[Hubber]

Sounds like a great time was had by all;)
Well done to everybody. ;)

[ROB 110 HICAP]

PS: to those 2 of you who heavily hinted that they deserved a prize for what they did, get stuffed. If you come as a trophy hunter and winge that other people got the prizes, then you're not in the forum/landrover team spirit as far as I can see. I organised this and got nothing for it other than knowing people enjoyed themselves, helped each other out without reserve and said thankyou at the end, thats reward enough.....the prizes are not the goal in this event. Sorry to post this, but those 2 people got my goat.

[Rich_P]

Rich P, change the coil before you come, lowloader home (james sunhill spares taxi driver: thanks)

The coil was fine. I did a compression test just after getting back home, and I've got no compression on cylinders two and three. Clearly a head gasket failure. :(

I must thank JamesSunhill for being taxi so that I could at least try something a bit easier to sort out (coil).

Otherwise it was a good weekend. It was unfortunate that some events occurred, and that one particular accident occurred. I hope you feel better about it soon Conkers.

No doubt look at it after he's had a few beers:D ...It was a challenge pulling him from a dead start up a 1 in 4 hill with Betty:eek: ...SO, i better go and unload the trailer and back of mota.....Once again, our thoughts with CONRAD....it touched everyone mate..:( .......team MASON and the JUGGERNAUGHTS

[bob696]

Thanks Rob etal ..... it was great. We all enjoyed ourselves. Looking forward to the next one.

Daisy got home without the slightest sign of overheating (I suppose it does help if you wire your new leccy fan in the right way round) and Sally only used a litre of EP90 :eek:

I was going to write a paragraph or two about a can opener question but I decided against it. A teenagers ego is very frail ;)

[andynxn]

[DerbysRed]

I'm up for organising a Peak District Treasure Hunt later in the year if theres enough interest..let me know and if anyone has any suggestions for dates. With all the summer holidays im suggesting late August..

Finally, Conkers...we're both really sorry.

[LandyV8]

Great weekend. A big thanks to the organisers. We had a great time. Got home about 3pm. all unpacked now. Time for some sleep I think. It was great to meet up with the regulars and some new faces. Roll on next time. I don’t have any pictures as I for got the camera. I think JJ and his dad were snapping away so i'll post those if he emails them to me.

Lewis, Beth & Jaya

I can only second what evenyone else has said.

I will post pics later.

[brent downey]

abu you are a 4x4 god ... got round the whole hunt in a bog standard 90 with a bent track rod , that you got in a bog. forever a hero:) :) :) :)

[Roger Whittle]

Is Conkers OK?

Probably not, but he will explain later when he can gather his thoughts. :(

Until then, can I add my thanks and admiration to Rob 110 Hicap for organising a tremendous event? Not forgetting Ben Breeze and Paul who were also part of the organising team. If any detractor had been present at the drivers briefing on Saturday morning, then they could have been in no doubt that everything was being and had been done to avoid annoying anyone or damaging anything. Rob made it quite clear we were there to enjoy ourselves without spoiling the enjoyment of others and I think we all did that. Well done and thank you again to the organisers.

The barbeque afterwards was at least as good as its always been and the Brothers Grim also deserve many thanks. And not just for the barbie, but for their ungflagging good humour and generousity - thanks guys.

My personal thanks to all the forum members who made Andy and I welcome and feel 'part of the family' and to Andy himself for all the hard work he did on the navigation. By the way, he's definitely going to flog the Mundano and get a Series II Disco TD5. :D

Apart from the very real sadness I and I'm sure all the Treasure Hunters feel, the weekend was a tremendous success and a credit to the forum. I've met a whole new raft of faces I can put to profiles and I hope I can count them all as friends.

Roger.

[Ben Breese]

Thanks all for attending. We can put loads of time and effort into but it wouldn't be anything without the hunters themselves:rolleyes: Glad everyone enjoyed themselves and everything, and a big thanks to Ada and his bros for providing a fantastic bbq once again:)
I recognise those boots in the pirst pic Adam:rolleyes::D

Cheers, Ben

[bob696]

some pics from "our " day out...not many, too busy enjoying it...

and Daisy appears in TWO of your photos :)

[AJC]

Well after being well peeved off after a 7.5 hour drive up on Friday due to Cornish road works, I was soon cheered up by the usual ribbing and general banter. The whole event was well worth the trip.

Well done Done to Rob and his team for yet another well organised event and Ada and his crew for another suberb BBQ. Well done fellas and well done everyone for the monies raised.

Great meeting a load of new faces in addition to the old ones.

We had a great team for the Treasure Hunt (Guy (Geobloke), Rick (The Rickster), Joy, Andy (Andynxn), Claire and Sharon) so thanks to you guys for making the Treasure Hunt itself a fantastic day out.

AJ (The King of Bling)

PS Rob, You git! I found a certain package when I was unloading. :D It will surface again at a future date/event. ;)

We didn't need a torch down the bunker, he even had to wear sunglasses to protect himself:D

[ROB 110 HICAP]

Which lane was that Satan? Was it the one with the pete bog in?

Ben
Its the one where you pass the phone mast, and we turned round towards the end and on the way back I thought I'd blown another turbo, when a branch rubbing the drivebelts caused a surprising amount of smoke:rolleyes:

[conkers]

Well guys the start of the weekend was really good for me and it was great to see all the familiar crowd.
I will return and with a new companion, it's good to see everyone else had a great time.

[DOMFISH]

[ROB 110 HICAP]

Email from JJ, a pat on the back for you all:

Hi Rob

I am just writing to say thank you for all the hard work you put into organising this weekend. As an ex-member of the forum I wondered what kind of reception I would get when I arrived, and it made me realise that whatever happens on forums etc, you know where your friends are. It was nice seeing everyone again and the weather helped make it a great weekend.

We may not have made a huge effort on the clues but I succeeded at my aim – Angie had been asking me about coming offroading and she thoroughly enjoyed it…you may well see her again! Lol!

I was pleased with the performance of my yellow rangie – the longest run it had had until we set off for Rhayader was about a 6 mile round trip – and we made it home without issue. As I told Angie, all LR toolboxes come with a big hammer, gaffa tape, WD40, cable ties and a supersize pack of blind faith….

James

[Rich_P]

A most excellent message I see. Very good.

[Geobloke]

Guy, have you got your pictures sorted yet. i forgot my camera and i know you took some of my LR so i would like to see them please.

And the next installment. I hadn't realised I had taken so many pics! :rolleyes:

[Geobloke]

1) i'll never tell ;)

2) i offerd you a cup, you could have been the judge :rolleyes:

Cheers

Well no offence to you and your sock but I think what applies to "going commando in another mans fatigues" also applies in this case too!! ;) :D

Cheers for the offer though and love the house trousers man! Do they come with a paisley jacket, carpet slippers and a pipe too??? :D

[Geobloke]

Ok folks here are the last of the pics. These are of the way home on sunday, via one or two lanes. All weekend I was amazed at how low the water levels were in the resivoirs and it looks like from some of these pics that they are about 30foot lower than they should be. :eek:

The heath and grass land too is so dry, it is a real tinder box just waiting for some buggger to chuck a fag butt or glass bottle out of the window. Gaud we need some rain and soon!

Who's for a forum rain dance then? :p

[redhand]

geobloke Where abouts is the quarry in the lastset of pics. It looks familiar. But then they all look the same, don't they. :D

Great pics everyone!
Rich P: nothing wrong with that head!

Toppa: Was it only one T-towel you used to make your pygamas or are they Mothercare!

The head itself is fine. The gasket looks to be in a sorry state between cylinders two and three. ;)

Pah! yer jessie I can remember Moses driving around for months on 2 cylinders!! :D At least it is an easy fix!

[Rich_P]

Yes it's an easy fix. Doing some other head work while it's off too and decoke too.

So How did Moses go about with no power? :confused: Because mine has no power on two cylinders, and I was being forced to use low ratio first gear to actually go up the slightest incline. :o

[LandyV8]

When I jump started it, they removed the seat and pulled out a veritable tree root network of wires the width of your wrist:eek:, hardly any rooom for the battery. Allt that and no splitcharge:rolleyes:

Get him on line with some piccy's.. Never got a chance to have a decent look at it when i was there and wiring is always worth a look...

Mmm educate him on the split charge idea!!


Cheers

[toppa]

Here is all the piccy's i took, not many wasnt too triggrt happy....


Cheers

[Corsa4x4]

I think the split charge is next on the list! ill get some photos on at some point of the wiring, it is a bit of a shambles but its just possible to work out what they all do!

[ROB 110 HICAP]

Got this from Air Ambulance people, so big pat on the back to you all, especially the 'fabulous butcher boys'

[Satancom]

I think I saw you yesterday in Penybontfawr at about 16:40. I did wave but I was in my BMW so I probably just looked like some mad man waving at strangers. Could it have been you?

I borrowed a new Disco new from work the other day and waved at a SIII, they were a little confused at first, but waved with a big smile once they saw the loon behind the wheel :D

[ROB 110 HICAP]

Sommat tells me you're getting much happiness in learning about that!!! ;) :D
I'll get him to post the pic. But it goes a little like this:
one 90 (sorry Corsa), one handwinch cable disappearing from nearside to tree, one hilift laying on ground discarded, one steep drop to drivers side and lots of mud!:D

[Ben Breese]

Hang on Rob, we wanna see YOUR pictures of YOU stuck UP TO YOUR AXLES in the peat bog first:rolleyes:
Hands up who wants to see them! Can't shame everyone else and not yourself now can you;):D

[Corsa4x4]

yeah well! we tried hi-liftin ourselves out of it but it just kept sliping back down into the big ol' ditch and we were back to square 1. we shamedly ended up having to reverse out of it and go back the way we came. And yeah, that probably would have been us by penybontfawr, and dont worry about it, we wave at strangers all the time!

[Corsa4x4]

theres a photo. doesnt really show the amount of stuckness! the bricks were to try and get some grip with that wheel, and the chain was just to try and stop us slipping any further! i do appologise for the amount of my underwear im showin in this pic by the way! and the pink belt isnt mine!

should have used the hi-lift & chain to winch the back end round rather than trying to lift it. Though I know that's really easy to say sitting in my nice warm, dry living room.

[Corsa4x4]

we tried pushing the back end round with the hi-lift off the bank, but as soon as wwe tried moving or took it away, it slipped back down again. we'll conquer it when we have more time and hopefully less pouring rain!

You have to come back on and say you did it, we all know you got stuck and gave up now (that is why i never post the i got stuck and gave up photo's of me) :D



You should talk fashion with Red, he likes pink bags :D


WHere's the piccy of your electrics we have all been waiting for :)

Can you PM me a grid ref for the lane?

Paul

[Corsa4x4]

sorry, weve gotta sort out the seats out soon, maybe tomorow so ill take some photos then. I think we should do it easy in the dry, but we arent ashamed of turning back, cos that did involve a three point turn in the river vyrnwy and a descent that was cambered towards a 20 foot drop into it. and it was far from grippy!

[Corsa4x4]

i will do when i get the map Paul. I imagine you will now humiliate us and do it without any problems!

[adafish]

neva neva neva ever go laning on ya own, ya won't catch me doing that...;)

[Widget]

...or getting stuck for that matter, not never, ever, no no no...:D :D :D

[Corsa4x4]

Any reason for doing that?

[toppa]

...or getting stuck for that matter, not never, ever, no no no...:D :D :D

Wow the rear axel is really drooping, only does that when the front wheel is REALLY hanging into something :D


mmmm LIke a ditch!!!! How the hell did you manage that????

Red SHUT IT :D


Cheers

[toppa]

Any reason for doing that?

Because the one tha "Doth protest too much" did it and got REALLY REALLY stuck :D


Cheers

[adafish]

not nice that...:D , a bit of topic here Jon, but did ya see 5th Gear Monday? they had the 460ls on...amazing car, even the driver assist, when parking...this one had all the gadgets and weighed in a £71,000:eek:

[Paul Humphreys]

Thanks, but probably done:rolleyes: just can't place it.

Paul

[Corsa4x4]

the bit we got stuck on is next to a very unlived in (at least i hope so!)house with a big pond and a hilux outside, in a sort of quarry thing. It crosses the vyrnwy at a fairly wide place (i would day its about 15 metres but my perception of distance is useless) and less than a foot deep. will put the grid ref up tomorow

Just caught it - I spent a month demonstrating that car and its systems! Also driving the car 4 hours to and from this former soviet air base Michelin Driving Centre (http://www.drivingcenter.de/galerie/luftbilder/luftbilder.html) every day near Berlin. Happy days!

I'm driving J33ps tomorrow - take the rough with the smooth eh:eek: :D

Hey when we going out getting stuck again Ada? Really enjoyed the trip with Conkers t'other week, perhaps June when he's back?

[adafish]

ASAP, try and find somewhere different, was round Stratford on avon today, i remember doing some round that way years back..

No need for the grid ref now. It was not driveable for years as PCC put a gate on the other side of the river (new gate there now) and it was to narrow to get a 4x4 thro. It took a lot of work by the CRAG Rtl for Powys to get it open.

But its a nice crossing I am surprised you got stuck there:rolleyes: . I have taked quite a few on that lane and have only have to pull one out. But the drop/ditch on the one side has been like that for years. We use to drive thro the river then turn around before the gate.

Theres another ford uo that was thats not marked on the map;) .

Join the club Joby, theres lots of that on here! Why are you posting at 9.15, you should have been in Ians session:D

So ada how did you manage to stick it in a ditch on a flat piece of lane? Is it an Instructors Only secret manouveure?:D

[adafish]

well the 110 was just a bit to long to get out of a nasty "rut", that WIDGET drove thru, and it just pushed me in the ditch, saying that...the lane was very greasey and Jon had trouble getting to the end of it to come back and pull me out..so there:p
