Woooo. Good fun, not so many pictures as it was really wet. Few people got stuck but we had quite a few people turn up. Was nice to meet Tiddles (John & Glenith) & Shaun & His dad. Along with meeting up with Luke and his friend Steve. We just got back. Real tired so we'll sort piccies out tomorrow. Just wanna say thanks very much. Was fantastic, really enjoyed it! I think Adrian got on real well too. Round of applause on his first time :D Lol

Lets get some piccies & Comments posted on here :D

Thanks to everybody for a fantastic day out! It was a long day and some of the best lanes I have been to.

Will post some pics tomorrow. Didnt get many as it was pouring with rain most of the time.

Thanks again, Luke.

These lanes were new to all of us, the Devils Punch Bowl is a gorgeous place and all the lanes were very good. There are so many we did not get round to doing so will definatly be heading back there soon.

Amazing day :dance:

Nothing on the IOW prepared me for that, some lanes where almost imposable to walk down and we took cars down them :o

Got my fist proper battle scars buy denting both rear quarters on that last lane :lol: 4x4 enthusiasts must be the only people who feel joy when they dent there cars :oh yer:

Want to say thanks to the Shogun boys for there advice and encouragement and hope they can come again (with a Frontera :dance: ). My mate Glenneth really enjoyed the day to but spend most of the time hugging the 2 teddy's I keep on my front seat :lol:

I was surprised how well the LWB handled the dips and ruts and may even venture to say that the extra few feed was an advantage when it comes to laneing.

Most importantly thanks to Luke you got a sudden promotion from 1st officer to Captain when Paul did not turn up. He did an amazing job of it :D FOG can be proud of this little South East group as there was good hummer, team work and equal support to and from novice and experienced FOG ers alike :dance:

Hope to do it again soon.

Tiddles.
What happens, happens. What doesn't happen is not meant to :)

A much in love and very happy kitty :dance:

The Suzuki was a bit further down the hill, he was stuck as for some reason he only had drive to the rear wheels.

So what happened to Gibbos exhaust?

On one of the drops he caught the middle box, and ripped the bolts out of the joint between the cat and middle section.
Its Mrs Gibbos brother btw, who came with you in the back of Gibbo's car.
