andy.cowman Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I may well be able to come aswell, where abouts are people and meeting and when? Also any ideas which parts we will be going to? If I come I will bring some cake but i am fairly sure we would all die if I actually baked one so its sainsburys all the way! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Right, rapid decision says 10am at the Market Place in Devizes on Sunday - be there or be late! I've not planned any lanes for certain (because I don't know that many!) but there's plenty on the maps so we'll just see what we can turn up unless there are any recommendations?

andy.cowman Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I am happy just to follow along. I have always gone onto the plain from the Westbury White Horse as i think its the closest access from Bath but Devizes sounds fine. See how the truck behaves tomorrow as to whether I can get there. The power steering is playing up and with my dead shoulders I really need it to work to be able to use it :s Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 So, I'll see the following in Devizes market place then. Turbocharger TroddenMasses GBMud M005 Andy Cowman Minivin... perhaps. I've got MemMap GPS - if someone else turns up with maps too then we can split up into smaller groups if any more people volunteer. Maps would also be handy, of course, in case the PC lets me down...

andy.cowman Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Well i checked the fuses (just in case) and then poked my finger infront of the little spinny fan (theres a rubber seal) and just felt wet mud! Swore at it a bit but still didnt work so next week i think i will strip it down and clean it . Fairly sure its just blocked up. See you there.

Turbocharger Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 My pics from today's outing: Within 10 mins of setting off: Andy Cowman introduces himself to the forum in his "Submarine": Following the GPS to find tracks: Even when they weren't evident on the ground! Doe? A deer. Perhaps female. A spot more water: A lineup near Stonehenge: The henge itself: At lunchtime, we stopped alongside a large puddle for sandwiches. As we were packing up, some motorbikes came past, which Chris watched. Since he's a smart cookie, when one dived into the puddle he stepped back to avoid getting wet. Sadly, the Plain used the oldest comedy trick in the book: Overall, top day out despite too many red flags although we hardly saw any snow.

andy.cowman Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Well done on getting out there.

Blippie Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Nice photos, but there is scare mention of cake... Did it turn into a cakeathon? Unfortunately I've got a dodgy CV joint so until I've sorted that out I'm not venturing far from home. Managed to have a little bit of fun in the snow yesturday, including giving a mate's mum a driving lesson. "Just take your feet off everything and let the Land Rover drive itself." "Don't be silly, it can't drive itself. Ooooh! We're heading towards a steep bit! What do I do? Hey, it's driving itself! How does it do that?" It's good to keep her happy. She's got a double garage and a large driveway. I can see my next project sitting there. She also bakes a nice cherry cake. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 No, no cake in the end - it was just a 'thon' really. Cake for the next one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Jenkins Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 D'you know when your next trip might be? I think I owe some sort of cake-based fine for missing this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
