Having a cracking time, end of day four, one Toyota repaired (fuel issue) and one Defender (prop UJ, panhard bush, fueling, radius arm bushes.... (can you guess who?)

Off roading and site seeing is good - excellent wild camping, best steak dinner ever courtesy of Pugwash last night maybe open fire cooking is his forte.

In Gurada (sp?) currently 28 deg C Sat on the balcony booze in hand what better way to go!

Pictures to follow.

Les your missing out!

You're right Tim. We don't care . Did James' truck break down then . Perhaps not , it never sees the light of day let alone the beaten track

Has Chris had an accident yet?

James truck never see the light of day,, Sticky's truck !!! no major problem

Not as yet, Mark,, but early days !!!

Must be months since his last accident . Must be due another sometime soon

a freind of mine said it was very good he came 8th in the end

some videos here

lousa

watson

Months - are you sure about that? last HW event?

PS (not TJ posting here so less comments about my truck hey!)

Watson - ??? wires crossed somewhere i think.

No passport yet chaps. I can't turn away work on the off-chance it might turn up. Have a good time and write something egg-related on Mo's pate while he's in a drunken stupor - then post a pic of it There's always Transylvania (or whatever) next time.


Les.

We need pictures!

Why do you want pictures of Mo's bonce? It's egg-shaped, a bit wrinkly, and hollow


Les

I know you know what I meant

Glad your having a good time lads!

Tell Mo not to forget my stick of rock.

Oooh, can you bring a postcard back for each of us, 100000 fags, a couple of crates of beer & Vino Collapso, and some nice smoked meats!

Ta.

Martin

No pictures as yet,, Forgot to load the software on this machine,, other guys playing at trying to get on line as i type !!

7 days into the route, some excellent tracks, and wild camping,

Not much clue where we are,, Mark (Org Farmer's) job at present !!! But found a proper camp site for the night,, with internet access !!

More later after a beer or 4 !!

Is this the Portugal expedition with Mark Booth on it? If so say hi from Craig at Harveys then push him down a mountain

Hallo chaps,
Having a wonderful time
Uncle Les, shame you couldn't make it, I think you would have appreciated this poolside bar with WiFi, still there'a always next time I've had Uncle Victor in with me today so I haven't been lonely I'll send a picturetext ...
Martin, buy your own fags ya cheapskate
Blinding trip, great routes and all the Landys have been fine, the Toyota however ...

Mo

"Toyota: The Mediocre 4x4xfar"

Yes it is, and yes we will.

Chris

Glad to hear its going well over there and you’all are having a ball…………..


We just flew back to the UK this morning from our trip …………….. it was mostly OK but a good many of my routes were still impassable due the damage from hurricane Ivan which was 4 years ago ……………however the weather made up for it with mostly 28 – 34C…………….



Ian

all the landies haven't ben fine- stickies has had major surgery and the yota has been brilliant- by far the comfiest if not always the most economical (14mpg anyone - eek- though that was off road and pushing it hard). a certain maurice murphys truck is smoking like a chimney- can't beat these efficent TDis !!!trip going very well- couple of us tookm a detour to watch he portugal rally- which was fun even if we did get moved on by the police at 1 in the morning. weather could be better- not as warm and sunny as could be hoped for but it looks like improvemenets are on the way!

Victor (Mark) duly pushed,, if factm we have got him a summer job down here, cleaning pools !!

Now sat just out side of Gib,, all going wellm with now problemsm bar thw mosi bites,, JST looks like Nick Walkers did a few years baxk at 7 Sisters !!! Not a preety sight !!!

No need to say it twice - smug swine


Les.

In La Linea? thats about 1/2 hours drive down to my families place in Tarifa.

nice area around all of Andalucia, mi gusto mucho!

Hi Jim,, Just 1/2 mile outside Tarifa at a campsite,, chilling after a day with the monkeys on Gib,, Got to be sure we beought the right ones back wirh us

you down by the Hurricane hotel? or nearer to Tarifa?

Hurricane does a great buffet, just turn up and pay, you don't need to be a resident.

or in Tarifa town, a place called Vaca Loca does the best steak you'll ever eat (or chicken kebab things), chap called Gary runs it.

So what happened on this epic expedition then?, Or is it a secret!!!!

We are all a little ashamed and sheepish to be honest. Quite difficult to broach the subject...

Put it this way.

Have you seen that film "Brokeback Mountain"?

Lets just say that defender seats aren't the most forgiving either

Excellent,, near 3 weeks away,,
Were to start

Portsmouth


Ed to add,, Sorry Jim

Nice to see Victor sticking his oar in !

Caption Competition ??

Victor.....

Dad..dad......its in the SAAANNNNDDD !

Puggy.....Sigh

Victor.....

I'm not helping am I dad

Very good Les

Puggers: "Where's my lunch"

or

Puggers: "I see no chips"

I was thinking along the lines of

" No, that's not the Lard Cruiser "

I was less concerned by the caption, more so about what's going on with his shorts!!

"Has anyone seen Stickey?"

I found him Chris

I didn't know you were that way inclined........... ......................





Ian

Really Ian? Everone else has know for ages!!

i think he was tired and needed the vehicle to help him stand up



strange how no one else looked until you mentioned it.......

Was just going through some of the group pictures and found these:

"I don't see anywhere to have a dump in private"

Only just re found this thread !!

How's those picture discs doing Mark (O F)

i have just 'cra**ed' a SEAT

Where's everyone gone ...... again

Mo

Gee a man can't even find a toilet in peace nowadays without being photographed- blooming paparazzi- oh well guess that's the price of fame

Personally i'm still confused about this one:

I suppose penguin head beats turtle head, though, eh Jim!!

Jim, that's a very rare Mountain Penguin. It's been hunted almost to extinction by the French, who, as we all know, will eat anything
