Drive Report - Kielder 4x4 Day

[JohnnyBoxer]

Yesterday I went out with Colin (Borderraider) in his Disco, for a day out in snowy Kielder Forest (Cheers Colin - Top Day)

It was an early start with breakfast @ Kielder Castle @ 8.30am, so I left home @ 5.50am to get to Colins by 7am

Fresh overnight snow was the order of the day (familiar theme this winter) and arriving @ Colins, they had had about 3" of new snow

We set off and filled up for the day ahead

We met Mort and Gailforce there, also in a green Disco - nice to meet you both

After a super breakfast 24 vehicles set off, led by the Kielder Rangers to area, usually off limits for the general public and the event raised money for the local Mountain Rescue

Scenary was simply stunning with heavy, fresh overnight snow................the pics say it all, but it really was like Scandinavia out there and I'll let the pics ................say it for themselves

Mort (deliberate shyness) & Colin

Mort in action

What a view

At the end of the say the Kielder rangers took the group to an old Sand Quarry, for a play

I've never done anything like this before, but really enjoyed it...............another great way to get out into British fabulous countryside

Johnny ,
That look like great fun , and the scenery is fab too .

Wouldn't mind a bash at that some day myself - I often see some Landy's locally all kitted out for this sort of thing , normally on a Sunday morning - they do look the business .

Gonna get one for yourself ?
