Well, what can you possibly say about the LRO Spring
Adventure? You could say that the weather was awful and we didn’t
win any prizes – BUT YOU’D BE WRONG! The weather was
fantastic the whole weekend with many a tender red face by the end
of it. There were one or two beetroots by Sunday afternoon (you
know who you are!). I’ll get to the detail that one or two
might not want shared in a moment, but before that I must tell you
about the other clubs. Land Rover were represented in many forms
from the Freelander club, the Camel Trophy club, the Series 1 clubs,
the Discovery club, the 101 club and there was even a contingency
of Range Rovers called the Range Rover Register. Not an easy club
to join that one, you can’t just own a Range Rover –
you have to own a Ken Dodd feather duster and have a serious desire
to dust your vehicle all day long in a sand storm (I think they
train in the Sahara!). There was even a group of other Military
Vehicles though you hardly noticed them because we totally dominated
the event! We won Best Club stand, which afforded us a smashing
trophy (to be melted down and sold as gold ingots) and a cheque
for £150, of which £75 will go to the Army Benevolent
Fund and £75 to the club. So a huge well done to every one
who took part (12 vehicles in all) and made the stand look spectacular!
We must have had about 500 square miles of cam net up. A big well
done to Steve and Sharon for managing to tow an Ambulance with a
109 with only one or two minor incidents!
