Its a common mistake so I'm told and this one was down to me trusting the word of a so called 4x4 expert! You live and learn though I guess! Next time I am ready to replace +5 shocks are definitely what I'm going to do!

Yeah we got lucky but then I always carry a spare front and rear shock, lots of bushes n bits n bobs! Pays to be prepared!

Yeah that's me as well to be honest. The deal is I make the films and my mates help me with the amazing amount of breakages I seem to get! Only this weekend a lad snapped a shock on the Pheasant Steps in Wales and his spring popped out and we were hanging over the edge of bank but the guys...

If you've watched any of my past films you might have seen the camera angle I try to get now and again where I put a camera on a mini tripod and then the guys all drive over it. Well look what special little occurrence this one captured on my weekend trip to the Pheasant Steps in Wales...

This is a short video that is the last in a series of 3 from a recent laning weekend. We had been camping in the Devils Bridge area of Wales and on the return leg, we took in the Happy Valley Lane and the Bearded Lake. Another first for me and yet again a great experience because of the...

Haha!! Yeah, I try to avoid battering up things where I can but by this stage on my trip my bumper was a bit poorly so I didn't want to risk much!

Sleeper is on the left going up!

Thanks mate. Yeah I was quite happy with the old bus. Soon have her looking ship shape again though!

New cameras for this one! Really pleased with them!

This is a short film from our second day of a laning trip in the Wales area around the Dovey and Aberystwyth. It’s close to the Devils Bridge tourist attraction and although we have done it before, I’m always amazed by how vast an area it is and how we always seem to have the place completely...

Thanks mate. Good to hear. When I was struggling to get some cash I did throw together a little video poking fun at the situation but as it reveals some embarrassing details of the incident, I held off releasing it until I got my cash. Anyway, this is something I did for a bit of fun and is...

So I’ve been really lucky with this issue. The guy responsible eventually paid me about half the cost of the damage but then First Four off-road saw this video and have very kindly offered to help me out with a new bumper. After the original one protected me so well I’d be a fool not to take...

Ah so there are some out there!!! Rubbish YouTube description!! It had obviously been driven but not all that frequently we thought!

You know what its like, the video doesn't do it justice. It was a lane that by the end I couldn't decide if I loved it or hated it and I was sweating and running on adrenaline! Single best lane I've ever done to be honest for sheer combinations of obstacles and terrain all in one place!

We did some amazing and pretty extreme laning last weekend. Lots of recovering and winching. What was most interesting for me was that the first lane was a real hidden treasure. I can only find one YouTube video showing it and it really is an absolute peach. We did this in a 3 car group with...

Interestingly a supplier of this camera in the UK has seen my review and wants to break into the off roading marketing. They have sent me a load of 10% discount codes to use against this camera. Having used it last weekend I have to say I am a convert and I've bought a couple myself. If anyone...

Got a contribution towards the damage now. Took longer than I would have liked. Certainly longer than it would have taken me if roles were reversed. Anyway, on the upside the company that make the bumper have been in contact. I guess its good PR as it protected my car from serious damage!

Yeah I used my iphone for a while but like you say, its difficult to film a day with or mount steadily. My early films were done with smartphone and the quality of the finished films is chalk and cheese. In my humble opinion

I used the winch an hour later and that seemed fine. The tow hitch on the back of the Pinz cut through and forced up the winch plate smashing the grill and grill surround but doesn't seem to have gone much further. I think its a new winch bumper and grill set oh yeah and a number plate! Bumper...

Interesting question. I felt sick at the time that's for sure. I'd like to think I'd have made it light hearted anyway. I mean it was stupid mistake but I guess you would class what we do as an extreme motor sport and this stuff happens. He said he would pay for it all but when the bill comes...
