Got back late last night from a fun weekend's green laning in Wales with friends and colleagues. Brilliant weather made the whole weekend really great. Nobody broke anything either. Which is nice...
The Go Pro camera is really good, but in future I'll be more selevctive of my filiming and won't just leave it running shooting pictures. Roof mounting alose makes for really boring footage
Anyhoo - here are some pics and videos...

Lunch Stop
Dynamic Splashes ftw

I know that didn't look that dramatic so here's me half way up the rock wall. 2 of our party have broken halfshafts there in the past. Here's a snap [sic] of me on the way up the rock on the second pass:-
Bit of a Vista
Following one of the lanes - I'm amazed at how much work the suspension's doing!

The obligatory "Alan Lying Underneath" shot (I was just checking the belly pan)
Me carrying the camera and not realising its on!
Loads more experimentation needed with camera mounting locations (its a Go-Pro Motorsport Hero that i only got the other week) and some of the settings (its a bit dark taking stills). Operator error hindered it taking the best shots.
"Trauck of the Trip" was Carl's completely stock Suzuki Vitara on road tyres that followed our pimped toys almost everywhere. It lost the rearmost 10 inches of its 11-year-old exhaust pipe and the front corssmember has been somewhat reshaped, but he's now in touch with a friend of mine for some decent tyres and a bit more ground clearance. The think was like a mountain goat though - fabulously impressive! Was it sold as the Chevvy Tracker? Carl's has a 1.6 ptrol motor and he's having some "Barbie" stickers made up for it!
