nunny,was that you swimming?
yeh it was budy,only 2nd obstacle of day,i followed my boss rite into the deep side which is more silty,and weeds their ,he used the arb air lockers,which i dont have,and i was well stuck,only option was to get out and have a swim,my lad was laughing his cock off in passenger seat,think that proves my snorkle works l.o.l....and it gave people sumat to talk about,just got a bit cold towards end of day though.
 
the water in the cab was covering my seat,well they are called bucket seats,ha ha.my lad got some pics on his phone ,al have to try get them off him
 
It was faultless through water.....mind I didn't do any really deep stuff (the muddy tide mark was up to top of headlights). Thinking the deepest it went was about 3/4 up the wheels, so nowt extreme....
I can live with that;)

Yeah, was seriously busy in parts, tho we spent more time down by the back fence n woods where numbers were thinned out a bit.
Got fed up a few times waitin for motors gettin stuck on roadies (thought it says on their website and paperwork on the day not to do most routes on them?!)...tho resisted papping the horn (others didn't by the sounds of it):eek:

It was a good day tho. The best day as I've tested the grip limit today.. with a bit of luck mate Rob will upload his short films of me doin one of the better black routes, with some nice dents/battle scars achieved:D. And cheers to whoever it was who gave me a winch when I got stuck at 45 degrees to a tree:doh:.....ah well, I picked up some experience today which is a bonus:cool:

Soz we couldn't stick around later on...I was clock watchin, and wanted to get in some more drivin before we headed home
ace glad you sorted the water trouble out,and yep that place was rammd today,i liked the 2 tray backs ,the yellow and orange one,mega bucks though ,outa my league,,maybe we will meet their soon joe,looks like ive a gearbox to swap 1st

Nice motor and great pics..

Those modulars with Simex tread pattern tyres look very familiar :)
Think a nice external roll cage would've helped me out today!
 
I'd probably be less worried about breakin windows if I did stuff like the steps if I had one fitted.
That puddle looks very familiar too.
 
hi all... just got in.... left at 1, managed to start disco at 2 mins past 3.... near enough...

sorry nunny i thought you had a darker green motor for some reason... kept lookin for a dark green one????? i'm a bit odd...

did ya manage to find my phone efi?? i'll kno not to keep my phone in roof pocket next time i do them steep climbs... think ive got a lump on my ed where it bounced off before exiting throught he window...

new tyres made a big difference... good day all in all..

lookin fwd to rudland rigg next sat...

good vids them joe and good pictures too nunny... got any vid of your swim???
 
no worries nick,must be some out their somewere,the amount of people taking pics etc,,,i now have the pics from the cab,but on my mobile so i will have to work out how to get them on here
 
sounds like fore fun...

only person i saw stuck was a disco near the smaller pond.. the track gets quite narrow an he slid off the side .. stopped as he realised was gonna roll into small pond if he moved...

it was a bit too busy today.. they should really limit numbers... there must of been three times as many today than last 2 months...

think i did see ya in the car park lookin at yr photos... was admirin yr motor... from afar...
 
Yeah, Rob n I were thinkin much the same as we queued to get in. Saw a fire/safety inspector van drive past us, so we were thinkin the max limit for insurance purposes had been reached, but no, people were goin direct to the cabin to sign in this time. maybe cos it was raining? really don't know.
In fairness to Parkwood, they're a darn sight better organised than some other pay n play sights.....and judging from what we were hearin on the CB the marshalls had their hands full at times...mainly clearing people away from their recoveries etc causin road blocks I think
 
suppose ime guilty for one of the roadblocks,due to people hearing over cb that i was stuck in the water,,the crowd just kept getting bigger,,ha ha,,ya right about the marshalls .they were working hard,i was cringing when i erd over the cb a disco was nearly going over,and they had it stappd to a tree to stop it, i love this place,so much fun,,,
 
Everyone gets stuck nunny...part of the fun sometimes I guess. What gets me tho is folk stopping to av a chat about it without considering if anyone can get by them to pass or not. I mean, people queued up behind would be ****ed if they saw two cars alongside each other parked up in middle of a road while the drivers were chattin or elsewhere watchin other things, so it just seems real weird to me that ya see it at the off road sites. Id like to think I did most o my chattin by the butty van with a coffee and smoke on the go.
Probably not a problem when normal numbers, maybe worse cos it was so busy on sunday? dunno? What do others think?
