Can't wait for this trip especially after the video which was posted on here it just get the taste buds going ,I have been trying to sort out my CB,I bought a Midland 42 hand held from 4x4cb.com some years ago and have been hopeing to contact them with no luck ,are they on holiday or gone bust ? I need some parts.It is a handy bit of kit as it seem to fit in any car here it is in my daily driver.

I'm hopeful I can make it and this sounds ideal, third time lucky as the last two outings I have had to Salisbury Plain have resulted in repair bills, one minor  and one ... not so much  |

I was out there most of yesterday. Nice after the rain as it kept the dust down.
Quite a lot of mil activity. And I managed to get (another) puncture |

Repair bills, punctures... You're not selling this to me!

Punctures can happen anywhere (although out there you get a lot.... flint or old 5.56 shells)
Damage to your vehicle... depends on how much poo you want to drive through, or if the red mist comes down... same as anywhere really. |

Punctures and tyre cuts are always a concern with greenlanes sadly.
Around here it's normally dumped rubbish being the root cause. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

In fairness the first one was a broken rear mudflat bracket - hardly a shock on an 11 year old Defender. The second was a ruptured brake pipe - more worrying but by this point the car was 12 and it was totally unrelated to the off road activity. |

Whats the buy in here ? My 110 is as standard as a very standard thing and my off road tool kit consists of a penknife and a few cans of Stella so I need to know if standard issue would cut the mustard. If so I may drag the old man along, he's thinking of swapping his DS for a deafner so this should seal the dealio... Thanks Wes Oh woe, oh woe My crusty old landrover, It will not go. |

You should be fine, there is not much a standard Def won't conquer anyway.
If you've got some kit bring it, if not don't worry there will be plenty. Mainly in case of emergency not for deliberate use. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

Pretty much what he said.
I too have a very standard 110. I have self recovery gear but much prefer to not use it. I am past spending a day winching stuff out of holes. 1995 Defender 110 CSW 1971 SIIA Lightweight |
