An eventful weekend indeed.
The F/O team have just completed thier first 'test' trip in one of the series ones.
We departed from Cambridge at 09:00 on saturday morning and drove 200 miles north to Ripon in Yorkshire, stopping in Peterborough to collect another team member. We were heading to the Land Rover Series One Club rally which was being held at Ripon race course.
After a fuel stop and coffee with a friend at Wetherby services we arrived at 2pm with our friend and his expedition prepared vehicle in tow.
People surged to meet us and we didn't get unpacked until about 8pm, before realising we didn't have any food and the clubs buffet dinner was fully booked (we had planned to dine with the club for the first night)
John and i went shopping - ouch £££ and the others set up the dining area just in time, as the heavens opened almost instantly after we had finished eating. After an eventful 'nights sleep' we rose fairly early and set up our pitch for day two.
We could not have asked for better weather and the people who offered their help and services was amazing, also thanks for the donations, they were much appreciated.
By the time i arrived home the land rovers speedometer had just clicked over 450 miles. Not bad going in two days i thought with 4 people on board and their luggage.
It was an eye opener!
