Got the jate ring fitted this afternoon. I put an M12 threaded bar through for added strength as I don't want my home made device failing and becoming dangerous! Only had nut caps for the M12 nuts so not quite as tidy as I would have liked but it's on ready for the weekend

Thanks

I try to do things properly

I don't want to get stuck but if I do - Dan gets to use his winch and I get to use my jate ring

Basically getting stuck is a win win situation for everyone except my pride

If you do have to use your jate ring, dont forget plenty of pics

Its all part of the fun getting stuck and you dont loose any pride

Well I didn't get stuck

had a great time on Salisbury Plain with Dan (L90 DNY on here) and Ross and got very very muddy! Really impressed how my defender coped being as road biased as it is. Really great fun!
Quick before shot. We all met just outside Devizes at 9 this morning.

This is after the first byway. A sign of things to come....

After a few more lanes we stopped for a cuppa. As we were stopped loads of people started throwing themselves out of a plane! It was great to see as I haven't seen sky-diving before. My phone wouldn't have done it justice but it was great to watch! (Getting muddier!)

Then for a play in the mud pit. I passed on this section as a chap with a 110 on all terrains beached on it so I did the just as muddy but not as deep bypass. A shot of Dan getting through successfully.

The 285 tyres really do make a mess!

On to a bit of open byway to go to the little chef down the road for a toilet break.

Quick shot of the defender parked whist we went to the loo. It had dried a bit by this point

Bit of open fields to cross towards stone henge (which I forgot to take a picture of

)

Quick stop to cook some bacon, sausages and eggs then on to some more lanes

Then the sun started going down so started heading back to Devizes

Then the final shot at the end of the day

What a fantastic day. Having a guided tour was really good. Doing non damaging lanes and Tom the guide knew where to go because the red flags were up. The only disappointment was that I didn't get to use my jate ring

That was a great day! Best thing I've done in it yet. Can't believe you didn't get stuck! Roll on the next one
