Well that was fantastic. What a great day, would have been better with some Cruiserbuddies though. The site is clearly in two halves. Taking J66p's advice and following my own intuition, I didn't go anywhere near the slag heap side. It looks as though it could cause some serious erosion to your dangly bits. But the other side is mud. Pure unadulterated thick, deep mud. A veritable sea of it. River runs, bomb holes, wooded sections.
Rescued the first chap before I left the car park. His bottom pulley had come off the crank. Second chap set off in front of me, I rescued him out a rut within 50 yards. This chap was in a ravine with a snapped cam belt.
By lunch time the site was quiet. They were all down at the bottom of the site, stuck in the woods! There was the whole range of vehicles really from shinies with tyres to custom bog monsters. Behaviour was, I'd say as good as I have seen for a whole. No Mad Max stuff at all. All very courteous. (Yorkshire folk tha see). There were some dumb things going on as usual though. One bloke had his steel cable around a tree trying to pull someone out. Duh, snatch block? Typically lots of short 90s with no winches, no lockers and no going anywhere.
Two chaps turned up in an X Trail with ATs on, looking keen. I talked them out of it. They would have been stuck in ten seconds and would have lost so much bodywork. I took them for a trip around in mine. They were impressed, hey I was impressed. I didn't get stuck once all day, although I was selective about what I tackled as I had no desire to be calling the big yellow truck, but I still managed to damage a mud flap and redesign my Gavplate on the T box. Hmm, might need to jack that square. Those narrow tyres are really incredible. I love them. I'd love to see LB on 255s in that lot.
Never actually managed to get water to go over the sunroof before now. Bit like driving a U boat. There must have been a bit of a dug out where people had been trying to climb up out of one section. Caught me by surprise. Would love to have seen it from outside. Certainly attracted some attention. They said that they'd not seen an 80 on there before and a lot of people pointed at it (is that a good thing). They certainly didn't mind being rescued that's for sure.
Truck no longer white when I'd finished, but they had jet washers there for an initial blast. Gave it an hour too when I got home.
There are no pics I'm afraid as I simply couldn't let go of the wheel most of the time. But its Holymoorside next week I hope so there maybe some from there. Karl, I'll let you know.
