United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Martinique Blue

Oooh! Another one! I'm def gonna try and make this one.

Any tips from the last one? Kit etc? I can get a hold of most stuff - radios, first aid kits, ropes (kinetic or normal) etc etc, but if there's anything in particular that was useful (other than not driving into massive ruts! Wink Whistle Rolling with laughter )

What was the camping like? 09MY FL2 Td4 XS, Style Pack, Privacy Glass, Martinique Blue.. oh so very blue..

Agree with CG. Lee tried hard and it came to a point of helping the car out or potentially buring the clutch out. It was honking at the end.

You shouldn't need any special kit. If you have it then feel free to bring it just in case but don't spend money unless you really want to.

On the camping side there was one or two that slept in the cars (poor them it was freezing) and a couple in Wanehope Mountain Bothy. But unfortunately in January the campsites were all closed. May however they are all open Thumbs Up

You can see the smoke (presumably from the clutch) in the video at one point!
