I've done a very similar route, and doing it again in July with a few guys from the Lowrangers, last 2 times I did it west to east but going east to west this year, gladly send you a gpx file if you give me a email to send it to

Yep found those steps, was coming down and didn't realise where i was, hence the bent steps lol

Like to thank all the organisers that made this happen, my first time there and won't be my last :) had a great time and got to meet some members to boot, the other half thought it was great too ( that always helps lol ) now looking forward to the next one, so thanks again and only a little...

Will be packing up in morning, chainsaw is always in for trips :) First time at Lincomb is it obvious where to head when I get there ? Been looking forward to meeting folk and having a play Off-Road :)

Unfortunately I've got work on the Monday as didn't book it off and too late now :( never mind be a good weekend anyway :)

Yes see you all soon, first timer at lincomb and buzzing :) new experience, new people to meet and new tent to try out lol, bring it on :)

Liking the setup. Have pm'd you

Nothing new for me, working till Wednesday as usual, never get bank holidays off in my job :(

Well purchased a new 5m bell tent today, was on eblag with free postage but relatively local to me so went and picked it up, so haggled that he had no postage and got it for a steal ( well going by what I've seen ) £400 cash. Will be giving it the first outing at lincomb :)

Cool, thanks that's made my mind up I'm going for it :)

Yes looking at the zig ( zipped in groundsheet ) one with mozzie mesh on vents and door, easy to put up ?

Hi, just need to ask some advise on proposed purchase of tent, looking for a big'ish tent for when I'm stopping in one place for a couple of nights or more, been looking at the ' bell tents' as like the look of them and being canvas rather than nylon, i have a wood burner that could also be used...

1. Karl and holly 2. Chris and as much camping kit as I can drag with me 3. Nick plus chicken wings 4. Tim & Gabi 5.

Well mine came this morning and are now fitted and tracking done :)

I managed to bend a hd steering bar on my landrover lol, failed going up some rocks and bent the rear one coming back down, ripped a standard one in half before that ( mind you landrover ones are made of chocolate )

Ordered mine today and said only 2 lots left before i ordered mine, got a full set of track rod ends to fit so thought why not lol

All sounds good to me ;)

Had a superwinch EP16500 on the disco, beast of a winch that was slow but could single line pull anything :) did upgrade the motor to a bowmotor 1 and run it with 12mm dyneema, wanted something that had a faster no load speed this time so went for the goodwinch, used the superwinch mostly for...

The thing that swung it for me was the brake being at the end and not in the drum, using rope rather than cable that's a big plus, last winch was a superwinch and it melted the bottom layer even with shield on it, think the lower end of superwinch is also made on China these days

Haven't had to test mine under a good load, will use a snatch block alot of the time though as found it's nearly as quick as doesn't sap the batteries ànd working easier, there's always a bowmotor 2 as upgrade lol ( faster and more powerful )

Got my tds from thematic the show, with rope and hawse, isolator switch / snatch block / all wiring with cable ties and insulation tape all in the box, well pleased with it £618

Just to point out that some of that route is not motor vehicle possible ( barmouth part is a footpath across railway bridge ) but not really checked rest of route as on phone

I quite like it nice and quirky for UK at least, just has that cut and shut look about it, could of maybe changed rear tub colour ?

I'm in the dead zone 51-69 so just cruise to retirement :)

If you have the rod vertical it will arc to the side and burn the flux off so building up on that side ( thinner metal will heat up quicker so become easiest route for arc ) need to come in splitting the angle between plates and 30 deg back should give you a better result

Fitted new window rubbers today, I've now got working windows :) 24 year old rubbers had become hard plastic lol

There is some original brackets on the bar, then there's box section welded to that and then mounts welded to box section, plan is to cut box/mounts off original brackets leaving them there, see if I can weld a bolt to the box section so can be put on when needed :) well that's the plan lol

There's probably a manifold pressure sensor ( boost pressure ) that could be giving false readings, I don't know about this model but have experience with general vehicles, might be worth a look, if it was reading too much boot it would put it into limp mode, might be worth a look

Thanks Karl well pleased with it, looking like I want it to now, might cut the high lift jack mounts off as can't see me using them 'on road' with my jack fitted

Went to local Cannock Chase and got a better photo :)

Just been and had exhaust modded ( was getting ropey anyway ) remove centre and rear box and side exit, picks up so much quicker now and no loud at all so well pleased :)

They are high lift jack points ( tube adapter ' less chance of slipping' ) and you can see the high lift jack clamps on top of bar but won't be putting high lift jack on while driving on road

Use a sealant when you mount the tyres or put tubes in them, I had beadlocks and never had a problem to be honest but depends on how good the beadlocks are fitted to wheels

Michelin xlz 16.00 R20 = 53" tall wiegh 334lbs and about £1900 new ( each ) so BIG

Well seen a few cruiser's there but never met anyone lol, got my winch and bought a wood stove as well 'O' and a recovery strap, back home now having a brew :)

Yep close for me too, picking up new winch and want to talk to Craig at the buzzweld stand about some products ( might purchase some ) other than that just a day out :)

I've got a ' show you vehicle pass ' just so I can park nearer so not so far to carry the winch I'm picking up :) see some of you there ( maybe if I can recognise anyone lol )

I'll be in my Lowrangers hoody :)

Noticed on mine that going from at's to muds of the same size knocked a couple of mpg off, being a higher rolling resistance

Probably see some of you there, trouble is I won't know who you are being a newbie lol

Good chance I'll be going now as probably picking up a winch :)

Got one on mine ( no air con ) does work in a fashion as needs a little help returning, my thoughts are to use it if driving through muddy water etc to stop blocking rad with debris

Wicked I'll get my hols booked :) ( as work weekends apart from every other Sunday )

Funny I was thinking of combining a Scotland trip as been talking with the other half about it for the last few weeks lol

Being a newbie I'm up for a meet, lincomb if it's on will be a defo for me, read all the threads and can't wait to meet some of you :)

So guessing that's over 7,000 gallons of fuel :) looking good

They do these for the 80, don't know if they will fit the 100 Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182379261740

Yes m8 :)
