Did that lane, just outside Machynlleth, in Feb this year. Went up it twice without boards


Image

Then came the water crossing and up the step.
I went first in the Frontera, so I didnt get any shots of that,

Then came Thunder Bird 2
Image

Then Adz had a go.
Image

Image

Image

Image

Then Pete
Image

Then a try in 2WD,
Image

that doenst work, so fit some new manual hubs
Image

Now that works
Image

End of part 3

Apoligies if I get any names wrong but the beer that came back with me seem to be disapearing quicker tonight


Part 4

Fez does the step

Trev remebers the camera does burst mode. :lol: :gr8:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Even with a wheel in tha air
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

End of part 4.

Day 2
After waking up to a frozen tent after a verry cold night.
Darren and Fugly the 90 and the rest of his team were then recovered by the AA.

Part 1

Back to do the same 2 lanes that group 1 didn't do on the first day.

Looks great, sounds great as is a v6 petrol engine, but as its based on a daihatsu f20 chassis, and although the body is lifted, the chassis / suspension isnt so doent have too much ground clearance and needed a lot of help and winching on that lane and on Happy valley. Only other one that needed a tow was a defender that lost all drive with knackered transfer box

Yes spot on Danny twas a great trip and I'm always up for a little stupidity so bring it on, just trying to sort a co-pilot as it's no use bringing the wife (lack of moral fibre) when it comes to camping .
And the sil is working or she would have jumped at the chance to get plastered in mud attaching a winch cable while 5 burley men stood and watched :D
I would prefer a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.
