Mud Wrestling

This weekend saw the truck's first outing doing what it does best. Lots of mud, water, muddy water and gnarlyness (including wet muddy gnarlyness!).  We deployed on a miserable December Saturday night in preparation for the main event on Sunday (Note to those who care: roof tents are for winners).  Under the proficient tutelage of Tom Millward we put the beast through her paces on Salisbury Plain.  The pictures tell the story better than I could, though it suffices to say that we were impressed, not only by our innate skill, but by what these 4-wheel-drive machines can do. Final score: Tom 1 (despite getting the truck stuck twice), Phil 1, Tim DNS. However, at the end of the day, off-roading was the real winner.
