Greg - Caravelle, with just the 3 row original seat with lap belts in back, fluffy shiny please as its my first run out on lanes. May have family in back, if not happy to take others for a ride.

Ian - Caravelle, scratchy and dented, up for anything inc. Friday night fun, if the roof tent will clear low branches (bow saw on board)

Rich - Camper. Nothing fiendishly scratchy preferable - though I'm up for most things. ATs. All seats are taken (Lisa, Finn and Ed), apart from middle of rear seat, though this doesn't have a seat belt. I can bring a buddy seat for when we're on roads though to make 5th passenger legal. We will probably leave mid afternoon Sunday.

If you haven't already, newbies to the Devon lanes might do well to have a look at some of the pics of previous events, eg. 2007 gives a good impression of some of the lanes.

Think 'sunken road only just wide enough to get down, with the bottom heavily eroded tipping the vehicle 45 degrees either way, with rocks and tree limbs sticking out on each side'..

Tim - Caravelle, not up for driving lanes as no engine protection yet, and its not at all a wader. A few towing strops and shackles could come with me if they might be useful.

Mr Mule: Doka with Vindic. Mud terrains. Standard saggy suspension and no non standard under carriage protection, but happy to take the rough scratchy routes. Not ready for any wading though please. Waffle boards, hilift, strops etc ready. Likely arrive Friday evening, and leave Sunday lunch time. Two spare seats.

Shall I bring the fire pit or not? Space inside but won't load it if it's not necessary i.e if ground fires are allowed on site.

PS will pack 46mm socket & 3/4 drive, 4 foot scaff tube and BIG stud spanner (H.E.Co special) as per usual.

We're intending bringing a washing machine drum barbecue, if I finish it in time, but your choice Ian...
