Got back a couple of hours ago from Seven Sisters after having another realy really excellent weekend.

Decided late on friday night that i would go to seven Sisters on saturday.

got up v early on sat morning and got there for 9:15- to find noone else was up there! oh well they soon turned up.

no piccies i'm afraid- v disorganised- even forgot to take a coat- which was a big mistake.

spent the whole weekend "bitching" for JST (although i was a tad slow).

Highlights:

Getting 30 out of 40 punches in 5 hours
watching 5 Jeeps winch up a hill (took them about 25 mins each), only to then watch Tim (TJ101) power up the same hill in his hybrid in abour 4 mins, with just 4 shunts!
scrambling up and down muddy hills- scratching my arse off- strangely enjoyable
BBQ on saturday- and the pub
James' driving on sunday

Lowlights:

rave music til 12:30 am from some manx people- bloody annoying
falling over in a stream- twice
getting lost in the biggest prickliest tree that could be found - scratches all over the plaec
the arsing weather
James' driving on saturday- spent 3 hours NOT getting up hills before realising the centre diff lock wasn't on! so much pointless bitching done!
Edited to say:
[size=4]Major Lowlight- Car falling down the gully and hitting me head on, on the way down and throwing me across the gully- worth it only for the look on James' face- lots of bruising on my back- see piccy 11 for where it happened"[/size=4]

great to see all of you again- another great social and off roading event.

sure someone will be along soon with some piccies

P.s. John (fruity) how the **** did you break your winch AGAIN!

Jim, the music was easy sorted, go to bed when they had finished !!

Nice to see you Jim, glad you came, All 3 bitches worked well on sat,, Mark/Victor,(savage, who can not get loged on, cause no one will send him his forgotton password,!!! ) who sat in with me, Gary, who spent the day with Mark90, and his shiny new truck, (now complete with new battle scars,) And Jim for the legwork, draging JST's winch rope round 7S

Cracking event again, with excellent company, Thanks Angela, see you in November

will got and see if any pictures are worthy !!

for once i did not break anything at 7S

passed onto Admin for rectification

Thanks Ralph,, sure Mark (savage) will appreciate

Paul,, you are not wrong there, where were you !!!

Aye a cracking event with cracking company, even if all some of the bitches (no names ) did was bitch about bitching and about their drivers driving although to be honest that was half the entertainment



Err yeh just a few found some more after washing it (yeh a bit keen I know). So that's most panels with dints and few scrapes underneath, and a slightly dented rear shock

Thank god for X-Eng side protectors, I'd have suffered a lot more damage without them.

Roll on the next one

Has he tried the auto request? http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?act=Reg&CODE=10

Watch this space

Cracking weekend again, a shame about the weather this morning but it cleared up pretty quick and was fine for the journey home. I must say I was glad to be in a caravan and not under canvass.

Great to put faces to names from the forum and to see some old ones again.

Pictures hopefully tomorrow when i've had time to down load.

Who was collecting punch cards, can I scan mine and email it as there was noone to take it as I left?

A few photos;


On firday afternoon a few of us had a little laning trip as a warm up before the main event...

Mark, I bet it felt good to get the truck out finally

P.S. Where are the winches???

Oh yes

Safe and sound in the garage, will have one out for Tonys bash

Twas a little damp Sunday morning



my shot of James (JST) on the cross axle



the rocks in the river were more grippy in the wet !!




all i really got, that worth posting !!

Angela/David (and everyone else) cheers for organising and putting the event on/setting up.

Jim -

Cheers for offering to codrive for the weekend and as you request i did my best to make sure you had some phys on Sat!

A cracking weekend, despite Victor moaning even more than me. (oh and the longish drive home into a nice headwind!!!) still got 24.5mpg for the weekend not too bad!

Good to see and catch up with everyone, now looking forward to BDB 07.

What you want all hard punches there i guess now your seasoned to it!

Obviously removing the hardtop lowered the COG so much he couldn't!!

Great pics guys, looks like a fun weekend

told you i am new at this

glad you enjoyed the weekend Chris, hope to see around at the next few events then, this wekeend coming Culmhead 2 day event with Challenge South West, oh yeah - you need to trade in for a rover now!

Hey chris,

good man for coming along good to meet you (just so you know i'm Jim- James' "unwilling" bitch for the weekend!)

thought you did really well for your first time out- i most certainly wouldn't have come down that last slope first time i went out in a new car- full marks for rubbish mate!

hope to see you out in the future- reckon that little zook will go just about anywhere- it'll certainly be a while before your aquired skills outweigh the ability of the vehicle!

try this Tim

thanks Jim for the kind words, I think I need some Armour underneath before hitting the rocks.

i thought I have a go oh well I get the hang of it one of theses days witch is my right or left and down a bit, Like us all!!

Those vids work now. Thanks for posting them Chris.

Good to meet you at the w/e. Like Jim says, big balls for doing those hills on yer first time out.






They where on teh truck when I bought it off Graham/Ripley. Just some very thick/stiff rubber bolted on to the wings.

where as Jim will outweigh his truck anyday!!!!

Three things:

1) How many people have i ever run down in my truck? Certainly less than you- and i have most definitely never tried to kill my co-driver!

2) Have you learnt what that little lever with "diff lock" written on it is for yet?

3) You're only jealous becuase you weight 2 stone nothing with your boots on.

Jim,



1. dont know how many you have squashed but i thought running over you would be a good challenge for it.

2. Yes, its a driver only control though........

3. nearly correct, i weigh 2 stone with my boots on (there big boots) and p*ss wet through (thats prob why i cant push my landy into the garage!)
