Saw two Syncros today in the Lake district

Post by nevill3 »

I was passed by two Syncros today that looked like they were in convoy with a couple of other 4x4 vehicles, one was a Red Doka i think and the other a blue Westy or could it have been the other way round? They looked like they were heading for Grizedale Forest where I know there are some dificult Off road routes to tackle.

Was it any one from here? :?:

Great videos, it was definitely them that I saw heading either up to Grizedale Forest or south towards Lakeside at the bottom of Lake Windermere.

I want a Syncro even more now but I should just be happy with what I've got for now. Maybe one day...... :mrgreen:

Hi guys, yep, we had lunch up in Grizedale on monday :) if it was about that time? Mike Ghia, I have to thank for a load of advise (as well as my invite on said trip) had been with us sat/sun, the two syncros were out for their first trips greenlaning, the westy fresh into this country, mine because I only rebuilt and fitted the vc on friday afternoon :lol: I had been running it 2wd for over a year.
I guess I really should introduce myself, as I'm more of a 'lurker' than 'someone one here'! I'm Dave from Halifax and I now have a need to get out on more 4x4 trips :D

Iltis needs another outing! Find some lanes! Michael also bought a HiLux surf and is keen to go out too.
I don't think there's that much over Calderdale way is there?
