I must admit - i took the war office and offspring to a meeting the 1st time just in case it turned into a 'LRO' meeting "oh - you dont have a WARN 12000 winch with remote winch that costs 5 grand" or a "thats not up to it" day and we could bugger off and do something else.
pic of my daughter on the 1st day... think it was november - really not enjoying herself.. much..
and that was on standard AT tyres (now on Phils - Bushwacker's), no lift, nothing.. in a 15 year old car.. just a car off ebay and no expectations (but a escape plan in place just in case
) I got stuck.. lots - but the fun is getting out - the car was undamaged and I drove home - 70 miles.. its not a balls out day with extreme madness.. a full 4 off the floor up to the top of the windscreen in mud day out.. its a day out with like minded saddo's (like me 
)who have frontera's... Greg blew the Rad on his up, Tom brought a spare for me (mines breaking down a bit) and it ended up in his. during the BBQ.. mapracing - came down without his car the 1st time last time.. this time back with car.. Houndog turned up on his own in the afternoon on the last one.. and brought the family for the day... (and mad dog!)
They are a great bunch. the rules do say that there is no offroading.. its just a picnic.. which it is.. But IF - thats a bigIF you do decide to go for a sneaky look round the woods.. you can! but dont let anyone catch you...
Tazman, Tom, (sorry - cant remember the names of the others - especially the nice blue one with the nice tailgate - sorry) stayed in the car park - cars are too nice to go and get scratched with the paint jobs etc - picnic area and had a natter - Tazman and his boys popped out with me in the afternoon as his is too nice to offroad (taz - good luck with the tinting etc
and sorry for popping a branch into nipper) - was funny though 
we were fine inside - didnt feel a thing 
) Come along to the next one.. and that goes to anyone.. dont be scared.. If you want to be - Greg will take you for a "brain in glovebox" in Lil white leafer
think Ive summed the day up?
John...
Took a 3 car tow and a bit of assistance from the leafer to get extracted... proper mission...then down krushers revenge with no engine was different!
)and bringing the rad...
wish some one would have poked me with a stick & let me know!!!!!....so next time....POKE ME WITH A STCK & I'll get my ass there
