Slindon Sunday 13th

[solarman216]

Heading for this one and taking my grand daughter and her feller, had some rain recently and more on the way so should be a good day out, anyone wanting to join is more than welcome, needles to say I am mad for winching, Rick

[elty001]

A bit far for me to travel.
Have a good one and don't forget the vids and pics:thumb2

One of these adventures we will have to make a club outing and make a weekend of it.
Have a great time with two of your favourite things, family and playing trucks.

All the kit needed for a good day at Slindon, ignore the date, need to reset camera, keep forgetting :doh, looks like it should be nice and muddy with all this rain we have had, Rick

[solarman216]

Just swapped the wheels round, these are now on the truck so all ready to go, Rick

What are those silver bars/grid top right Rick?

[solarman216]

To lay on the ground to stop synthetic rope abrading and breaking, also have some short scaffold poles for heavier jobs, Rick

[solarman216]

Sadly Granddaughter and her guy could not make it, (great grandchild sick)

So first winch of the day, plenty of mud too

This one is a bit more difficult, still driving but getting too close to the tree, so 3 straps, 3 blocks for a sideways winch

Tail end

On the move

[solarman216]

Going well

[solarman216]

Change front pull point to gain forward motion

[solarman216]

Ready to drive

[solarman216]

Stuck getting onto level road

Mr Patrol decided to go off to the left

[solarman216]

Another tree to the rescue

[solarman216]

OSR drops into a hole, but ready to drive out now, thats all for this trip, might have some video of it later, Rick

[jims-terrano]

Looked great Rick and some technical winch work going on too.

[solarman216]

It was Jim but I do have to say that on my own it was very hard work, and on reflection a bit risky, as perhaps I only needed to slip and do damage, that in effect I might not get help for a while, but better lucky than rich I say, it was a good day and I would/will do it again, Rick

[Blocky10]

You're the man Rick. :bow

[jims-terrano]

Yep you only live once and lifes for enjoying :thumbs
