Steve, apart from loading some piccies on the forum, I've been looking at potential modifications and purchases for an arctic trip in 2015. Very Happy

Can only really echo all the comments that have gone before. A great day with great company. Thanks to all at LRE West country for organising.

I did manage to capture some video footage of the more gentle early part of the day, which I'll try to edit into something respectable, along with more of the stills. Sadly, the video camera battery packed up just before we entered Middleton wood.

For fellow statto's ..... according to the GPS log, we did 55.48km in 6hrs 45 mins (excluding the lunch stop)

A few pics....

If some vehicles had traction trouble in sticky/slippery areas, were there no Defenders with winches?! Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

A twelve minute video covering elements of the friendlier first section of the day and then some stills of later on in the day after the camcorder battery packed up.
