Probably be protected at 10 amps, with a 16 amp BS4343 type plug.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Ian

Think about going via the Hook of Holland - Harwich Ferry mate. I used to use it a lot when coming back on leave. Advantage being you used to get a cabin (I assume they still do them) and good sleep on the boat while it comes over, better on a night crossing.

Not a big convoy ... just a small one...OR i may get "authorization" to drive something like this...


http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nuvAJgLaDjI/T ... hoto+2.JPG

With the above "toy" i can transport both JEOH and my Frontera on trailer in one shot ...... :))

Also i can try some offroad with truck itself...For 1 Snickers (double) chocolate bar you guys can make some offroad too with the truck..... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Also the truck fuel consumption may be like 2x 2.0l Frontera mixed together .... hahaha

I am hoping to attend this year but I cannot confirm until nearer the date due to work commitments.
I was also wondering what the plan is for the laning side of things. Is there lots of different routes planned for more capable trucks and to cut down on traffic on the lanes them selves?
I think the laning idea is a much better anuual meet event compared to pay and play :D
