Kielder Forest April 2013

Had a fantastic couple of days out up in Kielder Forest this weekend, 30 vehicles altogether attended the event organised by Ian Flint (Flinty99 on Disco3) and his team raising valuable funds for the Northumbrian mountain rescue team.
The vehicles were split into two convoys and enjoyed many and varied tracks throughout the day, curtailed a little in places as the Ospreys have arrived up there, so many roads are sealed off to traffic.
Difficult to get photos as I was driving all the time but here is one of me taken by Les, one of the organisers, there are also a number of pics on their facebook pages.
Managed to keep the car in one piece, although the setion where this photo was taken may have taken its toll on the fuel tank bracket, I need to get under for a decent look, otherwise all is well.
Highly recommended day and will be going again later in the year.

Did you manage to keep the front spats attached? I always removed mine for adverse terrain!

Stuck fast, Myself and the other Freelander ducked out of this bit as we didnt have the clearance, although a FL1 made it through by staying on top of the ridges. The Disco was winched out backwards.
