Have you got permission for a winch yet :D

Not sure what use it would have been today, it would have winched you forward into even more mud :confused:

Of course if I had one, that would have worked (note to nrgserv - see I do need a winch :D)

:rolleyes: I already have shackles and a high lift (you should remember cause its yours :p) Tim and I considered using it today, we just didn't know how :eek:

My brother gave me a shovel/trenching tool thing that he brought back from the Gulf War but its in the boot of my Focus.

Rope is now on the shopping list :D

The rest I have no idea about, but I will :D
 
Good practice session at an off road site sounds in order .... Need to sort winch tray out for the disco ...... Or scrap the disco and sort the 110 out lol damn disco,

On another note anyone gotta top hose for a 300tdi disco one kicking around , and possibly a rad too

This lane was my first introduction to the world of laning.

To set the scene, one saturday night during August 2000 I had picked a mate up from the pub about 9pm on a saturday night, drove past another mates house and discovered him and NRG were about to set off laning (yes at 9pm on a sat night) - Can't remember how the convo went, but I didn't have a 4x4 at the time so ended up hitchin a ride in the back of NRG's 109, sharing the back seat with various oily bits of land rover, an excitable black dog and a petrol driven flymo.

All started well, we had an 88 leading the convoy, then a mate in his S1 and us at the back in the 109, did the ford at dob park, then onto this lane.

Approached from the opposite end which Sue and Tim used, walked a bit of it and decided it looked 'a bit wet' in the middle, so sent the S1 down solo, the S1 broke the surface, then sunk to the top of the wheels in the same sort of place, got the 109 as close as we dared to drag it back out, I got out of the 109 and sunk up to my chest in a bog, once I had been dragged out of the bog, we eventually got the S1 hooked up to the 109 with a selection of good tow ropes, not so good towropes, ratchet straps and possibly dog leads (about 60ft in total)

The 109 couldn't get enough traction to recover, so then found yet more questionable lengths of rope and attached the 88 to the back of the 109 and eventually got everything free sometime in the early hours of sunday morning.

A few weeks after that, I bought a landy, but thats a story for another day

LOL, I can imagine that. Still sharing with a Flymo has to be better than a lift home in the back of my 90 with Neil and a tonne bag of shavings :eek::eek:

I was remembering that story when the ropes broke and wondering if we would be there all night

Brilliant videos :D:D:D:D

I don't have sound working on mine, can you hear me telling you not to go down that last lane :p:p:p:p:p:p

And can you edit the wrong turn I took cause the electric gate opened for me :eek::eek::eek:

I wondered why there were three tracks in that lane when you got out, you can see them in my pics. I just realised from the video that it looks like someone had been down it before
