Its free just tell the farmer and he will keep an eye that your mota doesn't move.

Lamriska, I WISH spyderman filmed me crossing the river I nose dived off a hidden cliff. Also recovered Spyderman from his excursion into 4 ft of bog nose first. All fun tho can't risk getting the mota dirty till Derbyshire. P.s Some of the Rangie Boys will be up there too. Jai

Whaddon was a good day out me thinks.

Much getting stuck and pulling people out!

I hope everyone learnt a few lessons today. Good company and 'twas a good crack....

I suffered with a bent steering arm, and a squeeky non-charging alternator towards the end, however after a 10 mile ride home and a clean the alternator is now behaving again, (although still squeeking) and the steering arm straightened up after a bit of persuasion from a trolley jack.

I'm a little p'd off at missing out on Derbyshire, but hey we can't have it all...

I'm sure Booger will have a few pics to contribute........

I have loaded a few of the photo's that i took up onto facebook, shall upload them to some web site and link them to here.

I need to change my diff oil me thinks, went through a few more muddy holes after lunch.

Glad to hear that you have you damages fixed!

How come you are missing out on Derbyshire? I can't go as my sister in law is coming back from her first year at Uni that weekend so I have to take the Discovery to collect her and all her stuff.

I have a wedding to attend on the Friday, and I'm not sure if i want to go all that way for 1 night.

dunno if i will make it either! thats around the time of my mot and just before i set off to italy in it!

sounds like you guys had a good day, sorry i couldnt get up there to see you. i will however be at whadden either on the 14th or the 28th of june if anyone is up for it

will confirm dates as and when. i do now have a nice sexy steering guard so no more bent steering rods for me!

Would love to be at Whaddon on those dates but I believe I am at a Comp safari on the 14th and 28th will be the week after Derbyshire and a RC flying comp I think. Jai

whats comp safari? after those dates i think my appearances at whaddon will depend entirely on the purchase of my second vehicle, as from that point on we start work on kitting the 110 out

Yes I learnt that when you agree to tow a stranger out of the poo you should not assume that he won't direct to the edge of a cliff, where you too, will get stuck....

O and I also learnt that on a hot day you need to clean your radiator.... It took me 3 hours to get home... (I did meet a hot policewoman on the side of the road though)

I think PintSize may also have learnt that lesson, she is on her way home in an AA Flatbed...

Will look at the pics now and see what I got...

Oh dear!

Why did PintSize end up on a flatbed?

I also had to stop on the side of the road, just had to remove some mud from the drivers side wheel to stop the wheel wobble.

Mud in the radiator, like me

Ah! You must have got more mud in yours then mine!

Here are some of the photo's i took of the days fun!

I would just like to point out that although I got stuck within 5 minutes of starting, I was not the first to get stuck

I'm planning on going to Aldermaston on the 14th June. Anyone else fancy coming along? Not quite Whaddon or Derbyshire but looks good.

Looks like Whaddon was a lot of fun, albeit very dry. The mud hole has been flattened out by the bulldozer by the look of it, no longer a cliff face to get into it anymore.
