Not to mention wagtail was the engines maiden voyage, as was the 400 mile round trip my KJA did for Billing this year.

haha yes there was that,

"Engine in, does it start? yes? TO WAGTAAIIIIL"

Was thinking maybe we could head out for some laning on the Sunday while you are down Tim? And anyone else that wants to join, we're coming back from wales on the Saturday. Might depend if we are alive though, gonna hopefully climb snowdon and tryfan while we are there as well as going to zipworld

Last time I climbed snowdon I came back via the crib, didn't do much for my undies!!

despite 2 emails from 2 different email address still no responce?
i hope the show is better organised!

finally got a reply, you can show a vehicle as long as it is insured, you pay the entry fee and get there before 9.30am.
I am hoping to get mine in the show on the sunday

I'm in wales with Scottie and will probably be in a rather poor state on the Sunday. Never say never though.

wow, that snowdon peak looks amazing. I love that kind of stuff. I must visit that one day! hoe much of a track is it to get there?

Quite a walk. Its most of a day to go up and down in with a few rest breaks.

well i took the plunge and I went to the Bristol & west 4x4 show at the bath & west show ground last weekend.
not too bad but there were not many other than land rover makes there.
apart from a few specials and the frontera owners club, not many other makes except my lone Suzuki vitara.

this is the mud spattered shot after I gave the off road course a go.
as I have only had the truck on the road for about 3 weeks I did not even know if the 4wd system worked or even low range, but after a quick check on the start track all seemed ok and I went on the permanent off road course at the showground, quite surprising how well it coped with it all, I was following a lwb shogun which got stuck on one of the harder bits so had to take the easier route to bypass him at one point.

apart from the deep water I could have done all of the harder red route and in fact we were allowed to do some of the red route by some marshalls.
all in all a great day out, very hot in the open, the winch challenges were quite good to watch and the static displays were ok especially if you like land rovers.
I picked up some more tools, a high lift jack attachment, and a few other odds and ends.
so I think I will be going again next year.
next trip is to the dundry off road site to see where it can really go

I went to this, for what it cost, I wasn't too impressed. Only saw L*** R***** and Fontera's and that was about it! Shame that there wasn't any Suzuki's to be seen, on the Saturday...

Next year eh guys?
