Tim, Tony, sent you both an email last night. also had routes attached. Did they get through?

I should be there for 0945hrs latest.

Tim 55l I believe a pre TD5 type tank holds on a 90.

i am expecting as below tomorrow:

1. JST + John

2. Pugwash

3. Walfy

4. TC+HT

2nd grp

5. Tight Fart?

6. John (John_T)

7. Will, Lucy, Thomas and Henry aboard the Beasty 110

8. Tim (TJ101)

3rd Group

9. Pete

10. S4x4R

11. David (honitonhobbit)

12.

The desire is for last grp to leave the car park by 1000hrs. If you arrive after and wish to catch up by all means give me a ring on the mobile.

The aim of the day is to do some gentle greenlanes that any 4x4 should be able to do on AT tyres without too much trouble, so please dont expect anything too much.

Lunch is planned to be at the pub from 1230 onwards (depending on how quickly you get through the route, with an hour or so of routes post lunch)

For those that want some more testing lanes, we could then go onto these.

look fwd to seeing you all there

Add to that Paul Challis and Mike Green, with Pete turning up in the afternoon...

JST TONY

Thanks for a good day out yesterday. Got a genuine hose delivered and fitted today :D:D so all back up and running again. Thanks for the "field fix". Tony I have a roll of tape sat here waiting for you. Will prob drop it out to you after the new year.

Looking forward to tomorrow. I do have a spare seat if anyone needs it and is feeling brave :D.

I'll be at the meeting point the same as yesteday at the time stated by James. If anything changes can you let me know on my mob James.

good day out made all the more fun by a little snow. The last lane uphill was a tad slippery.

sorry about the delay whilst i went on a fuel hunt. If i had know that the last lane was it i had plenty left heyho.

As Wallace would say, "A Grand Day Out!". Thanks to James for his organization and to all for letting a new guy come with you.

A few pics.

First the mandatory cheesey Tarr Stepps photos.

Tim takes it steady due to the lack of fondness the V8 has for dampness!

Will makes more of a splash!

IMGP0710.jpg

I spent most of the day looking at the back of Will's truck. Here it is wobbling its way down Stone Lane.

And finally, towards the end of the day it sort of went...well....white!

Thanks again for a nice day!

John

Tony - thank you for posting the pics of mine without the reversing lights on! (although i expect its broken anyway!)

some of my pics to follow.

Cheers for all those that came along on Thur, a good week for it i think and snow adds a little more fun. we gave Bury up a miss with 2" of snow on it, Jim found coming down enough i think!

glad you all enjoyed it.

Thanks for another good day out :D . Good to put some more faces to names from the forum. James if you need to look at my engine setup anytime give me a bell. Not sure how often I can get to a PC in the week. If you fancy some lanes at the end of the week let me know. :D:D

thanks for organising another great day out again James. bury down was definitely enough for me- when you start sliding with the brakes off you know it's time to call it a day! great fun though.

great photos of that ford on exmoor- no wonder you were a "little unsure" about whether you should be going through or not- reckon you probably had a very close shave by the looks of it!
