well what can I say apart from I am absolutely knackered
Day started really well with everyone there in good time and most had a maccy whatever for breakfast and a quick fuel up
Cracking day and thanks to those that made the day, big and I mean big thanks to Munster and his winch
Well as said above it was entertaining to say the least, most of the lanes to start with had a good covering but nothing too much, we were the first to drive most of them other than farmers in tractors
We then went on to Middlesmoor and by god I love this lane, its usually a tricky lane but never too bad, there was a massive hole that bit me, a bit of shoveling and a bit of right foot and I was through. A little further and i thought I can hear something banging underneath, a quick look and I noticed the rear shocker had sheared the top mounting off. Bit ironic this as they are an absolute b@stard to get off and I gave up when i did the lift and the shock relocation, shocks have been in garage since so now I can fit at least one of them. Well I progressed to remove the bottom mounting and put the shocker in the boot and set off on our way.
The lane then got a little deeper and kept getting deeper, then for a good few hundred yards I was back and fourth ploughing the snow out the way, eventually and after a few tugs backwards after getting beach we got in a bit of a mess. I was stuck in about 2 foot of snow, Ian was behind me in his Cherokee which by this time was beached also, we decided to drag Ian out the way with Munsters winch and get him to the side so Munster could pull me, great idea until all of us started going down the lip at the side of the track, anyways after 3 hours of winching and tugging we were on our way back the way we came
yet again North Yorkshire in the snow didnt disappoint
shame is now it looks like my memory card as thrown a wobbler, only managed to get a few photos, looks like I will be robbing few of the other guys photos for the record :thumbs:
