at this point we were joined by leonberger, and attempted a slightly nutty lane
thats quite a drop on the side there!
theres that drop on the left - not all that much space!
and this is where the damage started. the series got through ok, as you can see, on the nice short wheelbase and tonnes of clearance!

ere - why has he got a rabbit hutch on the back?
then it was my go, with the 110 and the side steps. longer wheelbase and less clearance - well i think we all knew how it would end before it begun
the approach - and the reason you have to go aorund!
the attempt
the damage
now max with his 90
he broke his side step
and finally leonberger with the disco
did slight damage to the left there also - only spyders series got through unscathed!

and here is where the fun begins!
the lineup post after leonbergers departure
the 110 a little muddy, and showing off the temporary tree slider
it should be said this is private farmers land, with the farmer on site with full approval - he came laong to watch for the amusement value, his is the p38 in later photo's
max attempting what the local farmers and off roaders call the 4x4 graveyard. somehow or other it was decided he should go first - through that with all terrains on - good decision that
entering
attempting
still attempting
stuck
and the 110 waiting in the wings, initially was going to go for it after the 90 cleared it - but that was wishful thinking it turned out

getting the 110 down to give him a tow - idea was to tow him out section by section
quite tight
swapped the 110 for a local mechanics awesome land rover 90 - more maneuvreable in tight spaces!
by this point spyder had got through the whole section almost totally unassisted - very impressive! note the mud.
here we are - in the graveyard!
110 and the farmers p38
and 110 and the series
and the nice sidestep!
LR 90 doing its stuff
max trying to dig himself a lifeline

preparing the 90 for the final 25 odd metres worth of towing - and the deepest, muddiest bit
all ready
taken up slack and giving it some beans
we have the first serious bit of movement for some considerable time
here he comes
and dry land - ish
impressive mud it must be said considering what it started out like
and the final photo before heading off
oh and a quick few photo's of the suspension on the LR 90
