Please tell me it's not raining up there cos after a week of forecasting sunny weather it's now peeing it down here[emoji90]

disco924 · Apr 11, 2015

well its only raining abit but should clear later, thanks to the 3 who turn'd up this morning
but it was'nt worth you trying to tag along on road tyres like i said in your pm's all terrain at least would be needed, not low profile pirelli,s like the chap had on his p38 & those rims would have been foobar'd at the first rocky section. but never mind for those of you coming tomorrow i,ve cracked on. give me a bell about 6pm & i,ll let you know where abouts i am for meeting up

Cheers for a great day, woke up at ten pass three thanks to my eldest son clomping to bed and got home just after ten at night, next time I think a holiday in is in order:yawn:

Had to get a pic of the space aged bog in Corwen, it certainly earned it's 20p

optomistic weather forecast

actual weather

That first hill doesn't look much in the pictures..

before and after shot

again doesn't look much

I,m glad I went first down here, not many 4x4's been down it for a while

even if the gate was wide enough I don't think we could have carried on though

Trailwise..

and then an action shot of a different kind

Danny said there was some sort of altercation with a farmer, fortunatly I had some urgent emails I had to look at and saw nothing:lalala:

Some cracking scenery though

And a couple of Dave's action shots

The automatic opening tail gate

And the roofrack getting the good news..

and again

Much to the bewilderment of the locals..

Once again thanks for a great day out

Went down one lane that the farmer had basically block by putting in a small gate and he proper kicked off when we turned around and drove back along it, accussed us of tresspassing on his land so Dave has reported it, other than that is was superb, could only have been better if it wasn't blowing a gale for most of the day

Thanks for that picture of the recovery of my wheel cover I ran down that hill like usain bolt with that wind behind me haha. Was a great day out though. Also a pic of the rescue of the lamb who fancied the look of my landy instead of its own mother lol

You might have ran down like Usain Bolt but you came back up like Barry White

as long as you had a good day as i said that gate was,nt there in end of december been using that river crossing for over 15 years. more or less. but he knew exactly what he'd done for the first words out of his mouth to be you trepass'd in my field to get round that gate. but i've got his abuse and fist waving all on camera. i,ve just got to sort a new hd video editing program at some point this week then i'll stick the abusive farmer to some benny hill music and danny running after his wheel cover and post it for viewing

MrMayze · Apr 13, 2015
