That finger injury you suffered whilst repairing that old chaps tyre was horrific, did you ever get the use of your finger back?

*Note to self, bring teddy bear plasters.

Good info on your Moroc thread Ohlins

Yes..horrific for sure,but after a spell of lengthy treatment by the top specialists in France they all agreed that I would've healed better if the Teddy bear plasters were replaced by racing car plasters. All better now I must say. Glad you enjoyed the goofball behaviour of our Team of Goats.

You're most welcome.


If any of your group need ideas or advice to help keep the budget down,based on recent pricing etc,by all means just ask.

All the best

Just got my Anderson plug for the compressor saves going into the battery box. Also got a rear wheel arch water tank to fit.

That's a good idea, how easy are they to fit?

I have a light bar and a couple of spots to fit and just ordered some tie down tracking for the inside

Fairly easy - see on youtube how to make up an Anderson plug for landrover. The water tank sits underneath the rear LH wheel arch and is a bit tricky with my fitted interior so getting my ever helpful mechanic to do it.

People still on for the meet tomorrow?

Yep, my friend Matt will be coming too, he has a couple of MOTS booked in Sat morning, so we're leaving for Birminham at around 10.30.

Yep ill be there in the disco

All loaded up and leave in 5 hours, handy really, as I'm getting sick of the cold weather. Spoke to Ken earlier and he was in a dust storm somewhere unpronounceable.

Good luck and have fun. Send us some pics! Sorry we couldn't make it this year.

No worries Sarah, thanks

Good luck and enjoy the Geep

Geep, hmmmm, I read about that, I'll pass on the mystery meat game.

Wonder how its going?

Got back on Wednesday, excellent trip, TD5 110 never required anything, other than fuel and airfilters.

Got loads of pictures and Landy porn, but have been easing back in to society this week, as I'm still expecting to see begging kids wearing 1980's sportswear at the end of my street, or find some random person in the front garden just standing there looking.

The 110 has started it's clean down process now, 4 hours of washing the chassis and bodywork, and it still has a slight yellowish tinge. Interior next week........

Definitely going again.

Wish I could have gone. When you have done it once you get the bug. I still have sand in it from last year, even driven it through a river a couple of times and used a pressure washer on it.

Going over the Atlas mountains on the second day


Dust mask needed, Jihad tea towel style


On the way to Zagora




Landy porn, lots more to come


Filth


Kens second battery went flat, and was risking loosing his stock of Shipdams fish paste.




Never liked giving vehicles names, but my 110 is now called turbo snail.


Ken engaging with the local child begging community


The old Erg Chegaga


Ken was off in the Erg, somewhere in the distance


More smut


Down near the Algerian border on our way to Tata


Dried riverbed trail from Tan Tan was most excellent


Were being followed.......


Dirty


Couple or three hours later, out of the dried river bed heading towards Tafraoute


Obligatory Docker photo


Got a million more photos, even a photo of witnessing Ken actually eat something!

Excellent pics, but are you sure that's Erg Chebbi? (East of Merzouga) Looks a lot like Erg Chegaga to me (South West of M'hamid)

That's the one mate, the names were mostly forgettable or unpronounceable for me.
