Another excellent day out, with cracking weather this time.
Another well behaved bunch of people who I would have no problem leading again.
This second run just proves, that with a little care, a standard Frontera can traverse terrain that in normal circumstances you would turn away from. OK, so the belly plates rubbed a bit, but that only proves that they are doing what they were designed to do.
Well done chaps - a good day out
(right, where's the video camera lead)

The carwash went very well, even though it might have been an inch deeper than the run through a couple of weeks back.
We only had one minor problem, in that Weave's 2.4 over heated on the climb up the Wayfarer, but a few litres of water (I think it was water), solved the problem.
Other than that there were no gremlins.
It was a nice change to sit out in "The Hand"'s beer garden and enjoy the sunshine.
It looked like you too Alex had a good day, from the looks on the smiles on the faces - the kids should sleep well tonight

That water is blimmin deep!!!! Were any of the frontera's on a suspension lift or all running standard?
Also, did any of them get water coming in through the bottom of the doors??
If I like it, I lick it, if I dont I kick it.

The three Frontera crossing the river are all on standard suspension, one even on standard size road tyres. Mine (the blue one) has a 3" lift, but has done the crossing in standard trim in the past.
Yes, there was a little water ingress through the doors that might have soaked the edges of the carpet, but nothing that would'nt dry out in a day or to I expect.
