West Wales Laneing Weekend 2012

Do we have a post code for said site mate? wana see how far i gota travel this time!! :shock:

Could be one of 3 sites mate but if you put Machynlleth in your satnav you wont be far out mileage wise :wink:

Bet it just shows me a picture of the fecking moon! :lol:

yes me and the misses (TATZ) are deffo up for this,it would be rude not to as it's only 30 miles from her house :dance:

Hey Colley,

Please can you add the lightweight to the reserve list?

Cheers

SD

Steve no need to add him to the reserve list :wink:

If he can make it, and your happy to have 6 in your group then he can just turn up :wink:

Just an observation Ste, but although it's not the law, 6 in a group can be seen as a tad agressive to the old bobblehat brigade and dont really follow the GLASS code. Just my opinion as they are always gagging for excuses to blame us for wrecking the countryside, global warming, inflation, troubles in the middle east etc...

I can see what your saying Ian but I personally don't think 6 is to many. I wouldn't run anymore than 6 though :wink:

The way I see things is bobble hats are going to have a go if there is 2 trucks or 10. The reason off roaders get a bad name is not about the amount of trucks on the lane but the nob heads who go off peace and cut the surrounding areas up, and go on to private land. Some people retaliate if farmers or bobble hats challenge them about being on a lane etc.... Which does not help things either.

Plus its a landy lightweight, so it prob wont make the distance to wales, and if it did they are only wee little things and people seem to have respect for the vintage

As per usewell can I go on the reserve list?? not even sure if i'll have a truck come aug let along the money....let along a free space on the trip

Just a thought RE the camping, if we havent got anythiong booked as yet, I remember on the last mad march weekend there was a group of landrovers wild camping within a couple of derelict barns/farm buildings which looked like a cool thing to do. What would peoples opinions be on doing that for one night and then a proper campsite for the other night? - Just realised perhaps not such a good idea for the caravaners. I think the caravaners should grow a pair and man up and take a tent

(oh yeah thanks for the lend of the fan heater last time dave :oops:

)

Dan i have added you to the reserve list :thumbup:

Steve there is no chance of Si giving up his caravan for a cold tent :lol:

He enjoys taking the pissss to much when the campers are freezing the Nuts off :lol:

, but il come across them later :thumbup:

Really looking forward to this. :thumbup:

Just a few jobs left to do on the lwb, fix the head gasket being the biggest one. :thumbdown:

2" lift fitted and the 265 75 16s fitted, the rough country shox also soft bull bar and spots all fitted shame the gasket let go 350 miles after I spent the money on the other bits and bobs.

Is there likely to be much deep water ? I don't intend fitting a snorkel to this truck but may modify the airbox a little and add a length of ducting to move the air intake to the rear of the engine bay but this needs to be removable so as not to impact on the fuel consumption and performance for the longer journeys.
