Sorry to see that ding, looks like it's survived ok though? Hope so!

Here you go, from the reversing camera off the dash cam so not so not great quality, but on 3 wheels, so you're doing right I think!



Will put a quick vid with the best bits at some point... Hopefully see you at the next one soon

Echoing the above, many thanks to organisers for their hard work to make this another brilliant event.
Sorry not to see the ones that couldn't make it, but wonderful to catch up with old friends and make some new ones.
What a blooming shame for Tom and family, our Doka made it back (noisily) with no dramas.
Photos to follow....can't wait for SP!

Ha, I think that's why he was following me around in my slightly lower van, didn't want to dink expensive new things!

skid plates, ummm . . .

It looks like the sump hangs quite a bit lower than the engine cradle on the PD engine. Is that going to give more problems on a syncro?

Just to reiterate what others have said. A great big thank you to all the organisers for a fantastic weekend, and a particular thanks to Clive for his patient instruction. It was great to put some new faces to names and to meet partners and families - our kids are already asking when the next one will be so they can play with their new friends. Hopefully everyone got home safely without too many more breakages. We're looking now to see whether we can make Camperjam so hope to see everyone again there, if not before.

Right now however I need to do some serious thinking about our spoiler and a few other things on the van (note to self not to park too close to Dai's van in future. )

I'd also like to thank Patrick and all involved for a great event. Thanks for the event, for the guidance and instruction both in and out of the quarry, for setting up the trial, for finding the green lanes, for lots of great company and a fire.
Thanks for putting up with us and our dogs.
Special thanks to Dai for fixing my fan before we set off home

Pretty happy with my suspension set up all of a sudden Looking forward to the next Jolly

No photos of the action yet? You lot are slacking off...

Videos?

There are some on stupid fistbook...
I sure hope facebook does not drain the life from the forum! long may it live!
It just takes a bit more time to upload on to here, but its something that will last forever whereas in a months time you wont be able to find the photos on facebook as they will be a long way down a long tedius scrolling pit of dooooooooooom...

There's some on FB in Syncronauts section

So true. Support your forum!

Unfortunately we forgot our camera so just phone photos!
Again another brilliant weekend, I know it has been said but thank you to all those who organized the event as I know how much time and effort goes into putting on these type of weekends.
Still not worked out how to upload photos properly yet!

Thanks to all that came. No photos to speak of (too busy organising you lot!), but lots of great memories.
I thought I'd be bereft without my van this time, but thanks to Simon and Neil I got to drive. Spurred me on to finish my engine swap and getting motoring again soon.

We took feedback from last year and had a better camping field and did the laning on Sunday. Sadly that left the cider farm visit to Monday lunchtime when numbers were depleted. But we still managed to block the farmyard with Syncros.

Thank you everyone for taking their rubbish home - this year the campsite was spotless and needed no cleaning.

Next year...?
