JST Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Fancy a fun challenging weekend - try the J33P 2 day Culmhead Challenge on 19-20 Sep 09. Punches are set to suit all types of vehicle with optional Special Stages and a possible night navigation exercise. Suitable for standard none winch vehicles although there will be enough to keep the modifieds happy as well. Usually a good social weekend too. Registration is through J33P which you will have to join although it is free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brookers Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 JST, you will have another photo opportunity this year as I'm trying to get a suitable Landrover T-shirt to wear whilst in the j**p, trying to find "I would rather push my LR than drive a J**P" (completly ignoring your sarky attitude ) Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ101 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Will Walfy be wearing a lid this year? or will he have an adult supervising him Brookers No,, he's going to be assigned his own H&S Marshall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well, after helping set up for the last couple of years,, Time to join in the fun this year,,, Entry's gone in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy2268 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 James / Tim, As we will unfortunately be unavailable to recover Walfy from the scenery this year, could you please insist that he is tethered to his vehicle at all times to prevent him flying too far and becoming an environmental hazard ?

TJ101 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Actually,, Have you seen those new type of riding body projectors !!! ?? The ones that inflate when you fall off a horse,, was going to lend him one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy2268 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Do they do 'Walfy' in the size selector ? I think what he needs is an inflatable roll cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well what a cracking event! Sun shone all weekend and James set all the punches at just the right level IMHO - enough to make you think a bit, and even a few to crease your seat a bit but not the full on challenge series level. Perfect. The two night stages against the clock were the highlight for me - never had so much fun. And to top it all, not a single dent in the truck, although that is probably down to Mark's abilities as co-driver - thanks a lot mate! More of the same please James!

treebloke Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Bish got his winch blanket wet so decided to hang it out to dry. These two lads did quite well for a near standard Disco, especially when they appeared out the night stage with half a tree hanging out the door There was some sticky mud Does anyone know which side the punch card is Ah'a its on this side, they spent 10 minutes turning the Jeep around to find the punch card was on the other side, then had to turn it around again. The co-driver has a LHD and forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treebloke Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 There was a rambler on site And the ramblers mate Took a couple of attempts to get the strop right but they got the punch in the end. So much better when you do not head butt the winch hook. They were having a good couple of day's with a very fast night stage. Here Pugwash is asking Tim why he does'nt own more 4x4's, he is on his second one and he has broken that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 And to top it all, not a single dent in the truck...... Whoops! Scratch that! Removing the accumulation of mud has shown that the front diff pan and QT guard are not the same shape as they once were and the Sumo track rod is doing a bit of yellow fruit impersonation too. Can't blame Mark for the diff - I managed to pick out a large stump in a sea of mud - nice skills Bish! Fortunately the diff isn't leaking so it will just be a new Gwyn Lewis weld on guard and a Bearmach track rod. Going to have a go at making my own track rod protector... maybe....then again, I might just cough up for one of Gwyn's...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume your front diff guard has twisted sideways exposing the front of the diff?- Mine did exactly that and after straightening it for the fourth time I got fed up and binned it... I was gutted to have missed this event- bloody work (oh and a minor 15 year anniversary) got in the way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 The guard didn't twist - just bent under the impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Can't blame Mark for the diff - I managed to pick out a large stump in a sea of mud - nice skills Bish! Well at the start of the event you did say you where only bothered about not bending wings, doors, or glass, you didn't mention anything about the bits underneath! Cleaned the mud off my boots and don't appear to have picked up any damage, so all ready for the next event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
