    Withams

    Is anyone going to look at anything on the Withams Tender list before the tender end date of 7th July. There's a couple of things I'm interested in but I can't get down to view them.

    Landy Ice Cream Van

    It was over on Westcliff yesterday. As I'm on a diet I passed on the ice cream & had fish, chips & mushy peas instead:p

    Middlesbrough collection for me to send courier...

    Hi. I'm 20 miles away in Whitby so could probably do it. Work from home so courier collection would be possible from mine. Let me know if no one else is closer. I've used a courier from Thirsk who regularly travels South.

    What makes the ultimate Defender?

    Based on a standard 200tdi hardtop 110 I'd go for: 1. better A/T tyres, 2. better headlights 3. recovery points, 4. rad haz matting to make it warmer in the winter, 5. comfier seats

    Ok Thanks. I'll see if anyone else can get them further North from you, & I'll get a courier quote in the meantime.

    Wimborne to Loughborough or North Yorks

    I'm bidding on 4 steel wheels & tyres for my Fiat Panda. Seller is in Wimborne. Is anyone going through Wimborne & heading up to Loughborough or Whitby/Teesside/North Yorkshire, that could pick them up. Auction ends in 5 days. Cheers Tim

    Learning about Recovery stuff .. maybe ..

    If we have nearly enough people but split over 2 weekends could we look at a November weekend that we could all do?

    Learning about Recovery stuff .. maybe ..

    SueW, I've spoken to a friend who has a b&b near the off road course & she'll do a twin room for £60 (£30 each) per night including cooked breakfast. They also have a double room.

    Learning about Recovery stuff .. maybe ..

    Well, there's two campsites. The nearest has seasonal restrictions on it (thanks National Park) & they may be closed in November. The other has static vans on it as well as tents but no b&b's within viewing distance. Lots of b&b's in the village but not cheap. Having seen the potential dates I...

    Learning about Recovery stuff .. maybe ..

    200 tdi lower gear lever sheared

    After recovering an old BMW & caravan that were stuck on a hill (no pictures so I've told her it didn't really happen!) my wife phoned me to tell me that the gearbox had packed up. I was 120 miles away on my way to a footie match & told her to ring our mechanic. He, as it turns out, is away...

    kayak

    The inflatable ones are quite a good idea if you just want to potter about. I've used one on the sea & it all fitted into a big rucksack so you didn't need a roofrack.

    kayak

    No. The boats might look similar but inside the cockpit will be very different. Closed cockpit kayaks have a seat & closed cockpit canoes have a saddle. Etienne & Stott in the first picture are kneeling in a closed cockpit canoe & Swetnam in the second picture is sitting in a closed cockpit...
