Yep,

Totally agree, what a magic day. Great turnout and weather was brilliant.

Thanks to everyone involved, hope the fund raising went well?

Also introduced my nephew to off roading, he absolutely loved it and cant wait to get behind the wheel again!

Yup, a brilliant day out, made better by the weather and the number of people there, must be the most I've seen there before, and the shiny's were out in force.

A ton of photos here, a few were in sport mode so may look similar

A brilliant day all round, even though I am now in the doghouse for introducing my American passenger Janis to the joys of driving off road as she now wants to trade her Hyudai Sante Fee in Florida for a real off road car! Also thanks to whoever supplied the jump leads to get my friend's Sport going after the boot had been left open a bit too long flattening the battery.

REALLY gutted to miss this, it looked great. :'(  SWMBO ate a dodgy Chinese on Saturday night and you can guess the rest :o  Hope it won't be too long 'till the next one.

I also had a great day with the family.  The wee man especially loved his first time off road.

Thanks especially to the nice guy in the silver Discovery who pulled me out when I was stuck.

Here is a link to some photos taken by my daughter, no real action ones as she couldn't get out with her broken ankle.

She was basically taking photos of whatever was near to us.  Here are a few -

On behalf of my Mum and the Park Family I would like to Thank everyone for coming along to the Marquee and buying raffle tickets, home baking and food and drinks! They raised £480 for The Scottish Cot Death Trust which have been an amazing support to The Park Family!

We would like to Thank everyone who donated home baking and raffle prizes and a Thank you to Graeme Pitcaithly for the use of his stove, Johnnie Drysdale for the use of his BBQ and to The Hunter family for looking after the home baking stand and to Lara Pitcaithly for supervising the raffle ticket sales.

All your help and support was gratefully appreciated!

I had a great day out. It was my second time off road - first time was a green lane run - and I really enjoyed it. It was good to meet up with other from the D2 Boys Club as well as everyone else  :)

My 6 year old boy (Piers) loved getting a shot of driving the D2 off road, and his big brother wants a shot next time.............

A big thanks to the 2 drivers who towed me out when I got stuck on the last muddy corner before the end. I don't know what I was thinking trying to drive through that :-[

Hehe, almost. I was thinking that I need a new metal front bumper with recover points, a winch, 2" lift, MT or AT Tyres, CB, Steering guard, Diff Guards....................

But don't let SWMBO find out or I'll get leathered :-[
