Have to say, the more i do this kind of stuff the more i love these vans. They are bloody great! The only problem is one is not enough....

As usual a very good day out. It was good to see some new faces and you youngsters enjoying it.

My VC seemed to be working properly after it having a moment at Syncropendence. Although I'm again thinking about a front locker. Would have made the climb at the muddy hill possible and the hill on Ride Lane less of a drama.

I will have a look through my camera later to see what I have. Pretty sure I have Lloyd breezing up the bit on Ride Lane!

A really good day out and conditions couldn't have been more different to last year!

P.S. Tom, get some AT's fitted! You'd have no troubles on those slippery climbs. I'm sure they compensate for my distinctly average abilities...it can't be all about torque as I have none to spare :mrgreen:

Got AT's, just that they are remoulds!! Apparently £170 for 5 delivered! :D Once I have a bit more money I will be buying decent tyres. One thing I never scrimp on.

Cheers for the vid Tom, might repost that. Did you have one of me coming down?
I reckon if you are using that van mainly offroad you should get a front locker, I'm amazed at the difference it makes

Yeah, but it's on my phone. Give a day or so and I put it up.
