It's quite long, some varied, interesting machinery, even the tow
machine next to the long water pit at the end is interesting. You
occasionally see a big red unimog in the background blundering into
trees and knocking them down like some kind of metal hippo, plus a
black short wheelbase mog on tractor tyres that looks pretty capable.
Lots of specials on portal axles and fat tyres. It's also surprising
how eminently stoppable a short wheelbase special is compared to a
longer wheelbase. The Volvo C3xx is groovy.

quite standard-looking 110 being remarkably capable. The red unimog seems
to have a HIAB or similar, which might be handy for self-recovery, but looks
to me like someone's out playing in the works truck :)

Didn't even have cross-axle diff-locks, despite which the mog got
stuck where the 110 sailed through ;-) Then again the mog is damned
heavy so not that surprising.

I quite liked the pick-up that seemed to have some kind of
articulation on the load bed, it was one of the more capable machines
there. The load bed seemed to move with the rear wheels independently
of the rest of the vehicle.

Some nice kit there at any rate! Pity about the custom rangie failing
to get up that hill where other similar kit managed.
