Orange Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Quick Q for those in the know... Is there going to be a BBQ at the campsite on the Saturday night like last time?? Obviously, if you could arrange 'less weather' it would be great!!! Cheers Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Pack received about an hour ago (jeez the post comes late in Southampton!!). Just one question - is the blowing up of sheep some kind of local ritual to pacify the monsters on the site?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 That was a rather excellenbt weekend wasn't it.. Spent most of the time doing punches and generally trundling around the site. Somehow we managed to not break anything major which must be a first! Thanks to all the shires crew for organising the event, and also for the burger incinerator that we made use of on saturday night... John, The Mrs took loads of pictures, although I am afraid a certain white disco, and a silver range rover figure quite heavily in them... will upload them or stick them on a cD or something and get them over to you.

landrover598 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 What a fantastic weekend, even if the weather wasn't the best. Big thanks to Shire's for another very well organised event. I've just emptied the landy, and everything is hanging up to try and dry out Saturday was a gentle day for me, testing out my new tyres, very impressed, only two climbs i couldn't do. Saw a few of the punch sections being tackled. Intersting to see how different people atack the same punch in different ways. Sunday brought a bit of rain, which transformed the site, A late night tyre change on Saturday was a good move, as i was then able to explore more of site, including giving my snorkel it's first test in the pond. We managed to collect all the punches in the afternoon and then pootled home for a nice warm bath. A few pics, not many from sunday as my camera also suffered a bit of water ingress!

dollythelw Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 really cool photos Dave! - love the 4th pic up from the bottom B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrode Finger Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Mr Fridge, looks to have been excellent!! It looks a rather ominous picture of you being thrown a winch line whilst in water..... was that truck or operator problems that required such action?

FridgeFreezer Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Brilliant photos Dave, I like the ones with me in Paul - it was traction problems, everything was working, there just wasn't enough grip to get very far some more aggressive tyres may have made the difference, but I'm not grumbling. The engine stayed running, bonnet went completely under water on the way out due to the bank. The b*ggers didn't tell me the other side of the pond is shallower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrode Finger Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 JU, So from those pics it can safely be concluded that Megasquirt works on a V8? Ummm, might have to sign up sooner rather than later, now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Had a great time at my first time at Seven Sisters. Got back today about 3 o'clock this afternoon. Have loads of photos but trying to upload them is a pain as all of the sites seem to want one photo at a tme.... However, for those of you following JU's 109, here's what he found in his air filter thingy after his little excursion in the pond: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
