But did you go UP and around the buildings? (the hard way)
Or the easy way DOWN around it? (easy way)

Did you meet any smurfs at all?

It does look a lot drier than when myself and Jim went along I take it the Landy attempted the deep puddle?
What have I told you about Thinking Erroll??

it wasn't that bad actually .....theres a bit of a step on the drivers side (well ...bit being about 2 foot) which makes it feel quite nerve wrecking ....
but once thats over ..it's very easy ..just go real slow and use the frontys own hill descent system (low box 1st gear) :D

John ....no one talked me into going down ...i just kind-of decided to do it after seeing a suki roll on it

You have to look out for them you know.
They hide under the tree roots, but their big noses and pointy hats give them away.
Papa Smurfs the biggest and finds it hard to hide in the trees during winter, so he goes down the mineshaft...... :lol: :lol: :lol:
