WOODLANDS IN APRIL

 

 

WE GOT TO THE SITE EARLY THIS MONTH AND IT WAS QUIET, WHICH WAS NICE. WE TRUNDLED INTO THE CARPARK BY THE BURGER VAN ... LOCKED THE HUBS AND WENT TO FIND THE MUD.

 

KEITH CLIMBING OUT OF WIPEOUT HILL

 

I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THIS DIP AND CLIMB, BUT IT LEADS TO THE GRAVEYARD ... THE HARD WAY?. THE TYRES ON TONKA ARE 31" AND THE RISE IN FRONT OF MY WHEELS IS 90 DEGREES AND OVER 3 FOOT HIGH

 

ALMOST BOTTOMING OUT AS THE FRONT WHEELS GO OVER THE TOP. LSD'S ARE A BIG HELP.

 

EVENTUALLY GETTING ONTO THE TOP . WITH MUCH MUD AND STONE BEING CHUCKED OFF THE WHEELS

 

GENERATION X FOLLOWS ME UP

 

ALSO GETTING ON TO THE TOP BUT A BIT MORE FORCEFULLY, WHICH RESULTED IN THE PASSENGER DOOR PICKING UP A NEW BATTLE SCAR FROM THE TREE STUMP AT THE TOP

 

JOHN SACKLEY DOING THE ROAD TO HELL ... ON HIS OWN AND ALL THE WAY ... TO MUCH APPLAUSE

 

GETTING MORE LIKE THE ROAD TO HELL THAT WE LOVE TO HATE ... FULL OF STODGY CLAY

THEN THIS LANDROVER CLICKED ON HIS ARB'S AND CRUISED THROUGH .. NICE

 

WELL I HAD TO HAVE A GO !!!

 

SPRAYING MUD AS I LOSE TRACTION. I HIT A WALL OF SILT FROM THE TRUCKS BEFORE ME AND THAT WAS THAT

 

HANDS IN THE AIR IF YOU ARE A STUCK SCOUSE GIT .... THAT'LL BE ME THEN ????

 

OH WELL ... THATS WHY I HAVE A WINCH .. NO POINT TRYING WITHOUT ONE. THANKS TO JOHN SACKLEY FOR WALKING INTO THE MUD TO UNHOOK THE WINCH

 

MARKY-B ... STUCK

 

ANOTHER ONE OF LEE CATHERICKS TRUCKS ... COOL LOOKING TRUCK

 

FOLLOWED BY THE WORST DECISION OF THE DAY. A NICE SERIES LANDY ON ROAD TYRES WITH A TOILET PULL CHAIN FOR A RESCUE LINE ... ENTERS THE ROAD TO HELL. TONKA SOON HAS HIM OUT THOUGH

 

LEAN

 

TIME FOR A SWIM

 

NICE FLEX FROM TINTOP

 

GENERATION X LIFTS A WHEEL ON ONE OF THE MANY RED RUNS

 

ALSO LIFTING A REAR ON A BLACK RUN.

 

"TONKA FLEX" OK JAMIE .. HEE HEE HEE.

 

TWIST BABY.

 

MARKY-B DOES THE SAME

 

KEITH AND SUE AS TINTOP ENTERS "NESSIE"

 

TONKA LOOKING MESSY THANKS TO THE ROAD TO HELL

 

BACK END OF THE GRAVEYARD AND TINTOP HAS NO WORRIES COPING WITH IT

 

EVEN RAISE A FRONT WHEEL

PLAYING IN THE POND

 

THERE IS A SIGN AT THE START OF THIS RUN SAYING "DANGER .. DEEP WATER" ... WE THOUGHT OF DAVE .. HEE HEE AND WENT IN ANYWAY

 

THE SPRINGS ON GENERATION X ARE STARTING TO BED IN ALREADY WITH ALL THE USE IT IS GETTING

 

LEAVE YOU WITH A NICE PIC OF GENERATION X FLEXING .... SEE YOU IN THE MUD SOON ....
