Some of the pics of our second excursion in the 110. Only had a slightly ding with a bumperette so not too bad. Had a an unfortunate slanging match with a big group (20 +) of ramblers. They had a 1995 OS map we had a 2010 OS map. Our map showed the route as a byway. Their map showed the route as a footpath. Ours was right as we asked the farmer.

Lol. Should have been going quicker bu they saw us and still closed the bloody gate which is when they began exchanging quite strong language. The bumperette damage was caused when we slid into a 2ft deep clay filled hole with a big bank which caught it and bent it round. If it wasnt there we would have lost the exhaust back box and maybe dented the wing.

Yep thats Corfe Castle. The lane finished just before the visitor centre car park so it was full of "grockles" which was fun as they kept just walking in front of us.

HI MATT nice pice there mate its nice down there all the best jon

[Matthew Arnold]

It is a stunning area. shame we had to tow one of the guys back at 4 though. His prop shaft went and being a 2wd-4wd is nackered him so towed him back from Corfe Castle to Puddletown. Took us an hour and a half but we had a towing bar so it was ok.

Next excursion will be the world famous Salisbury Plain M.O.D Training area. Only sticking to byways that we know we can drive. Did one we have never done before today and almost ripped the bumperette off.
