Glad it went well for you mate and they enjoyed it?

Well if they wanna become 'ornery sluts' they best PM me!

(Bucks needs a mate to discuss battery life on his hearing aid anyways:D)

Did you guys had fun?

we went to check 4 fords along the A338 near Porton...3 werent very deep, but the 4th one the water was up to the top of bumper (on a std disco)...

after this we went up to the plains near Bulford Camp and Tidworth after doing a couple of lanes...
Was unbelivable! I just could not believe how dry everything is.... one of the fords crossing just at buldford enntrance is completly dry..just a litte puddle there....
Even the Nine Mile river crossing is completly dry....including the whole river bed that goes up to tidworth...

The clay hole just after tidworth still had water, but then again I think there must be a source nearby as the water level doesnt seem to drop...
 
had a proper good day yesterday, big thanks to Disco71 for takin us round!! an a big thanks aswell for tieing my front wing back on! cant believe i ripped it off within 10 mins of being out, 1st lane and only half way down it!! i agree about freelanders :eek: was quite surprised he never got stuck a single time, and expected to have to pull him out the water but he made it through (and with less in-car swimming matter than some lol). as for map reading ...... less said the better;)
