sunday 1st june 2014 shaun leads the way

[supersurf]

i was picked up this morning by shaun
my driver for the day in the v8 discovery  

we were soon at mcdonalds for our traditional breakfast  

we were met there also by chris our newest member who was driving the defender 90
and a very tidy one to
he chose the right day to bring it with shaun leading the way
as if the discovery fits then the defender should do to  





we were soon on our way out into the vast unknown
within minutes i was playing with the electric seats again like a big kid  

but oh no  
the seat has had a malfunction and my knees are now stuck touching the dash  
never
shaun said with a smug grin that will teach you to play    

within only a few miles my knees were getting sore



when i looked down i could see my flesh through my trousers  



shaun wanted to stop to admire the tractor







that looks a bit deep even for a landrover with a snorkel  

and everyone knows that landrovers disolve in water  































eathan you got your shirt on inside out    



oh yes so i have  



we stopped for a well earned cup of tea











this is a bit tight sean  



oh no damage

we could use the help of a tree surgeon to pop a plaster on this one  



























never the disco is stuck  



we deployed the winch



its all attached shaun





































i was worn out so i decided to rest my eyes and knees  











































big thanks to all that came out to play today

also to shaun for leading the day on yet another great set of lanes

especially for the bigger cars

till the next adventure

well another cracking day out, good bit of team effort to take the mick out of the only vehicle to get stuck  , and as always great company

Todays chllengers

 





we went down to lopwell but decided because i was in the rav i may not cope with the depth  I think sean was actually worried about his landy dissolving 















Irony at its best   



not stuck!! admiring the scenery 


just to point out EVERYONE else made it through without recovery 









little bit tight







after lee ran out of sweets shaun kicked him out  so i offered him a lift " dog was in the front only space was in the boot", in he got





apparently the rav is too bumpy for lees taste ( he must have got used to the wallow of a landrover  ) so next time he can walk 

Thanks to all again for another fantastic day out.

Till the next time..........................

Another excellent day out with good company and good humour.   

Rumours of the Land Rover getting stuck are largely exaggerated, I just wanted the stretch out the winch rope. 

And the electrical fault on Lee's seat was I'm afraid down to too much breakfast,  I plugged in the diagnostics machine on my return and it came up with fault code *FB101 - One at a time please!*

Here's the Pack…..



What a lovely day ….





The sign said Land Rover’s only so we had to turn around.  The Japanese cars started running rough just from the sound of running water …..







This is why you need to choose you winch attachment points carefully!!





Quick fuel stop for Chris in the Defender, the rest of us used the opportunity to stuff ourselves on Lee’s biscuits …….





Whats it doing up there

















Ah yet another superior vehicle, poetry in motion ……



The Sasquatch, see how he blends in with his surroundings.  A common sight in Devon & Cornwall lanes at this time of year.
