What a day!

It had everything - fantastic weather, great lanes and good company. Apart from the rediculously brave walker (Fat? Me?), that we encountered in the morning, I think it was a perfect day.

Much appreciation goes to Ian for setting it up and to JJ for leading our group.

There may be a nasty rumour going around soon that I got stuck in a muddy puddle and that it took both JJ and Hippo's combined efforts to overcome my offroad ineptitude! Well all I can say is thanks guys - I'd still be there now if it wasn't for some fantastic work.

However, my Gold Star is reserved for JJ's navigator (sorry but I don't think I asked/was told your name), who not only opened and closed every gate we came to but also got the straps onto my truck while it was (allegedly) stuck in the afore mentioned muddy puddle. -wor- Total respect mate - I owe you a beer.

Hope you all got home safely and I'm looking forward to meeting you all again before too long.

Ian.

 

[Paul]

That would be Andy..Could hear him talking to Mav as Ian couldn't hear him.
By the way So glad I wasn't the only one to get stuck..(allegedly) :lol:

Didn't get to meet JJ yesterday getting there late, was funny listening to JJ & Andy asking Mav to give Ian messages over the CB as Ian couldn't hear them, They told Mav one thing.& Mav told Ian something else.. :lol:
As for Mav & his new toy!!! found every puddle in her! :lol:

Hello All, Sorry for the late post still catching up with what’s going on in the forums.

I would like to say thank you to Ian and JJ for making this Sunday possible and to the members that turned up.
What a fantastic day out in Derbyshire on what turned out to be like a summers day. The ground was mostly dry with just a few wet lanes so that i could get Nellie very muddy for the first time since i have owned her.
Apart from the bad start for Paul332 (Bless him) broadside on the first up hill lane and losing his rear box, the rest of the day was brilliant, I have to recommend it to everyone to try it out at least once then like me you just might just get hooked.
The views were just out of this world, from the hill sides looking down several hundred meters into the valleys below at the fish filled streams brimming over with trout feeding on the left over Ham and Tomato sandwiches topped with a few cheesy "Wotsits", to the red sunset lit hill sides on the opposite side of the valley, Even our highland members would be proud of, Also the viaducts stretching out between the hills.

I did not realise how much the ground clearance would make in Nellie and not having to worry about the bull bar being pulled off, as i took the Maverick last time over the same lanes.

Thanks also to Tubbs, My co pilot and little Tubbs, Also to Cameraman who covered this lanes first which in turn has made it possible for us, as a club to use them,
Also to Shelia for allowing Pudsey out for the day and raising money for our chosen charity.

Sorry i did not get chance to thank JJ and Andy’s crew in the other group.

One last thing, Should we have rescued them 3 sheep? :lol:

Regards,

Mav.

P.s. Dinky, She was good fun, Just need to learn what she can do and what i can expect from her, and how i should drive her too.

Hi guys here are a few photos of the day, the first one is of Paul broadsiding up Leeside, its not a very good picture as it was taken through the screen and it also does not show how STEEP it is on Leeside

I am just testing it with the first one to see if it works.

 

[Paul]

Good pic! see what you mean about it not looking that steep 8O

End of the day only you & Ian made it up there! :lol:

 

[BigG]

Its my favourite lane of the day and my big sister wanted to see what the truck could do.
