Diesel was way cheaper in the little vills as well - found one with a mega queue, then saw the price sign board - diesel was €1.29 / litre No wonder the queue was almost back to the previous village

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

I spent a few hundred euro less on fuel than I expected

Ooo yeah baby!!!

I didn't manage to balance out the co-pilot tan effect to the left arm - I'll have to do more driving next year Jon

 

[24Seven]

Fantastic pictures guys, sounds like you had fun

 

[Rob]

I think its time I posted some pics...

We head up into a ski resort, not used to visiting these in the summer

Big views

Nice photo, but it looks like Gav Photoshopped himself in

FOOD!

Big mountain, tiny landcruiser

Where the hell has the track gone?

Navigator was sent to look for it

Navigator could not find it so...

Driving by fog light

Driving through the clouds

Mrs Gary enjoying the views

The landcruiser stalking its prey...

Its a very very very long way down

Tricky to get a photo of JW but managed to get one in the end

Big ruts

Navigator shows off his skills

The legendary Duff beer

Navigator on duty

The Med

Jon is eager to use the blow torch on Reinhard's ARB bushes.

There is loads more but I would be duplicating what has already been posted.

 

[Chas]

Good stuff Rob, loved the 'The landcruiser stalking its prey' one

 

[Chris]

Looks like a fabulous time. But two things.

If Gav had photo-shopped himself in why didn't he give himself more hair like yours Rob?
And secondly, where did Gav sleep? Look, I'm only asking.

Chris

Seriously, photo wise, awesome pics guys. First class stuff.

 

[Dark Dude]

More great pictures! Thank you Rob. But what is really pissing me off is the fact that all these trucks (especially the two LC100) look better dirty than my truck, looking clean. How the hell does that work?

I'm green with jealousy and that takes some doing.....

Becuase no one wants a mop for a hair style and he slept behind the bush in this pic:

 

[Red Oktober]

Excellent pics guys ... that "landcruiser stalking it's prey" is fantastic

 

[Rob]

Nice articulation from a basic 50mm lift

 

[Chris]

Sorry but is that Obi Jon Kenobi holding a lite sabre in that last pic? Lite as in Bud Lite? The Force, strong it is, in this one.

[Rob]

no its estrella damm...

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

Nice articulation from a basic 50mm lift

In case Mrs Andy is worried by those pics, you could drive straight down the hill but we thought it would be more fun to cross the slope

 

[Gav Peter]

ROTLMFAO!!! Ain't got the skills so must've been there but its darn suspicious photongenery dude

And secondly, where did Gav sleep?

Where he could buddy, where he could... Got that foldup tent mastered now - 'Sleeping [strike:lcllkjdo]bag[/strike:lcllkjdo] Dragon, Folding Tent' kinda theme

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

All 304 of my pictures in an album shout if you want the full resolution version of any of them.

Thats OK Jon - she can get out and take photos whilst I drive it!

thanks for more excellent pics Rob, good to see the Duff being consumed and the pool too

enjoyed the photo Album Jon - and sussed out the first techy descent - its around wp55-57 just after abandoned village Lleto

at wp056 did you take the right turn "meme piste + difficile" ? since i don't want to miss the fun bit!

 

[Keith Shuttleworth]

Nice photo’s lads, and what stunning scenery……even the one’s where Gav photoshopped himself in don’t distract one to much from admiring the seriously beautiful views.
Defo think I’ll have to invite myself along on one of those trips next year…Oh yes.

Yes that's where it is but again you can pick a line that's almost flat or do something more interesting 56 is a Y junction and the "meme piste + difficile" is visible from the junction so you're unlikely to miss it
