Absoblumenlutely bloody fantastic!

Come back a day early due to the Bank holiday and work so most of the possie
are still there.

Bill is providing entertainment in his usual manner ;-) (and reports as we
left the site were he was at it again!)  .... we've done some lane clearance
and debated the use of the particular lane with the local Nimby as we really
upset the applecart by clearing t fallen [1] tree. My wadders and saw from
lidl came in very handy. Mark snapped Niges chopper clean in half too after
Nige told Mark to hit it like a man....lol! (You had to be there!)

We did three fords which according to Si were half a wheel depth..... we
quickly established they were half way up the door which proved too much
temptation for such intreped adventures, fueled by peer pressure and
testosterone.

Bill decided that the V8 was getting a little thirsty and came to a
controlled halt in the middle of a ford (really?) and procedded to test the
water resistance of the seats.... inverter.... walkie talkies and maps. Mark
quickly came to the resuce whislt Si stood up to his waist in the stream ,
Mark reversed in and Si spent a good couple of minutes trying to attach a
rope to an nonexistant under water towball....funny as hell! All the cars
safely on dry land and Bill turned the Disco in to a jet wash to ensure all
silt remained in the stream and not on the road..... when I stop grinning so
much I'll upload some piccys.

Yeah that was great! My disco has collected some nice scratches (ouch)
and a bit of the rear bumper is hanging loosely.

Im just uploading my pics now.

What a superb weekend. Best camping trip of my life.

Lee, you missed a cracker at the Off Road site on Sunday.....

Simon I went through a bombhole, full of muddy silt, and just made it
though. Bill followed in the V8, but just couldnt manage to get over the
crest... Reversed back hard to get a good run. The engine died, and a
massive hissssssss was heard.. Terminal? We all thought so for a bit..

The water was well over the rear step, so we volunteered Bills lad to
wade in and try and attach a rope to the tow bar - But it wasnt there.
The silt was so - silty? that it had solidified and could take
Christopher's weight so it only looked a few inches deep!

Tried to pull it from the front, and both mine and Paulxxx's disco would
not shift it an inch. Sommat aint right here we all thought..

Turned out that during the reverse back, the rear backbox had filled to
the top of mud and was solid. The hiss was from the gasses in the
exhaust seeping out from the joins.

After about an hour and a half, we got it back to the top had a brew,
bent the exhaust back into shape and modified the rear hanger a bit with
a big bar.

The V8 still had the last laugh though. After it was up to the bonnet in
water, and stuck fast in a mud hole, the gearbox oil cooler decided to
start leaking... Which we tried to fix using hose from Nige's caravan -
But it beat us in the end... I left just as the AA man arrived on Monday
morning.

The weekend was absolutly superb. Big thanks to Si for sorting it out,
and to everyone else that was there for making it memorable.

Bec has taken loads of pics, which are uploading now - But there is one
that I think summs up the weekend perfectly.

Cracking pictures there!

Nige should be rolling again now.. probably on a low loader, got a text from
him. He's doing an impression of a gypo on the A1 with a broken water pump
pulley. Claimed a few victims this one though nowt serious thus far.

Sounds smashing, shame 'herself' decided to damage bones an all, we'd
probably have made it.  You need to expect a few mechanical casualties
on an event like this, tis a right of passage.

What's the story with the NIMBY - and why on earth didn't anyone have
a chainsaw to clear a jungle ;-)

The Jury is still out on wether or not the tree blocking the lane had been
"helped" down.

The quotes from the Nimby such as "You can't drive this lane it's going to
be reclassified" key word being "going" and from I suspect her equally vile
daughter / banjo playing ignoramus , <Insert plums> "Do the estate know what
you are doing" and "You have no right to remove that tree" were met by a
polite factual response from those a little more educated on the matter. For
some odd reason all these years of study came flooding back.... years of
study of 'tinternet that is in reference lanes and abatement.

Oh how we chuckled as the silly bint walked in to a branch as she insisted
in walking through the fallen tree. I hate seeing anyone suffer but this
eliquent young lady would test the patients of a saint.

The fact that we watched two horse riders risk life and limb to get through
the very deep mud to get around the tree (note not on the lane) and risk
having a horse put down or personal injury seemed to be of no consequence to
the Nimby's.

I did think at one point I might have to get the pioneers shovel out once
Nige was in to the swing of the conversation.;-)

I had a chain saw but forgot my safety sandals ;-) so deployed my mighty
chopper which was safe for use when wearing waders. Mrs_D assures me it's
not the size that counts it's what you do with it. :-) I'd learn't from one
of my trips with the 101 as Tom bears witness that it pays to have a chopper
handy while out laning incase you should come across such an obstruction. I
didn't expect future obstructions to be quite so big mind but between us all
we got there by tugging un unison :-)

On a nearby overgrown UCR (and I have checked at the records office)
we were accosted by a local horse rider who regarded the presence of
three 4x4s on the less overgrown half of the lane as some kind of
personal tradgedy and started harping on about hordes of 4x4s
descending on the lane and destroying it.

Funnily enough the reason we were there was to see if we could undo
the damage done by horses trudging through the bad drainage spots on
the lane, which make it so hard to walk you have to take a large stick
to lever yourself out of thick shin-covering mud.  Forget taking a
bike.  Considering that, and the road hazard the local horse riders
create, it's a bit rich that they try to take the moral high ground.

There's a similar tree down recently on a lane I do almost twice a
week, I was going to tackle it but was running late, once home I
noticed my tree-moving gear leaning up against the fence where I'd
been using it to shift trees in my garden..  Must remember to stow it
in the proper place!

Which is the correct answer, f.cking bogtrotting bitch. I was 2 seconds
away from doing just that, but thought better of it. Should have kicked
her in the c.nt instead. f.cking pervert husband taking photos, i just
wanted to bite his f.cking head off.

angon, you had minors with you, n'est-ce pas (practicing for Froggy

You should have demanded his name and address pursuant to child protection
legislation as he was taking pictures of children...

Ecceedingly silly. There's no legal requirement for anything of the
sort. Who made the rule up?

GNAS, the governing body.  They're much bothered about child protection,
probably following government guidelines, and doing the full arse-covering
exercise.

The child protection thing is, as usual, blown up out of all proportion.  I
approve of some of it, for example not having children alone with only 1
adult, which is as much for the adult's protection as for the children.  But
some of it's bloody silly.

There are no governement guidelines on photographing minoirs taking
part in bona fide events. Obviously this doesn't stop some sporting
NGBs from making up such absurd rules ;(

yeah.  However, they're not alone in this trait by any means.  I suspect
that any NGB or other NGO with children involved that fails to make such
rules will be pilloried in the gutter press for failing to care for the
children, so they tend to go OTT, then they can point to this and act all
self-righteous and say "well WE have exceeded the government guidelines in
these IMPORTANT ways".

's all a load of crap, TBH - the only things I do agree with are the
guidelines on one-on-one coaching and the like (don't...) and on number of
adults, and I agree with that 'cos it offers me some chance of protection of
someone comes up with a fatuous claim about me, or at least another witness
to call, and furthermore, if I comply with the NGB guidelines, I can maybe
call their people in to defend me - it's a sure bet that if I DON'T comply,
then they'll happily let me hang.

:-) we cut the tree up for anyone who may be confused, not the Nimby. The
Nimby lived to moan another day though there is a counterstike planned for
the rather biased member of the Parish council once we have the necessary

were going about our own lawful business and certainly weren't about to be

Any chance of telling us which lane the tree was blocking (map ref or
lane number and position)? We've got a Norfolk 4x4 Forum meeting with
Norfolk County Council coming up and we 'push' blocked lanes very hard
... whether it was deliberate or not we can keep an eye on the track to
make sure it doesn't recur.

A most excellent weekend.  We've been home a while now, but un-loaded,
then needed to get stuff sorted, then fed and watered ... then fell asleep!

Gotta say a big thanks to Simon for arranging it.

Cracking days laneing, Bill was really up for it and good value for
money.  ;)  Brilliant little 'play' area, very technical, nicely muddy
and again Bill got in the action straight away.  ;)

Nice to put faces to names and will most definitely be up for more meets.

Stayed at Diglea camping/caravan site in Snettisham.  Green-laning was
part of the Peddars Way and the Play Day was in a wood that Peterborough
4x4 club rent out.  Top marks to Simon for sorting it all out.  ;)

Indeed and not forgetting Dawn who I recall had a hand in the organisation
too from earlier posts. Belting effort!

Indeed.

And for the burgers in the woods on Sunday.

Has anyone heard back from Nige at all?

Sounds like the pully/impellor has sheard of the water pump? Overtight?

Hope they all get back ok.

He has decided not to usenet for a while due to some reasons which
