I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone who was involved in running the Lincomb meet last weekend, to Tony and Becky for allowing us to use their fabulous land, and preparing a great course. As well as all the guys and girls who assisted; Toby, Ian, Stacey etc top work, including running around the special stages chasing land cruisers!! Modelmakerman and his team of scouts did a great job of keeping us fed, and an excellent job of jet washing the vehicles down at the end of play, I hope you guys raised a good amount during the weekend.

Last but not least, all the club members who turned and made the event what it was. There was an impressive turn out of both people and LC's, friday night was well attended, and come saturday the camp ground was full to bursting. There was a great collection of LC's, and its always nice to see everyone's trucks up close. I was also impressed with to see two 60 series in attendance, including the immaculate silver one that arrived on sunday, I don't know who's it was but it was a very smart example.

There seemed to be a good mix of old and new faces, some I managed to chat to and some that I just ran out of time to catch, doesn't time fly when your having fun! Hopefully I'll put a few more names to faces at the next one.

Thanks to everyone who has posted pics, there are some brilliant ones there, and its a great way of seeing what was happening at the different areas of the site. Some of you guys are very adventurous!!

I only managed to find the time to take a couple of pictures during the weekend, so here's a couple of Ryan's parking spot down by the river:

Thats impressive articulation for an 80 front axle.

Testing the door seals.

Rob and Mike came to the rescue.

With a bit of coordinated team work the 80 lives to fight another day....well, minus an alternator

A bit late, but some pics anyway ....

How to winch a rock out the ground:

Hmm - hadn't thought there was a drought on??

Oops - more haste, less speed ...

Woof - wash my face, mum!

Spent a couple of hours yesterday getting rid of the rest of the traces of Lincomb from the truck

Doesn't look like much in the photos, but filled two builders buckets and probably wash another one down the drain

I'd hang onto that Steve, I think Ben might need a bit more to complete the internal camouflage look he's going for. Hehehe

 

[Ben]

Would have been even more if the scouts hadnt done such an excellent job of jet washing the trucks before we left.

 

[Graham]

Nice picture Chris, looking more relaxed there.

Gra.

 

[stevoyorke]

Of course Chris would be relaxed, he came out the other side in one piece where some of us would not dare to go heh!

 

[Chris]

Ahh, but what you can't see is that the picture is actually upside down.

Relaxed, of course, it's Lincomb. Where better to relax than amongst friends and a bumper crop of Cruisers?

Just a helpful tip...Do not mix lincomb sand with North Yorkshire Mud...It creates a substance as hard as concrete
