Yep that is correct my last pay and play of the year, I am going in my patrol and towing a trailer with a Bobcat skid steer loading shovel that has been in my workshop for more than a week being refurbished, it is now up and running and my mate Dave who owns it wants to put it through its paces, I have spoken with John the site owner and he is happy as long as it passes his scrutinising, it is narrow but low centre of gravity, I think he will roll it but time will tell, Rick

sorry to say the Bobcat will not be joining us due to an unsurmountable problem, so just me in my Patrol and a T2, Rick

A good day at Slindon today, within 15 mins of arriving we were purposely fully stuck and I chose a place with not much to winch to, the tree just to the left was only good for about a 3 Mtr pull, out of site to the right was a fallen tree, we tried that but it broke in half, must have been rotten, so out with the ground anchor, tried 5 pins first but it moved

The cavalry arrived to drive in the other 5 pins and out she came no bother, no rear wheel drive as diff was grounding out all the way, got video of all but only had time to check that it is good, again much more winching through out the day but no time for stills, Rick
