we know where we are honest 
the map table 
the kids decided we need to take note of what samiches they had
and what wellies they had 
very tight down this lane
very very tight
Matt enjoyed tugging me 
and spraying all over me 
results of pulling the anchor out the mud again
honest osifer the those fairies are very convincing
real fun day out today

Bloody hell you guys were lucky. I wasted half a day trekking to Southend/Shoeburyness looking do a massive green lane by the sea. Only to get there realise its a MOD base with no access to the lane and to make it worse the rain just got heavier. So I just headed back home

What's the matter with you rain is a good thing, snow is good too so man up..Bloody hell you guys were lucky.

Nah not lucky, the lanes we originally headed for were shut for the winter (had some duff advice basically) but we got the map out and found a decent alternative.. should come with us next time!
I know.. it just plodded through everything, I should sell the off-roader and build a laner..
Yeh and I had the rope ready and everything too.. damn you and your uber-capable Freelander!

you see hat I mean about them catching, they are close even without any articulation
Looks smart though bud, are you going to lift the body?

the first hole was me going easy and trying to drive where I wanted but that didn't work so I had to change my driving style to get my truck going where I wanted and find the ruts to follow that wouldn't get me in trouble but that last one I had no hope I tried getting out the rut where you did but just din't have the traction. generals are going on regardless next time

repaired it was cut and 'repaired' with drain pipe when I got given it and the elbow under the top was just 2 bits of gutter pipe cut at an angle and riveted together and it was the rivets that got pulled though the pipe so I have just redone the rivets for now and will make something a bit more complete and sturdy. maybe a proper elbow bonded on if I can get the right angle if not I'll have to cut and shut something
