well we left plymouth at 1.15 and have just got here at 6.45 pm the traffic from exeter to bristol was the worst ive ever seen, at some point it was bumper to bumper at only 20 mph, a very slow journey indeed, now we are watching the local news, which is saying that there are terential floods up here, you cant see more than 100 foot visability at the moment, hopefully it will be a lot clearer in the morning, all the vehicles made the long journey without any issues at all, we had myself in the shogun elwin in the shogun neil in the shogun nasty in the pajero yogie in the pajero simon is following on up later in the surf so roll on tomorrow in the lanes |

well guy as you can see by the time we have just got back from a 15 hour laneing day, wow, lane 1 was great and the last lane of the day was also awesome took us about 4 hours to complete, unfortunately orangepeels clutch was smelling so he decided to leave us on route with nasty at around 6 pm, but we ventured on to the last lane which has taken us all night in the dark to complete, driveing up rock faces of slate rock with rivers of water flowing down at the same time, to driveing through flooded lanes, elwin had a ripped tyre, so we all lent a hand to a speedy tyre change, just like the f1 team on the tv but with retards doing it, the car was on the piss with the ground being so un-even and the flow of water passing us by, but within 10 minutes we were on our way, to the longest lane ive ever done over 12 kilometres long, seemedlike it was never going to end, around every corner we encountered more and more stuff to get over or push through, what an end to a great day off road, got to go the mud is drying, desperately need the shower and some sleep for tomorrows lanes, lee lee tours over and out, |

just got back from day 2 in wales, we tried many lanes today, which were scattered everywhere only to find that most of the gates were locked or chained, which was a shame, then we did find a great lane which went on for ages across streams and up banks, only to find no way across the river ? we looked at every route up and down the bank, no way across, so we had to go back the way we came, which was not as easy as the drive down, we had to use waffle boards and the winch to get elwin,simon and yoggie up the steep bank, all in all it made the day, big thanks to all that came, especially john who is elwins friend, this guy was there everytime we got stuck, the first one to get his hands dirty, he was even in the water with his trainers on shifting stones, also nathan who is yoggies son, top lad always trying to help, big thanks guys,

thanks to lee again for organising this one,was a shame that most of the lanes were locked etc it does put a bummer on the trip.however we did do some cracking lanes and each lane tested the driver and theyre cars to the max.day 1 saw some intresting ones but the weather pissing down thick fog etc all played its part in making life difficult.but we did do some great lanes.myself and neil broke away from the group around 6pm as his clutch was stinking bad so we returned to the hotel wich was some 30 miles away.the others went on to do the lane wich found them busy for over 4 hrs. day 2 found lots of lanes locked and blocked wich was a shame.however the day was saved with a awsome lane wich proved a rite challenge,4 of the 6 cars needed recovering and as lee said 10/10 to john and nathan for theyre hard work and effort.took a lot to get the cars back up well done.we then called it a day and made our way home.pics/vids to follow.....
