Been home an hour now and not surprised to see a thread up already.
Wot a weekend!
Me and the missus would like to say a big thankyou to 90boy for being our guide for the day on Saturday.
A very long, intense and extremely enjoyable time was had.
This was our first time in Wales offroading and rock made a nice change from mud!
And yes, I did some water but Corwen Carwash was far too deep for a V8.
Even Simon wimped out and he's more daft than me.
But I did make up for it by climbing that steep bank on top the mountain 90boy
Another big thankyou to Drewster whose idea it was to go on the trip in the first place and for booking the accomodation - nice one mate!
We will post piccies soon, but it will take a while to sort out the several hundred taken to a few nice ones.
We got DVs fixed this morning for the trip home - only place we could get a new donut coupling was about 25 miles away on Anglesea, not
even the main stealer had one in stock.
Hopefully it will now hold together for the chip run

I never got stuck.

Massive thanks to everyone for the weekend, Drewster for the invite, sorting the accomodation an being a top bloke all weekend - Cheers mate.

90 Boy for showin us around an helping to bust me car

BoomerV8 and Zan79 for being there an making our lodge a real laugh all weekend,

and Lastly to MuddyDisco4 for crawling underneath my car and helping me out.

Seems like my Disco prefers 2 wheel drive and goes along quite nicely.

The bastid rubber coupling on the rear prop destroyed itself in 320 miles and 2 green lanes. Brand new and put on just before this trip as the original looked a bit iffy Will post piccies soon.

Mine escaped quite wellk at Corwen, just a bit through heater into passenger footwell. Got more water in it when trying to get it fixed so we could get back. Ran well in Mondo mode for about 80 miles. Finally got a new bit today to come home.
