Cracking first day out in the truck no breakages  Grin

And the navigator doubles as a gate operator













we had a lovely view on the coffee break  Cheesy



And we even saw some power rangers admiring the view

Great day, thanks again Lee for the expert route planning, despite having a navigator struggling with his left and right! Sorry I had to split early, Jonathan was disappointed too as he was having fun.

Croc I really couldn't take the 20p you offered me for fuel as I'm sure you'll need every penny you have to keep your Land Rover on the road  Roll Eyes

Had a quick look at the pictures my photographer (Jonathan) took but as he is a little short they are mostly of my dashboard! I'll sort the better ones and get them up later.....

The word of the day was "Sloppy....."!

A great day out, in mostly beautiful sunshine, with not a mechanical issue in sight! 

Many thanks to Lee, and to his apprentice, Jordan, for a great set of lanes. 


A full line up













Just the one, teeny little puff ball cloud, so, where did all the mud come from?!?







That was steeper than it looked....







Spoonboy getting up to some angle







Changing the order.




Following the shiny Disco.




And then the 5" lifted Pajero!!










A touch tight...











I'm uploading some dash cam videos to Youtube, so search for the channel MarkM76 to view. 

Many thanks again to all for a great day.  See you for another one.

Even so he didn't need to worry, as with the suspension and body lift all his panels are higher than the stone walls!! No need for parking sensors when you're above the obstructions.

Hi all

A great day ! Good lanes and beautiful weather to admire the Devon countryside.





Our latest edition was quite tall and wide  Shocked ...thats ok Lee had agreed to be gentle  Cheesy ........remember that it only happens once though  laugh
A good looking truck indeed...welcome to the rabble Grin



We did water



We saw lots of these



We did hills



And plenty of trees



(...which sort of makes a silly poem if you read it back again, totally by accident  laugh)

anyway

Croc had a new vehicle and very well it did too !....that is, it kept going for the whole day without breaking down !



The weather continued to be kind







Late in the day it did start to rain so we took cover in the forest



....we liked it so much we went back in the reverse direction in reverse order. me at the front and Lee at the back....felt very strange :laugh


Cheers for the navigation to Lee and Jordan bearing in mind the 'technical difficulties' you were having.Jordan was an ace gate opener too.

Good fun company and lanes-Top job Grin Grin Grin Grin

My first day out and had a really good time, Thanks everyone.
 
I didn't get many good pictures as I had the wrong memory card in the camera! Here are a few of the ones I did get. These are probably not in the order they were taken!!















Hopefully I will be out with you again soon!
Cheers
