It will be a one day run up to North Chehalis Lake for lunch. This run is classed as "light to medium off-road which will be a great opportunity for those with newer Land Rover vehicles or for those who haven't done too much off-roading and are looking to get some practice. We will also like to have some seasoned veterans who are willing to share their skill & tips and lend a hand to those who may need it along the way.
Let me know as early as possible if you wish to attend, I will be making a list of participants, numbers are limit.

Hi Andy,

Hi Andy, I'll be there with one or two extra passengers if that's ok?

Hi Andy

Sorry for the late cancellation Colin and I are unable to attend we were coming over in his 110 for the event then possibly swinging by Jeremys to pick up a huge parts order for my new Dormobile. But the parts will not be ready so we are not coming.
I was hoping it would all come together parts and a drive and a great lunch.

Hi Victor /Colin,

No worries, thanks for letting us know. We had someone on standby waiting for a spot so all good,

Cheers,
Andy

Good day and the final flat tire got on the tow truck at 8:30. He had a good spare but the locking nut key broke so no getting the tire off. The tow truck removal tools were too small for land rover wheel nuts.

We tried about 12 plugs but could not get the tire to hold air, two bad slits. The 4 friends were fine and had a good time in spite of flat and associated tow charge.

We limped the truck for 5k on the flat and the tire stayed on the rim, it is still on in the picture just a bad angle

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the update, awesome that you stayed until the tow truck arrived, nice job!

Apart from two flat tires the day was a great success, beautiful warm sunshine and lots of keen participants enjoying the adventure. We had 22 Land Rover on the run, some nearly 30 years old and some only 30 days old!

Big Thanks for the Rover-Lander participants for helping the day go smoothly.
Cheers,
Andy
