20 07 2014 treasure hunt

[supersurf]

firstly could i just say a huge thank you to andy hewett and his son tom

for organising and setting out a great days fun

because the site today was very dry and the fact it was a treasure hunt  

not a full on smash your car up punch hunt

the sun was shining what more could you have wanted

we all met up at the carkeel roundabout for 0900 and a swift 0930 departure down to the woods

andy had a brief chat with everyone regarding the site and gates

then everyone moved off in a relaxed manner to find the treasure    

the day went very well

with some winching sections boggy sections and wet sections

a great site all in all

this landy was travelling in style



hail king andy  





lads you will never be able to pull that car  



oh come on lads there is a winch blanket there please use it  



thats better























a race to the top man verses landrover  

who would win  ?













a rare site these days a fiat panda 4x4  

these guys defo had a lot of fun in this little beauty today  





a heard a smash at one point yep the headlight has exploded followed by the door mirror fell off  



B is for bold  

thats what his t shirt said  



the birthday boy madog  





my alternator light has come on

i think i can fix it  

fix it more like smash it off with a hammer that big mate



he be alright ill just give it a little tap  



we could see smoke

rushed down to the trucks only to find andy and tom

having a full on english breakfast with toast and everything  



here we have tom with his shortened kebab slicing knife to cut a bread roll  

a bit of over kill if you ask me  

one slip with this knife and he wont be cutting his hand hell be chopping his fingers off  



i must say the traybacks are very handy for being able to make ones tea





a nice controlled climb









here we have suzuki phil

king of the mountains in this sj its truly a very special truck as there really arent many places he cant get it







oh no  

excuse me lee am i going the correct way  



no mate you need to take the short cut down there to the next bit of hidden treasure  

are you sure  



















































wow what a great size trophy



andy was sitting up there on the throne again

with his speech in hand he called out to us all  

im sure he thinks he is a gladiator or something    

sitting on the back of his chariot



a trophy for the standard class



and another for the non standards trucks





once again a big thanks to andy hewett and his son tom

for setting out all of the punches and organising the days fun

maybe see you again at the next one
