Yes as said Slindon Safari is opening on Monday 29th March I and my mates will be there, I expect it to be a very busy day, anyone else coming? Rick

Silly me thought it was a bank Holliday, but it is not so going anyway, but not sure what sort of turnout it will be as many will be working, let you all know tomorrow, Rick

Go for it Rick 😊

Yep did that Pete, had a good day, lots there but not overcrowded, this was us 20 after arriving

As no trees around put 5 pins in this and it pulled us out a treat

Until we hit this, so put the other 5 in and it stayed solid, but the Dyneema suffered, it was already old and full of Slindon grit so later in the day it gave out

Hey Rick, hope you mustered a smile yesterday 😀
Going back to your rad cleaning lance.
Years ago I made an old fire extinguisher into a pressure washer. Took it with me on pay n play days just to hose off the rad while the mud was still wet.
Basically inserted a schreader valve in the head. Fill two thirds full of tap water and pressurise with tyre inflator. The good thing about it was not being too aggressive on the fins.

Yes Pete had all the grand kids round for an Easter egg hunt, we had trampoline and a couple of go kart thingies, so much fun was had by all.

I like your fire extinguisher idea, might just do one of those, Rick
