we all met up at Mcdonalds at Marsh mills on what was to be a very wet n windy Sunday, after a quick introduction we headed out to play. this time i took the chain saw just as well it got used a couple of times during the day with a couple of downed trees to deal with. as before we headed out through Yealmpton heading for Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and totnes. nothing over technical to deal with but enough to start with for a couple of novices getting to grips with what their trucks can do with road tryes A problem with Johns wipers made for a few laughs but thatnks to Manicmechanic's (Lee's) quick thinking and skills it was sorted and John was able to carry on all day stopping only once when the tie wraps slipped off, another tie wrap secured it good n proper. Lee's little vit with muds on walked the whole day as expected. now Ben in the really nice 3.5 was even more determined than me to start with not to mark the paint work but as the day progressed so did his confidence as he got to grips with the width of the truck in the narrow lanes.. but come the end of the day i think we got it a bit high, to high for his well worn M@s tyres as he misjudge a tight bend and the speed and almost hit a hedge head on... some how no damage was done so all was good still.a couple more lanes had us dropping down into Totnes and heading for home after doing about 35 lanes. hope you all enjoyed the day? sorry i had to shoot off on the way home was running really late JR's Tea was burning and i was already later than i had told the ex mrs i was going to be late by. pics to follopw asap |

Thanks Mike for a realy Great L-o-n-g day was well worth it. Green laning in warn m+s made it very intresting for me I must say, however most of the time it drove well, one steep place i had problems just driving up, but locking centre and a lil light foot she pulled up, going down threw the very mudy lanes down hill i basickly was along for the ride looking out me window thiking "WALL, WALL , WALL" :lol: could not steer at all.. rite at the end when I was following mike and matching his moves, nearly ended up with me face planted into the hedge i must have stopped with mm to spare, i quickly reversed back and went round the corner, with Lee on the cb going " c'mon ben what ya doin" I thought I got away with it, but then Mike stopped on rout got out and anounced it :lol: I have not looked at me truck yet, prob wont be til tomoz but im sure its fine and i'd do it all again.. Mike and Lee were cracking people, and we all had a great 9 hours together,, wld love to do it again,, next time ill have apropite tyres on,, just gota find some one who can get me some less than 100 each now :lol: thanks again here are my pics, not great but theyre pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

so all was good still.


































i did find the lanes a bit of a breeze in the vitara but towards the end i decided to make it a tad more exiting and run 2wd all the time but being a vitara she pulled throe the lanes as if she were in 4wd.
