getting exited
just watching weather
lots of rain during the week and high pressure for Friday and the weekend
hope theres plenty of water about but not so much I wish I had a snorkel....
all my camping gear is packed. No roughing it for us though. in fact im worried I wont be able fit my toaster in:lol
Saturday I will have my cooker in the truck with plenty of buxton water,coffee,tea bring your own cups and buscuits.
bit worried I haven't had much experience.and my wife ( Jacqui and daughter skye) will be with me. but they are prepared to get out and watch me make a tit of myself:lol.
is the bomb hole compulsory?
will have my cb on if any one has one?

 

[exosteve]

Don't think this will cause a problem tyre just a bit out side the rear flap, what do others think? Rick

mine stick out more than that mate..

Viewed from the top is the key legally. The tread part , not the wall, needs to be covered :thumbs

Don't worry about it, Your in good hands. All of the lanes are easy with a few more technical sections.

Bomb hole you can drive around so not compulsory.

Most of use have cbs.

going to be more thrills than alton towers with stunning scenery and a lot less people

Bally hell forgot all about the tow bar, will be off tomorrow, by the way do you know a good Bricky near Swansea, Rick

 

[Fez_uk]

Are these trips okay for a standard truck and fairly inexperienced ( in off roading ) driver? I would love to come sling on one but worried as Mav is my daily car and would I hold everyone up by my lack of knowledge?

You would be fine, But some of the lanes the stone can be a bit sharp that's why I advise ATs minimum. Although I know of plenty of standard 4x4s who drive them without any issue.

 

[Fez_uk]

OK all sorted, booked in at the Black Lion Strata, and this is the motor I will be using, sporting its new 31's, while I had the wheels of found a bit of play in the NS TRE and also the main link arm so nicked the whole lot from my scrapper Oh and finally fitted the idler bushes I got from makeitfit, Rick

Hi Rick, Glad your comming and we can finally meet. Your staying a few mins from saturday meeting spot. If you like we can have a drink friday as your a few mins from home? If so PM me your mobile :thumbs

I run it on ATs anyway as some of the tracks on Dartmoor can be pretty rough, friends live in some pretty weird places lol.

 

[makeitfit]
