today by now as well.

Paul

[Geobloke]

Well what a day! by eck! Phew! Have now met Paul, Dave, Fiona and John (Hoodoo) and can safely say they are class peeps, would go laning with them anyday!

I lost ount of the amount of lanes we did, it just seemed to go on forever and ever, a life time of laning fun! As well as the lanes we did with Paul, DaveD and I also did the other side of the Wayfarer and the carwash again, in the dark! Great fun! :D I could get used to night driving, is fun! :rolleyes:

The other Dave (not DaveD) managed somehow to get stuck in a really small puddle, not sure how!! But he did! :D and then due to lack of difflock Paul winched himself up part of the V-gulley!

I am proud to anounce that DaveD did not repeat his incredible upside down feat on the Pen Steps this time, although there was one slightly hairy moment whilst going around the next boulder where a little Geo ballast was required!! ;)

I personally had a great time, there were the odd "oh crap breathe in" moments which required a little help and my bow saw! ;) That awning is coming off!

Pictures to come!

[Geobloke]

Well nice to see you made it home ok.

Yes cheers, just downloading them now!

[Paul Humphreys]

a little Geo ballast was required!! ;)!

Just a little????:D

Paul

[DavejDavies]

Thanks for a great day out Paul. Thanks as well to Dave & Fiona, the three of you were great company and a wonderful advert for CRAG - also made a fine gate opening/closing team :) Birthday cake and free bulb repairs - going to have to join CRAG now :D

So many great lanes I didn't get a chance to take many photos, the few I did were of the back of Eva as Geo went on a one man lane clearance operation :D

Going up the v gully was something :eek:

The Steps have really been washed out since we were last there :( Time for repairs

The Wayfarer in the dark was interesting :rolleyes: - thanks for going out of you way to take me and Geo to Llanarmon DC.

Doing the Corwen carwash in the dark was great - with the lights on I could clearly see the river bed - Eva coming through the river with her roof lights blaring was a sight to behold :D

[Paul Humphreys]

I think Guy is going to take the roof rack off bit by bit untill it stops grabbing branches!!

It was a good day, but I need to do that diff lock, soon:rolleyes: .

Paul

....and this is guddy guddy Guy talking is it????????????:D :D

[Geobloke]

Right then! Pictures of our day out!!

First off is Dave and Fiona in the grey RRC V8 (sorry didn't get your surname), they went swimming alot and got stuck in the smallest rut ever!! :D :rolleyes: DaveD gave them a hand in his 90 on road tyres!!! :rolleyes: Even the frontera made it through without a problem!! :D

[Geobloke]

DaveD on the other hand had a great day out, he managed not to tip his 90 over on the steps this time and here are the pics to prove it!

Also looking at the carwash pics, I wouldn't want to take a non lifted or snorkeled vehicle through when the water level is much more deep! Looks a little close possibly!

Oh he also got to pull the rangie outta a rut it had managed somehow to get stuck in! It was blamed on lack of speed!!! :rolleyes:

[Geobloke]

Oh ****** forgot the pics! :rolleyes:

[Geobloke]

And to the rest!

Eva posing just below the steps!

The moment we picked up a wayward frontera (and Steve the driver).

Meeting a Hoodoo! Nice to finally meet you fella! ;)

Paul grinning after using his winch! :D

And a couple of group pics on top of the wayfarer! By eck it were cold up there in the cloud! Sleeted a little too!

Great lanes, great company, great fun, cheers to all!

[Geobloke]

....and this is guddy guddy Guy talking is it????????????:D :D

Yes am like driven snow me! Pure, innocent, unspoilt and an all round good egg! :D

[Geobloke]

Ah ****** me bottom seal on Eva's steering box has decided to give up the ghost and dump half a resivoir of fluid on to the road outside me house! ******!

:(

[Paul Humphreys]

Well it will give you something to do!!!

Paul

[Geobloke]

Was a V8 to...

[DavejDavies]

Thanks for the photos Geo

DaveD on the other hand had a great day out, he managed not to tip his 90 over on the steps this time and here are the pics to prove it!

Needed your help (ballast) on the second bit otherwise I think I wound have gone again :rolleyes: Might try some weight on the back end next time - not happy with the way it seems so keen to flip :(

New Rocksliders were great :) - the rail makes a fine step (for the applcation of ballast :) ) Didn't notice the diffs catch all day so the new guards must be doing the business :)

Also looking at the carwash pics, I wouldn't want to take a non lifted or snorkeled vehicle through when the water level is much more deep! Looks a little close possibly!

:eek: Bow wave makes it look worst than it was (I think) - might need to add a snorkal to my wish list...

Didn't look so deep when we did it in the dark :rolleyes:

Hi all, :p wish I had seen the start of this thread, I went out laneing last weekend with Keith from Simply 4x4 but didn’t see you on the car park at the start, but I think we passed you on the top of one of the mountain tracks.
I’m running a 300TDI Discovery that I have had for about 2 years and I have never really been happy with the performance, I have had numerous mechanics look at it, fitted loads of new parts, had new timing belt fitted, and timing checked, cleaned out the fuel system from top to bottom including the water trap at the back fitted new fuel lift pump cleaned out the intercooler etc etc played with the settings on the diesel pump that much, I think it would be nigh on impossible to ever get it set up anywhere near what it should be set at, I have had that much black smoke coming out of the back chimney sweeps were beginning to follow me around giving me there business cards “ I jest, but believe me when I say black smoke it was Hemel Hempstead Fuel Depot Proportions ” any way, last week I fitted a snorkel and sump guard to my Disco and a chap from down the road from me stopped for a chat and to see what I was doing to my motor,” we are a friendly lot in Coseley” in the general conversation about disco’s I told him I liked the motor but have never really been impressed with the performance, and he goes on to question me about the performance issues, and out of thin air he says “sounds to me like your turbo waste gate is not working” and me I think yea okay mate nice talking to you but I have had expert mechanics look at this motor and they all tell me there’s now’t wrong with the motor, so he proceeds to feel about under and behind the turbo and then says “here’s your problem mate, the lever for the waste gate has come of the end of the rod?” a few grunt and groans try that mate he says, so I jump in the motor boot it up the road and before I even get out of first gear “the mans a genius – power I had never dreamt of “ “wow” I shot of and disappeared into the distance enjoying my new found power, two bloody years driving round with all my turbo power going strait to the exhaust I ask ya.
:dance:
Sorry got carried away, the reason for this post, would like to tag along with you lads on some of your off road trips if you will have me.
:cheers: Keith

Hi,

I was in the white RangeRover handing out the flyers.

You can come laning with me anytime. I get out most week ends.

I was just about to make an offer on your Disco untill you said you had fixed it. I would also call all the mechanics thay worked on your disco and ask them what you paid them for.

Have a look at the NGLD thread, if the clearing is done quick we will do some laneing after wards.

When I am laneing, its the only time I am not working. Also have a look at www.crag-uk.org (http://www.crag-uk.org)

Hello Paul,

thanks for the quick reply, and the offer to tag along is much appreciated, thinking of lifting my disco 2 inches Sat if weather permits, wouldn’t mind coming Sunday and giving a hand lane clearing – gives me a chance to meet some of you and find out more about CRAG, I will bring some dusters and polish – anything else? Only joking. :D

Let me know were to meet, but will need a little more than numbers? Not into map reading.



Seeya Keith. ;)

Hi Geobloke.
Yes remember the Red 90 and the White Range Rover,;) the river yes I remem erm erm? It’s in Wales! :( Maybe it will come to me one day when we are in the area, I have a Navman Pin 570 with GPS and have been thinking about putting Memory Map on it, I know you can download maps with waypoints on it for offroading, and that you can plot your own course – or record the route you have travelled ( I read it on the net) I downloaded a trial version but like the Landranger Maps its all double dutch to me – just a little something else you lads can teach me.



:cheers: Keith.

[Paul Humphreys]

Memory map is good, but costs a lot if you buy it.

The river I have driven a few times, just a shame they have closed the one the opposite the start, it gos thro a SSSI, the first part is un driveable as well.

There are quite a lot of river crossing if you look for them, theres one just below Lake Vyrnwy. But it can not be drive all the way right now as the gate on the other side is too narrow. We (CRAG) are working on Powys CC to get it changed.

As I missed most of the snow down here on the coast over the last few days I am planning to do the Wayfarer tomorrow morning :)

Did it last Sunday, plenty of snow and ice but no problems.

Convienced the wife to come with me as it's a 'gentle' route :) She has been a little reluctant since we rolled over :rolleyes: on the steps

As I know every gate up there by now it will be good to have an assistant :D
