Bowie69 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Seems like we have quite a few going from the forum this time, be good to catch up with people I've not seen in a while! Hopefully meet for the first time a few more of you. This will be the second visit to Walter's for the LGT, I'm not sure I've actually done that much to it since last time, will be good to see how he gets on with a locker and slightly larger tyres which will hopefully stop be getting hung up so much....😬 So who else is going? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Me and @elbekko will be there, with the Lightweight and P38. Still need to sort some practical details, like a copilot for me and a tow vehicle + second trailer... With a bit of luck, those will come as a complete package. 🙂 Looking forward to it, even if the preparation to get there is a bit more stressful this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbekko Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Looking forward to the first year where I don't break anything now that I bring the car on a trailer Will be good to see you, and everyone else, again. It'll also be interesting to see how the dog reacts to off-roading... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I'll be there marshaling and towing the club trailer. I'll be on my own this year so there's a copilot seat if anyone is that bored. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Something like this? Seems I wont have a copilot, but tow vehicle secured and trailer shouldn't be a problem. Out with the card to book the ferry... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escape Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 As long as it's just a couple of Landies on the lowloader and not a main battle tank, it should be OK, right? 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord I hope not - that particular section is out of bounds now anyway, I think it *would* have been last time too if they thought anyone would be daft enough to drive up there 2 hours ago, landroversforever said: Not fitting the winch and taking the 109 then? The ambulance and a bad back ate all my spannering time this season but on the plus side I've accumulated a fair few brownie points and the 109 is gradually coming along one setback at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
