[Krusher]

Anymore pickies from anyone else??

[Retro Pedro]

I've just edited my bit with a few captions.

[Krusher]

Heres a couple more from me.......

Gregster freeing himself after a bit side slip, straight into a tree....



Jim and the BBB emerging from the ground like a bat out of hell



Anybody got any ideas how this happened, had us all stumped (parden the pun)



Gregster doing the rabbit warren run, where I got myself stuck..



Probably the best BBQ in the world........Probably!!

Anymore pickies from anyone else??

20min of HQ video comming soon.........
Keep watching - It will be here tonight.
Low quality from around 11pm. HQ should be available from midnight (if you can stay awake that long)

Highlights include Retro Pedro's nose dive into the hole. 15mph to dead stop in 0.0001sec , Gregster getting STUCK , and some 'in-car, drivers view' of some parts of the site which I hope will give those thinking of comming either for a Sunday meet, or one of next years weekends a good idea of the inclines on the site and some of the obsticles we have developed or made

Re. krushers extra pics....

I should have cut that tree out by my right foot...it would have been much easier then, than trying to fell it when it was under Jims car!...would have meant Jim's extraction would have been a bit easier but then his sill would have far less character than it has now!

Watch this space re. the FOG-B-Q.....its gonna get some "mods" before the next one!

[gregster]

Hurry up badboy...sally wants to laugh at me getting stuck!!

[BadBoy]

The long awaited vids arrive .
Please note that if your viewing these on Monday 26th Oct, as they are still being processed some may still not be available

Big, big thank you to Greg & Sal for arranging the day, and to eveyone who attended and made it such a great day.
Sadly my day ended with another broken front diff which has ended my off roading until early next year .
I hope to be able to make the December meet, but I'll only be there with my camera, so if you see some poor guy thumbing a lift around the site, please be kind and pick me up

Hope you enjoyed the vids, and for those who haven't been here yet, I hope they have inspired you to make the journey down here to join us in the near future.

[gregster]

Quality vids matey....in the last one where you go up Krushers revenge, right at the very end, is that the sound of the diff busting I can hear??

The in car one really shows what its like well...maybe we should do a circuit of some of the main trails on vid next time???

I will pilot if you like, with me special tyres on this time...you can put my brain in the glovebox and hold the camera!!!

Well done matey getting the vids up...they take you ages to get on the webbyfing I know....commendable effort old chap!

John,you need to edit the preferences in photobucket to automatically resize to 640x480,which is nearest to the forum maximum of 650x650.
When that is done can you please change the pictures to the smaller size cheers bud

[fogman]

awesome pictures & vids guys really looked an excellent day out,but i must say i was just as interested in the contents of the bbq as i was the the offroading

are the picnics open to any foggers or just the local ones ? im thinking that if i ever get my hands on a cheap swb id like to get down there sometime next year !
has anyone camped out in the woods ? or is that not an option ?

[jammywagonwheel]

Hi A friend - Gregster,
Can you delete the previous pic posts from me, I'm resizing the pics now - Sorry! They should be on here by 4pm today fingers crossed

John

[jammywagonwheel]

Right, 3rd attempt - pics all resized.... sorry about the date stamps, 'someone' was playing with the camera in the back of the car....

Great day out!

[gregster]

Cool pickies and vids mate....deleted the previous posts as requested

Must remember to check I am in 4wd when offroading! too much junk on the dash, so I didnt see the lack of orange light!

Now you have got the art of posting pickies and vids sussed, we want pics of things you are modding on ya fronty!!

See you soon...glad you enjoyed
