didn't take my troop as still pooerly .... but had a cracking wk end none the less Very Happy

myself and a few of the lads went up for the 'difflock' drumclog event ....
it was a very very very muddy and wet wk end after all the rain we'd had
it rained a few times through the day but mostly at night (especially sat night) but as pics show through the day time the sun made an apperance and got quite warm with nice blue skies .... of course there was the normal problems .... rear blown diff on mates disco (centre pin went and put a 4" gash in outer casing) spare diff fitted and hole plugged up with metal putty .... hydrauliced disco on sun morn due to a little bit of water intake ... but got that sorted ... rear engine seal blown on paj (we think) on sun morn so unfortunately recovery home but at least alex got nie on whole wk end's playing in .... no pics of paj being recovered ..sorry (couldn't do that to a fellow JAP owner anyway) even if it is the wrong make lol ..... here's a few pics of wk end .. i'll get more uploaded once i get them of my mates

this is the 2nd time my mate has tried to kill me ... got it slightly wrong at the bottom of a steep downhill run ...once again the camera doesn't do it justice .... i virtually had my feet on the pass door and was leaning up over towards the drivers door to try and keep weight on drivers side ... it was teetering that much on going over

a couple of vids of alex in some of the streams ... after all the rain they had risen a bit
forgot to tell him to keep to the right when going round the corner as it drops off to the pass side ..... ooooops Laughing

after torential rain from about 8pm sat to 1pm sun the streams we'd driven sat had rissen alot ... not sure if alex was driving down this part or just being washed down .... i stopped videoing when i thought he was in trouble and changed my concerns to him and his son ...but luckily enough he managed to get out ....well done alex

even with a few probs and the muddy conditions (we spent alot of time having to winch) we all had a great wk end and a few stories to tell lol
