darthdicky Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Stuck about 70 of my better photos up here. Took over 300 so if anyone wants a DVD of them posted, or just one or two of a particular vehicle emailed send me a PM. Here's a select few for a taster of the day, horribly compressed for the web - the full size ones look much better! Circlip went ping Not easy finding all the bits, and even harder putting it back together the right way! One of a few with problems steering Field repairs After loosing a fight with a tree Broken winch mainshaft Seemed like quite a tough event, mainly due to the ground conditions - there were certainly a few punches that I wouldn't want to attempt but it was great seeing others doing them. Nice to see teams helping each other out too amongst the many problems and breakages, unlike one or two other events I've been to where certain people have been too busy trying to win to help anyone!

JST Posted March 31, 2007 Author Share Posted March 31, 2007 modified Results will go up tomorrow after i have finsihed chekcing them! 1 mistake so far in std, std results are 1st Keith Knight 990 2nd Bull Bar Cowboy retd 1500 and out the bog by 1700 and on an AA truck by 1830...... 973 3rd= Recca and Dunstersteve 923 Retd early Rus and Lewis 390 after 1 hour. std + 1 1st Jay and Nige 3500 2nd Shaun and Ben 1100 retd with engine probs 1500hrs. Jay and Nige had the highest score as each punch is scored individually in each class, therefore its not representative across the classes. mental note that V8s dont like the bog run! Hope everyone enjoyed the day, good to see the team spirit and helping out of each other as required, Thank you to the guys that went back to get Ian unstuck and to Tim, Mark and HH for marshalling.

Orgasmic Farmer Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Just a quickie to say well done to Kris and Craig for their win (lets hope the Excel bug don't get them like it did us!). Has anyone got the photo of Kris on one wheel getting out of the one punch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Who said: Yeah but youll never guess what happened next ??? Another excellent event there Mr T , Twas a bit of a bugger in the bog . We had a few problems throuout the day , First thing after 15 mins in on the 6th punch the rear winch brake decided to explode into a small river , We managed to find everything except 6 bearings , Then after 3 attempts of refitting it we were back in for 2 mins when Scott and Dan bent their steering drag link 90 degrees so after helping them we were away once more . Four punches in the bog claimed my powersteering and both alternator belts , TWICE . And then snapped off a rear calliper so the loss of brakes was very dodgy on A section , This was when we snapped a front winch line and blew a tyre 15 mins before the end . Well done James another one of your fine events under the belt . Cheers to Hobbit for bringing our dinner out to us when we were broken down in the bog .

JST Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 As if by magic Picture courtesy of Sean Farrow. Unfortunately is doesn't show the full 'lift' Kris achieved as moments later he had just the rear right in contact with the ground as he came up the 2nd hump. i believe he was the only vehicle to drive out of that punch.

ciderman Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 i believe he was the only vehicle to drive out of that punch. Not quite , Me and Bushy drove out also and we had the same departure angle , Good one that . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done James another one of your fine events under the belt . Cheers to Hobbit for bringing our dinner out to us when we were broken down in the bog . It was worth for the hours of entertainment you gave me and my daughter. If we had had a bucket of wet sponges... I would swear you actually winched yourself back into the bog just for the laugh It was amazing how the prescence of an 8 year old can modifiy the language of a bunch of hairey arsed off roaders. Even Lardy only said the 'F' word once or twice every ten minutes. The only exception to this was Mr T who was his usual foul mouthed self.

JST Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Some of my pics in no particular order, i think they also show the good contrast between sites A and B! Simon and Paul on site B Sin and Paul trail breaking to Punch40! Rus and Lewis just before the steering went Shaun and Ben going into punch 39, V8s and water hey! and coming out just before the rear winch and starter decided they had had enough Kris and Craig on site A Mike Cuff entering the small bog run Jay contemplating a truck cab for the trees! Bull Bar Comwboy (Ian) happily demonstrating the benefits of hydraulic winches, it is fast Ian just prior to parking for a couple of hours Steve and this is wetter than it looked! Team William (Dan and Scott) early punch in area B Lardy and Si demonstrating how to do it entering the bog section Angela and Darren trail blazing site B Kris and Craig showing they can work out complicated things Hopefully a good spread of competitors, if anyone wants copies drop me an email.

honitonhobbit Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Sorry David, you need a CV, shaft or diff? No worries James - India told you off and that was priceless. As for Diffs, shafts etc I believe I have enough but I may ring! BTW - India enjoyed herself and wondered if she had been well behaved enough to come again?

JST Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Shes more than welcome David, but only if you listen to her advice on where to drive then maybe you wouldn't have got stuck!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackTJ Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Great event and really enjoyed it apart from the bit at the end which was not so great. Instead of last punch of the day it was last recovery but thats how it goes. Was I also well behaved enough to be allowed to come again - thats assume Kevin will let me out on my own after what happened..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugwash Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 great event again James- it's amazing how deceptive such a gentle looking drive in the woods can be! angela- my apologies for trashing the car- i hope you got home OK.

BlackTJ Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Paul - Not so much as case of borrowing it - just being my WB on recovering HH out of the evil bog. Darren had done the sensible bit by then & got changes into clean clothes so Jim was very excited about his first trip in the Jeep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 you must have missed his driving in his girlfriends range rover at 7s when he did an impression of Torrey Canyon. OI- that's the only i'm not owning up to- that was LUND related as you well know..... geez you make two little mistakes and no one ever lets you forget them!

honitonhobbit Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Jim, The calipers are in the garage all ready and waiting. Why not drop in to see your sister at Easter and then drop over to my place. I shall be in all Friday - got to paint the new door! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
