I'll take that as a compliment
Thought Pete was taking the odd crafty look in my direction as he was working away with the pliers...
Genuine cad-plated locker door stay that stuff - wonder if I owe him a replacement

Where's all of the pictures that were being rattled off when we were driving the river?
I'm sure there were a couple of people snapping away there....

I took some footage with Rodger's(?) video camera but neglected to take any pictures by the river until we all wandered up to the cool bit to watch the recovery.

There's this one - Lewis driving I think ...

A view of part of the campsite from half way up...
Mark smacks my front panel; I then smack it even harder, Aidan managed it clean, Russel did too the first time, but not the second
Repaired Sunday night, sortof... thanks Russel, for the indicator and the encouragement (took me a little longer than you, but hey
)
CJ takes picture of Pete getting a bit near to a Dokas critical angle and the craggy edge... a beautiful spot where we played under dappled shade. Shouts of 'lunch is ready' were studiously ignored for half an hour or more
Julia takes a welcome paddle...
Lewis laughing at the ease the RRS drops over the craggy edge (or posing for the camera?)
Russel astutely takes a lot more care of his red'un, but climbs down safely and exits stage left (after an unscheduled 3-point turn)
Doug - proud owner of both T3 and T4 syncros, drove his T4 Syncro effortlessly up the easier route, and down the difficult one Saturday evening..
We find another interesting road over to the West on Sunday night, Sam finds his rear slipping off the dry, dusty track and stops to take stock of where he might end up - then drove it out safely (with slightly raised adrenalin I should think)
Jenny doesn't look at all convinced about that route - does she?
Or was that a crunched mint giving her bad toothache..
A fine salad day picnic is provided by Aidan on our loadbed... and a better spot on a scorching July Monday doesn't exist !
Tell me this isn't an ancient trackway - yet another idyllic route we drove on Monday. The valley to the right looked like a lambs' paradise

That tree... 
Russel clears the deadwood, CJ edges through (a very tight spot

Is it me, or did that singlecab actually bend in the middle to get around the tree?
That's a true-er representation of the angle - it was still enough to have the rear wheel almost off the ground

Trick of the light I think, called pivoting around your obstacle when no-one's looking

It's called hanging the weight of the van on one dropside hinge.
