Laning near Reeth, Showcasing new Bumper
By: StuartN Date: November 25, 2013, 4:03 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Ay Up, We went Laning around the Richmond/ Reeth area yesterday
for a couple of hours with a friend from NERO,
A great day and some nice steady Lanes. Had spent all of
Saturday messing about including removing the horrible winch
bumper that came courtesy of the PO and fitting something a
touch more traditional, so thought I could use this thread to
showcase a little more of my de-gaying efforts.
The rain held off and the scenery was gorgeous. Low sun in the
latter part of the afternoon was a touch of a problem in places.
Right at the start of the day the reverse gate spring sprung but
didn't cause any problems.
On the plus side, my washer motor that wasn't working at the
start of the day had fixed itself by the end, so that is a job
off the list!

Aye but it is nice and original so I didn't think you would mind
too much.
Had it been all gayed up I would of course have omitted those
pics.

i think the fact it's a defender makes it fucking gay not the
bling :wanker:

Ok so acknowledged that we all hate Defenders based on the fact
they have coil springs (which were perfectly common on other
vehicles around the time LR were still fitting leaves), does
anybody have anything to say about anything such as green laning
or nice scenery?
Otherwise please ignore any pictures with the Defender in for
the sake of your blood pressure.

Upper Swaledale is my favourite place (have yet to find anywhere
to beat it in my affections in 35 years of travel) and you spent
yesterday roaming it in a good looking leafer...........
Sitting at my desk in the overcrowded south east, do I feel
envious?
Exceedingly so.
Thanks for letting us see some great photos.

Thank you!
They are indeed some lovely lanes that are often overlooked by
the various publications that prefer to focus on Wales etc.
Personally I think that is a good thing because they are like a
beautiful little secret and they don't get abused as much as
some other lanes by people who spoil it for everyone else.
Took loads of lovely photos but way too many to put up here.
Hard to wittle them down to favourites!

Nah I like that sticker. Its more a reminder to me than a
statement to others. When I find yet another job needs doing and
I'm into my overdraft I look at that and remember that it's
better than sitting on my arse and I can't take my money with
me.
:gay:
