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 :wink:

Also, did any of them get water coming in through the bottom of the doors??

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.
