Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 So anyway, great trip, thanks to GBMUD for not making it happen. Great company and a great set of lanes, many whcih were completely new to me. No damage to truck though I have a click on front articulation that needs investigation! So here are a few pics for starters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 Our group did the Corwen Carwash on Saturday night. Being not very brave we sent our sacrifical Sticky in first as his truck was least valuable! Since it only came to the top of the headlights we all went through with nothing more untoward than wet carpets and my AA road Atlas which is now drying out on the Aga! There are some good vids out there which will probably come to light eventually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 There are some good vids out there which will probably come to light eventually! Give me a chance !!!!

MrsRaceface120 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 My better half (Pete Attryde) has already posted his thanks but I'd like to add mine too and as I was in charge of the camera I've fought for the right to post the pics! Was lovely to meet everybody (either again or for the first time) and Neil/Les did a great job leading our group so special thanks to them! Maybe if all the "little jobs" are done on the 90 in time for next year I might get to go behind the wheel and Pete can be photographer for a change!

landroversforever Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 some beautiful shots there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Here's some of my photos - they're pretty self-explanatory, apart from the shot of Si with his "darts player's salad", and the shot of three blokes in the dark explaining why they would cross the swollen river, with the eddies on the surface and a steady flow faster than walking pace, but they've just changed their tyres / rewired their radio / don't know the area etc... Best part of the weekend: the entertainment value of the CB, which I only threw into the truck as an afterthought on Friday morning. Low point of the weekend: being caught up on the Wayfarer by a massive group of Jap offroaders - they were queued away around the corner, in a ridiculous size group. I saw them on the way home too, as I headed out of Bala, and they give the rest of us a bad name. As I said earlier, thanks to everyone involved for playing their part but particularly to Chris - I owe you a pint. Edit: I've put a , and since I'm pressing the buttons, I get to pick the clip where I don't get stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 AHHa see you stopped at the knockin shop too John! We saw that big group on splashy lane as we were having lunch. I think there were at least 15 trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) We seem to have discovered the secret of running a V8 although I didn't see him get many customers. Pete. Edited November 8, 2009 by Pete Attryde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantpot1961 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Well managed to brake the D2 on Sat. Thanks to Paul Humphreys and Turbocharger for recovery and advice. Got back home at about 9pm thanks to the RAC. I managed to smash the planet gears in the rear diff. Sripped the rear diff today here is a pic of the gears. Other than this had a brillient day on Sat cheers fellas. Take Care, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Mark - I've got a 24-spline centre for a Disco1 / RR / Defender diff in the garage if it'd help - I know you're in a hurry to get the car back. I could courier it to you by Wednesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantpot1961 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Cheers John, I've got a complete diff in the shed. Knowing these are prone to failier I got it of fleebay last year. Thank anyway mate. Hope you enjoyed the rest of the weekend. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Be honest Paul... There's probably not a lane in Wales you couldn't identify. Thanks for your help with routes and information. We re-shaped a couple of wings everso slightly on the Wayfarer but after trying to straddle the bank and gulley had to resort to getting through the patch in a 2nd low, diff locked with a bit of grunt sort of way. James... After spending too much time on Wayfarer we didn't get to Pheasant pen steps.... I'm sort of glad we didn't have enough time !
