It was quite a surprise when out of the blue Mark one Tuesday said “I’m holiday this week could you take me on an off-road trip”. As I had offered to take him several times before, I could hardly refuse. I quickly called around all the usual suspects to find out who was available. With exception of Jamie everybody else was not available at such short notice. I then started frantically e-mailing to try and find accommodation for 3. In the end I found two locations offering B&B for the Thursday night. I settled on the Abbey Grange Hotel in Llangollen. I arranged to meet Mark and Jamie at 9 o’clock on the Thursday Morning. here was no time to even put decent tyres on the 3 door Discovery. I had loaded up the car with 2 Hi-lift jacks and a selection of wooden chocks, strops, shackles, chains and ropes. The car is pretty much bog standard and is a basic model, it’s even got manual windows.
