Sunday 29th december 2013 the full to the brim tour

Yet another great day out in the lanes  

we met at the pub for breakfast and if i may say so myself it was most delicious all 3 plates of it  

lots of people took an interest for todays lanes
so we had to adopt the car share yet again
we had 3 members in each car
to allow for new members to join us today  
rather than dragging a huge convoy along



we swiftly moved out onto the road which was still iced up in parts
proper cold this very morning in plymouth-shire
we headed out to do some old favourites

this did make me laugh grendles big clamp holding on the cb speaker  



i looked back only to see farmer sitting in comfort in the G wagen with his provisions for the day  



im not to sure if we have enough for the day

our driver for the day is grendle







is ok lads he cries    dont bother with the chainsaw i have my pocket knife on me  

grendle whips this beauty out  



he must have real big pockets to fit that bad boy in  

grendle was having a moments piece just to eat a worthers original  



we waited for what seemed like ages for the others to arive

in fact it was so long this guy emptied the whole contents of his boot bit by bit  



then we were off once again



chunkster was even on the same cb wave length as everyone else now



oh no the jimny has broken  



we stopped for a well earned tea break where farmer said grendles bought the sponge today  



hmm i dont fancy eating that  



but these look great



matt has dented the car



we went on further to a deep part of another lane so deep in fact the G wagen started to take on water  

i was looking through the cd collection for the sound track to TITANIC

a most fitting theme as captain she is taking on water
i think she is sinking
farmer was looking for the sponge to tie to his chest as we seamed to have left the armbands at home



we managed to stay afloat and get back to the shore

then grendle got back out again

he is like robinson crusoe with his new pocket knife

first he chops down this



then this big tree fell over  



a little further up the track grendle wanted to stop and chop this one also  

wow mate i hope you got spare blades for that knife  

after grendle cut through the biggest part of this tree

we remembered we had the chainsaw in the boot

grendle didnt look so happy  

we all had a go dan farmer wadey and myself

we were also helped to tow the big chunk out of the way by a passing landrover defender whos name i didnt get

but many thanks to that man  

it took a bit to get through but we just love a challenge  





it was tight









we carried on till it was proper dark



then headed back to home for a well earned rest as myself and farmer needed it

i have never laughed so much on a day out ever before grendle kept us entertained all day

what a laugh

big thanks to all that came out today

till the next adventure

Totally agree Lee, thanks again. Me and my lad had a great day, sorry we had to shoot off during the tree cutting but I had to get him back. Hope you got it shifted in the end.

Unfortunately my camera died a couple of days ago so no pictures I'm afraid  .

Thanks to evryone who came too.

Until next time.......

Me and mrs chunks had a lovely day today. Nice fry up to start. Some proper challenging lanes today.  Had a nice lunch break while we watched 4 chain saw men cut down a small twig for 2 hours. 
only got a bit of damage today only lost a couple of small bits. Door mirror bumper trim and oooo my rear window. Lol.

Thank agian for a great day out in the mud!

Was a good day out, some good lanes in devon and they are nice and close together. finally got a decent battle scar after my attempt of thowing it down panters bridge failed 

think i need to get some plastic windows next, even though it was quiet amusing seeing daniel scrabbling across the back seat as the glass makes that ominous squeeking before its about to pop. how it didnt i dont know, just a scratch.

thanks too Lee leading with decent routes as usual.

look forward to the next one

  what a great day out traveling in the back of Grendles G Wagon



 the G Wagon made light work of this gnarley lane







 the G Wagon started to take on water this was a little scarey



 when we came across this fallen tree we had to deploy chainsaw man





 lucky this land rover was on hand to pull the cut log out for us







  many thanks to Grendle & you are welcome to jump if i have a spare seat any time also to Lee for the entertainment on the day

So I had a day out driving Lee and Farmer round. They had a great time, joke after joke all at my expense! On two occasions I thought I was going to have to stop to give Farmer CPR as he was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe! We had lulls while they troffted the toffees, but these were short lived 

The tree has to go into folklore, don't ever tell Lee he can't do something!

Simon showed us how to do the Devils Steps with style!

Damage report, I ran into a Granite wall with a hell of a bang…..the boys got out to inspect the damage thinking mashed wing and bumper…but luckily I'd just cracked the plastic bumper end cap….happy days as Lee would say.

 Thanks for an excellent day out Chaps nice to meet new folk too.

And Farmer you're on mate!

[supersurf]

i forgot we hit the wall   

we did expect the worse from the impact   

farmer even dropped some of his sweets   

but on inspection it literally was just a small split in the plastic end cap   

we could not believe it   

as for the tree it was only a small one

[m_attt]

I needed a new desktop wallpaper, so had to make it dramatic
