Essex Laning - 5th June 2011 Write up

[Marius De Kock]

We have to say a big thanks to Adz and every one for organising a great day’s laning in Essex - you are all die hard laners. I also want the thank Caron my wife for take excellent photos on the day, here are some of the best photos of the day and I hope you like them.

The leader of the pack...!

It's good to talk!

Big smiles before the days laning.

You put your left foot in, you put your right foot in and shake it all about, then you do the Hokey-Pokey and you turn around.... that's what it's all about..!

Ryan's 80 looking great.

Bringing up the rear - Michael was our rear gunner for the day. What a nice guy. Hope to see you here in the Surrey lane soon.

Crazy frog - Ring ding ding di di ding bing bong ba ba bom bom... in mud..!

Jeep - stuck in the mud

I think there is a bit of a hole here..!

Nice rear view, you can tell the foreman(s) from the workers..!

Finger lickin good.

I will get my jeep through this even if I have to use my hands.

That failed - need to be recovered.

Mud slide.

Wheely muddy

Urrgghhhh - I have got my hands dirty, were's the industrial size wet wipes..!

Contemplating life - stuck inthe mud.

Landcruiser 80 coming to the rescue pulling out a Landrover.

Who needs a Karcher..!

The water just missed me..!

Sundance going for a swim.

This left my wife and camera dripping wet

That's a great write-up Marius, some of the best pictures I've ever seen, congratulations to your wife, and with witty captions too.
How did the Disco get stuck there? the mud looked fairly dry and solid, but then that's a LR for you and was that a snorkel coming out of the roof on Crazy Frog, I've never seen one coming out of the roof the roof before

Hi Cossack.

The photo of the Disco recovery is at the end of the lane. The Disco was on it's diff with all wheels hanging in the air.
Indeed you are correct the snorkel runs inside the cab and exits the roof.

So what's the score with the Jeep sporting a roof mounted exhaust system halfway through the day?

The Jeep lost its exhaust on the first difficult lane with deep ruts.
