Oh, I think there might be a picture or two ... I'll run them through the reg remover first !!!

Hi Guys, Avtur and RPJ.... Firstly, RPJ, I am so glad you made it home, but I was worried that the missus was then gonna drown you for drowning her car Owe yes!!!! we have plenty photos of the dunking to see if the car was a witch, fortunately the drowning was not terminal Thanks very much to you though as avtur has aluded to, for the wonderful guide that you were...just wish I had caught avtur doing his Reliant Robin three wheeler impressions. He (his car) spent more time looking like a dog peeing against a tree than a car doing off road stuff!!! ...at one point avtur you must have had two feet clearance under your rear o/side wheel ....so impressive...bet the wife was screaming like a good un' at the angle you had her at....no inuendo to be placed

Avtur, good to see you and we did have a chuckle, even at the end of the day, just a shame it was at poor old RPJ's expense!! Your wife has a serious 'acid' sense of humour too, thank her very much for being mad.

And as for the site itself, brilliant site, which was further enhanced by Andy's (cotefarmboy) dedication. It was well run, very well organised by him and his team. Until RPJ went into his undefeatable mode, I felt quite safe, with the reasurrance that cotefarmboy and his squadran of marshall's new what they were doing, we witnessed stuck fast landies being dragged out of mud, ......and ponds....... and you felt that if you got into difficulty that there was plenty of friends to join in, help and.......take the pi55

My wife was well impressed that the car was covered in mud, as was my 7yr old son and 9yr old daughter. We even had comments at the services on the motorway of ".....wow look at that car, nice to see a 4x4 being used as it should be".. So thanks again Andy terrififc day and NO DAMAGE.

All I can say everybody that couldn't make it is PLEASE!, PLEASE!! do try and go on the next one, if you are worried about damage Andy is quite CLEAR about where to go and what routes to use, if you want to maintain showroom body panels...my car was a month old and except for the mud still looks great (mud on it looks even better)

not forgetting qxd372 or whatever the forum name is, good to see you friend hope tuition was OK you looked fine on your own afterwards, sorry you had to leave early, but good luck

Thanks again all, see you next time

ok guys we are jealous enough!!! photos photos PHOTOS, please!

Hi guys,

Very pleased to meet you all at Tong on Sunday, what a friendly bunch! I had a terrific day and I'm sure you did too!
I was interested from the start to see how the FL2 performed, and I have to say that I was wholly impressed - it got to places I never thought possible, soldiering along in the footsteps of the higher-up D3s. Goes to show that it's trully a Land Rover under all its on-road trickery. Very good indeed.

The same applies to the D3 lot too. We've never been off road before and so some of it was quite daunting, but it tackled the course brilliantly, despite getting stuck in a forest, but we'll not go into that..!

The day was fantastic for not only getting to know your vehicle a bit better, but also for getting to put faces to names and meet other people who you'll often have spoken to on the forum. It was exceptionally well organised by Andy and the instructors and marshalls were always on hand and extremely helpful, adding largely to the enjoyment of the day.

I took 300 photos on the Sunday along (we made a weekend of it and came down from Edinburgh on the Saturday) and I'm looking forward to putting the best ones on the site soon.

Again, pleased to meet you all and hopefully there will be another event of the kind in the future! "CY from DISCO3"

couple of pictures in my gallery ... see latest additions to avtur ...

Great pics avtur especially the FL2 about to test its underwater abilities

They do look like great pictures

But one of you needs to spill the gossips on the FL2 thats trying to swim......

nice pictures npinks.

As regards the submarine activities: did you clean the radiators afterwards ? If yes (which I hope) could you remove all the mud ? I guess this could be difficult without damaging the fragile fins.

Excellent photos - it looked like a really great day. It's made me even keener to test out my off road abilities (which are fairly non existent at the moment). Roll on the next one

Great movies too,

especially the one where the disco goes over the Big Drop, and all you see is sky on the way up and dirt on the way down.

Shame no movies of the FL2's letting the side down

Looked like it got very tight going through the forest part too, lucky he has the side steps or his disco might have needed a dent or two sorting.
