[supersurf]

what a great days fun

myself einstein and grendle embarked on an epic journey today

we started the day at mcdonalds for a change

where upon arrival the G wagen had a problem

grendle was underneath with his spanners before we have even had breakfast  

our first coffee break



i turn my back for 2 seconds and einstein was in there cutting the cake  



talk about help yourself i ask you the cheek of the boy  











here we have young einstein walking down the lane throwing sticks for his imaginary friend  









we had to stop as grendles snorkel was hanging on for dear life









einstein was keen as usual to open the gates





as you can see lots of smoke on the road today

we were following a brand new vw    





its one of them best 4x4 by far again still broken from the last time we passed it in 1984  

hes even joined the  AA  and not even they could fix it  









the aliens have landed











grendle could not work out where all the leaves came from  



that will be the window half down then  







a little pixie house













we soon caught up to that vw as we could see the smoke for miles  



big thanks to all that came out today

till the next adventure

What an excellent days laneing

As Lee states I had to remove a totalled Steering Damper from the Total Off Road Day. I'm sure Einstein will post suitable pics

We visited some fantastic country side, I only wish my pics captured it, my cameras not happy!

 

























One Cake between 3....I'm a bit caked out



The lanes were very dusty today!






Going....Going



Gone













We have moved on from zip ties for roadside repairs


Bungees are the new fix all kit





This was my first ever lane!





Came round a corner and though Lee had blown up........should have known better!



I like interesting walls...sorry I just do!







You can just make out the tree under Lees car









Just refining the fix





Some very tight lanes today



Lee seeing me under a overhanging tree...ta mate









This tree was just hanging!







HaPPY daYS!

yes we did do some great lanes today

i clearly forgot all about the lane in your last picture

where i went to the corner of the lane to check how far we would be able to get down

it was a good job we opted to reverse out at that point as the ground was getting softer the more we went in   

and a good call it was 

as we had trouble getting out of the lane even from the part we did reach

as im sure einsteins photos will show

First, thanks to lee for letting me navigate  

What a brilliant day laneing  

Grendle was having trouble before we even went for breakfast


It turned out that Grendle had destroyed his steering dampener and wanted to remove it




Then we finally went for some breakfast before heading for some lanes


Oops, time to get the chainsaw out rather than scratching the shogun  


We decided to do a few lanes that wed never done before, unfortunately we only got halfway before having to reverse back out  
At which point grendle got stuck in the mud  


so out came the rope


and after a quick pull, grendle was free once again


Some quick thinking, and grendle was ready to try again




Then it was time for lee to reverse


and he managed it with just one go!!


After a quick turnaround we were ready to go




Another lane that had to be aborted due to too many fallen trees  






Down into the hole we go








What's this?


There must be a Land Rover broken down behind the hedge




Lee decided to help grendle safely through the trees










Grendle decided he wanted to fly through the water  




And then he went back so he could do it all again








Then it was time for a quick wash at Tesco's Lee Mill to end the day




Thanks to lee for the lovely cake as well
