It had never been open to normal Landies mate, the slope was extreme for road going vehicles, not many could have got up it by any way.
Short of a trialler, you where not getting up that hill, ask Lee. the D3 did it through the leccy bits & Andy's skill, nowt else.
Hope you get better, i cant wait to kick mud in your non bike loving face!!
:)
Nope, mines a genuine G4 Event wagon in Orange :) I saw a Yellow G4 (they were limited edition vehicles made to celebrate the G4 Challenge in Llandudno though.
That's if you can see me after you've got a face full of flies and cow s*it from riding your bike!
I'd like an off-road bike one day, but the idea of riding on the road covered in cow skin with my head in a bowl doesn't appeal that much...

Andy's tyres I presume ;-)
I recon we should have just nicked the fuses from the fuse box and then see who the smart arse is ;-)
jealous moi? :-)

you cant abandon me! I'll never get mine finished then!
I thought the plan was to tow the caravan with morph and then leave the kids in the morph wing and keep the caravan civilised? :)
im glad you had a good one (apart from the offroading) I'm still trying to work out how i can make more time so i can come unofficialing sometime :(

I understand they're good on stony stuff. They're also reckoned to last a long time, whereas MTs don't last if used on the road.
Mind you, I wasn't that impressed with BFG ATs either, as road tyres. too hard a compound for my taste on wet tarmac, perhaps I drive like a nutter too much of the time.

There's nowt to beat it on a sunny sunday afternoon, in a convoy of about
20-odd bikes... or even just a few. Best convoy run I recall was leading a group of about 40 out of Swansea and over the Black Mountain to Llandovery and the caff. One of they charity dos, easter egg run or somesuch.
ive had no problem in muddy stuff either. it sounds like it is just wet grass that get em. They definitely last well. Im just about to put 2 tyres on my car after 13k miles and my trac edges are still going strong after 6 years or so!
I've got stuck in fairly shallow mud on trac-edges, they clog with mud very quickly and don't self-clean very well.
They're OK on the road, last a long time and I never had the back end sliding around despite chucking it around the roundabouts quite a bit.
Yes - add vote to thanks - well done Lee.
Aye - a long trip each way - we clocked well over 500 miles in the 110.
Weather wasn't so bad really - for North Wales in October. The bothy certainly helped, providing enough protection to remain civilised.
Didn't attempt the o/r. Once we'd landed in Caernarfon (on a mission) the castle proved to be a splendid attraction/distraction for the wee ones.
Route home over the Llanberis pass provided spectacular views and not a few "look at that" squeals from the back.
Good to catch up with some and put faces to others - all the fun and not a single rivet counter in sight - once again, thanks Lee.
PS: tell my kids that Morph is up for sale and you're dead man .
We like to think we are prepared and ready to go - even so it took around
4 hours circling SW london before we managed to achieve escape velocity and slingshot our way to North Wales.FWIW: Final decision to attend was made/conformied @ 10:30 Friday am. The trick (for me) is to work like a slave Mon-Thur and then switch off the email/phone/post channels overnight Thursday.
Crumbs, that's severe :-(

Count us in ...
Aye, dpendant on date!

If you know of any one on looking for a camper with "History" then point them in my direction.
I will no doubt be titivating him prior to placing him in the back of one of the rags but if someone wants a little work to finish him then I could reflect that in the price. Though given the work that's already gone in to him he's no longer a project so won't be a "project" price.
Little work at the mo prior to camping means; Plumb in gas to cooker and hob & add vents as appropriate Add pipes for sink drain - provided Plumb in water pump for sink - provided Finish internal paintwork Complete internal decor Add curtains Book camping pitch
He's currently set up as a 2 berth sleeping but will transport 4/6 depending on how the seats are configured 4 seatbelted or 2 seatbelted and 4 side facing. Could easily be made in to a 4 Berth though with existing space and a little time / fabrication.
