A great, if cold, weekend
Some of us joined the S2C NW area for this laning weekend.
Thanks to the S2C NW group, especially Karin Quarrie and John Cramphorn.
There were some exciting events, including someone who didn't know what the red lever was for

someone overheating due to his electric fan blowing the wrong way

and someone's FWH disengaging constantly which meant he was in 2WD for most of the slippery stuff (not mentioning any names, Steve

)
The Forward Control of John Cramphorn ploughed the way through the snow drifts over some of the lanes, though one of those was too deep even for the FC, so we had to back-track, which meant we arrived back at Skipton well after dark.
As usual, I forgot my camera, so here's a selection from Saturday pinched from Patrick's collection
Snowy lane
Splashing around
Another snowy lane
A bit grey
The Carawagon contingent
Another lane
Yet another one
Lunch break
A wee bit stuck
Conflab to decide if we're going to get stuck
There are some more from Saturday on Patrick's photobook
HERE including a dark video of Steve's 2WD Carawagon being pulled through the snow by the 101 before we abandoned that lane
I'm sure Steve will add some photos from our overnight camp - just me and Steve braved the night on an exposed moor top, though at least my Eberspacher was working and I had gas for the stove, unlike someone else who had neither working and who slept in an unheated Carawagon
Perhaps the snow covering his Carawagon acted as an insulator
More to follow, I'm sure.
Cheers,
Robin.
