Re: Anton's build
Laning with Donkeychomp:
We were careful to make absolutely sure we were only on proper byways.
Good day out! Spent the vast majority of our time searching for lanes, because neither of us can read a damned OS map to save our lives (a couple of times we ended up going in circles looking for a lane, and there were "byways" on the OS map that were actually full, tarmac roads! Brand new OS map!) Some gorgeous views, I didn't really do much photography though. Didn't take a decent camera, but I did like this shot.
I do have a vid I'll upload to metube or whatever it's called later. It's not great (I don't have a camera mount so I put the camera in a nook in the middle of my dash and it kept trying to wander off) but it's not terrible either. My camera has optical image stabilisation, and that helped iron out some of the weirdness of not having it mounted properly...
You can see for yourselves tomorrow!

Re: Anton's build
We'll start a thread or something next time we're about to have a day out, maybe you can jump aboard. Try to keep your vehicle from falling apart if you're ahead of me though, my SJ seems to be allergic to LR parts.

Yeah we are certainly doing that again and soon. But winter would be a hoot!
