Re: Anyone for camping? Updates in first post.

 Ok I can take a hint.

 Plymouth in September. Tourists have gone home and the weather is still good. But no half term so might be better in October.

  Post your preferences.

  Also Camp at local pay n Play....very Basic but handy to let off steam before hitting the lanes or a campsite in the middle of the moor ?

  All providing it dosn't clash with Morocco!

Re: Anyone for camping? Updates in first post.

The last track was fun. Richard lead the way in his Tojo and Howard, Stu and Em and I followed. It wasa tight track running alongside a stone wall with plenty of frozen snow and slush. There was a big drop off a flat rock probably about 18" which we had to negotiate slowly. All the vehicles managed it ok. About an hour in total and then we all split

Re: Anyone for camping? Updates in first post.

Yes thanks.
It was the support bushes underneath that failed. Because of the early style top mounts the rad bounced around and the fan broke.
 Anyway soldered it up and ironicaly the engine runs cooler with the rad having been flushed now than before even without the fan.

Re: Anyone for camping? Updates in first post.

brilliant video !

looking at the lanes i guess bill moss would have done it in a mk1 fiesta , what a waste of fuel i hear him say.....

you guys should have found some steep inclines and got the green van man stuck on his belly !

maybe next time.

Oh I think there were a couple of  tight spots that were enough of a challenge for Marks wonder machine on what was supposed to be a gentle day out.
I'll find a few scarier pics
