That is one heck of a ford.

I noticed at the end you positioned your car so as to turn round and go again :lol:

Oh, and you seem to have sorted a camera mount out ok.

it's a good one alright! and on the route for tomorrow!!

I pulled up there, switched back from 4wd to 2wd and waited as a Range Rover had pulled up behind me on the 2nd stop when I checked the Depth at the Ford Entrance. I thought he was coming through so I'd grabbed the Cam to get him on the Ford Exit! But he had parked up and the Driver and his Kids were on the Island in the middle!

I've stuck some Velcro above the Radio and thankfully it holds in most situations!

On the Fording Run I took Trugga, Apache-Andy and HL3 on
I stated that the Depth Marker at the Start of The Ford was 1Foot Deep at the Floor..

I do apologise but I was incorrect on this....Have a Close Look!!!!!!

Trugga even said Himself that he Hadn't done Deep Water and as you can see from the Exit Video it was running at 2.5ft deep and I think He Enjoyed it! lol

There's only a couple of Fords where you need to stand in the River itself to get some footage and Great Alne's one of them!
Regretfully I couldn't persuade the Mrs to stand in the River as She'd just had her Eyes operated on! lol

There's such an easy response there about needing her eyes to be operated on after landing such an ugly mutt like you, but I won't!

ooh crickey that means it was about 2 foot 8 when I looked on monday

You brave boy steve. You must of kept well right to avoid the dip then. Did you go on the island, wonder if the stash of porno mags is still there. Got a pic of my dodgey mates on the island at night messing around with a £600 night vision scope.
