its ok if you do have a winch fitted but the next contestant didnt  ??? ???

so tom got out with his pick and dug a nice channel for simon to drive up

that tom should have a job with the highways division

as he made a lovely ledge

we were breaking into a sweat just watching   :laugh: :laugh:

ooops looks like someone has knocked the fence down  ?

but to be fair the fence posts are completely rotten

we only took this photo to show the fence was already like it before we went past

he did a great job but one piece was jammed between the anti roll bar and the drive shaft

so tom to the rescue with his hammer and chisel

after we had washed and polished the trucks

i inspected the tyres for any damage ?

i noticed something jammed in the rim

so i took the tyre off the bead to get it out

a big lump of tree  ??? ???

good job i noticed it otherwise the tyre could have gone down

The lanes were a challenge today...

One lane particularly gave me an issue as Lee had to winch himself up ahead of me, with no winch. Don't worry he said, I'll give a tow he said, then he did this...

 (http://i731.photobucket.com/albums/ww316/siandang74/160131%20Lanes/160131%20Lanes%20097_zpsscmc77c1.jpg) (http://s731.photobucket.com/user/siandang74/media/160131%20Lanes/160131%20Lanes%20097_zpsscmc77c1.jpg.html)

So from my window with my wheel in the air, I saw this....

Hmm, this could be interesting! I backed up and then we helped Lee,

The final lanes were great fun too.

Lee thought he would try this reading thing he had heard about....

He then went for a climb

Despite the challenge today only Tom had modifications to make to the mighty Land Rover!

If you can't fix it with a hammer it's not a Land Rover!

Great morning out and huge thanks to Lee as always for sorting and Tom for the pick work to get me up the tricky lane.

See you all again soon..... ;D

Hi all

Shame I missed it, that the most troubles I've seen Lee in for a while  :laugh:

Good photos showing the conditions and the fun on the day....looked 'ellish

Top job :) :) :)

What a great day out started with breakfast at the George pub
A great day out on some slippery lane's
My winch didn't come out to play today
A great day out was had by all
Roll on the next day out
Thanks Lee
