I'm sure the others will be along soon when they are back with some pictures, they will have all had a better time than me as I was only really able to do 1/2 a days laning before I managed to bend my steering idler arm and damaged the joint on the centre steering bar, was meant to be laning with the guys on Monday but spent half the day limping it home via Terranobreakershropshire's place for a new idler am and then home to fit it.

I'm sure Elty, Paultrol & The Patrolman will be along with some snaps of their own but here's some of mine for now

First lane we drive on the Sunday and this rock kills Elty's tyre

This was the result of slamming into the rock the other carefully navigated up, totally my fault for not waiting for someone to spot me and being a hero :doh

Steering wheel in straight ahead position here;

A Polish guy in a Y61 that we met going up one of the lanes he was just coming back down, lovely Y61 and not a bad gate opener either :eek: :naughty

Great pics. I'll have to get myself organised and out on one of these group weekends.
 
Quality photos banshee:thumb2 there was no way of a temp fix then? How the hell did you manage to drive it home like that:eek:

Temp fix was to get a tow rope wrapped round the idler, attach the other end to the deceptacon trol and roll back down the hill until it was straight, it got me home :lol, new idler arm is now on and steering is somewhat normal again but I've created a lot of play in my tie rod and centre steering bar ball joints now :doh
