Here we go.

First stop - weather was being relatively kind to us - cold and windy but next to no rain until we'd finished the lanes and were off for a well deserved Maccy D's

On the way down to a couple of fords (not the Mudano or Focus kind):

Not long after this, I asked Sue if I still had a front bumper attached.. bloody concealed drainage channel!

Bumper still attached, but terrain 2, foglights nil (the other one's got a busted lens)

Cracking shot of John negotiating the switchback - Discos are big, but I love 'em!

Looking back at the "yellow road" from my nearside rear window.

A pity I never took any pics of the tippy bit, but I was too excited, and a little scared about getting "technical". Was the highlight of my day though - I got out and hugged the Disco afterwards! (kinky bar steward! :eek: :p :D).

Thanks to Sue & Zip for sorting the trip and leading. And a big thank you to everyone in the group. Once again the banter was great, no one broke owt (well, owt important that is :eek: :eek: :rolleyes: not foggy yet anyway!). Good to see Beaver and his good lady along in his Defender...which has shrunk and turned a darker colour! ;) ;)

John (discovery2TD5) those Hankooks look good on the Landy.

:tea: :tea:
CHEERS!
