V Gully Pheasant Steps and more

[Drift]

Well we had an impromptu laning rip today.

Tim Bumptj and myself went out with a few CRAG members and had a rather great day.

First Lane was V Gully bottom clenching.

We never got any pics as its to tight to get out the car
These are pinched pics not from today, but it is V gully and you get idea





Only drama there was my starter motor has packed in and I forgot and turned off the engine had to be tow started in V Gully

Then a few more lanes led us to another scary lane The Pheasant Steps.
And yes I made a balls off it , had to provide the entertainment didn't I
I went to far right and nearly rolled down a hill into a strean as the tree didnt look strong enough to stop me
The angle is not at all clear in the pics.


A very proud moment


Now Tims Bottom clenching decent





We gotta thank Dave R for the spotting

We had a look at the Corwen car was but deemed far to deep, plus it had barbed wire acoss the entrance and exit, seems a tree washed down ripped the wire out and that where it ended up.





We did a few more lanes before home time


And a few random pics




When the other guys post there pics Ill nick them and post them

[BUMPTJ]

I wouldnt say I was stuck, so to speak, just in a very precarious situation

i will have to join you on one of these soon, just need some tyres

[Red Oktober]

Tim ......

You got some good flex going on there mate

[Drift]

I think a lift is a good idea on the lanes we did today

Also before home time we did Conquering Hero, thats a lane I have always meant to do and now thats ticked off as well.
It will be getting done again its a fantastic lane

[Red Oktober]

did you have any other "hairy" moments ...banging from underneath or anything

[Drift]

On the last lane the ruts where very deep, but other than that it was fine.

But Without the lift it would have been banging away also some fair sized rocks to contend with.

[lee thompson]

the land cruiser has some serious articulation surely not standard?

[lee thompson]

how did they put the disco back on its feet?

[Drift]

They used brute force I think, its an old pic from CRAG as we didnt get any, it was to tight to get out the car, plus you have to get through fast incase another group are coming from the other way

[lee thompson]

i bet!
