Thread: I've been flying, swimming and mountain climbing!

  1. #1

    I've been flying, swimming and mountain climbing!

    Just had a great weekend in Wales. Did loads and drove loads, but the best bits were when I went flying:




    And swimming:





    And mountain climbing:






    I know I've been bitchin about the hard ride you get from the shocks, but they soaked up that jump like it was nothing - I don't even think it hit the bump stops! I was really weird though because I wasn't even going that fast!

    Only two problems from a very busy weekend was that I lost my number plate in that water and now my aircon compressor is making a horrid noise... Anyone know if it's possible/easy to change the bearing?

    HA!! Welcome to my world, lol mine's been making a racket for a year. If you find a bearing code, lemme know and i'll order one too. Company up the road wanted about £150 - £250 to sort it out.

    Nice picks anyway though Nick, looks like fun!

    Great pix.

    I would've lost my bully bar for sure if I went 'diving' like that.

    AWESOME photos! I can't wait for the weekend. I'm going to visit my sister and will make a detour on the way so I can have a little off-pavement fun! Looking forward to something more exciting than the Bunny* Trails that are accessible locally.

    * I actually consider them to be Mustang Trails since I'm pretty sure my car could navigate them, too.
