Barbara and I spent the weekend doing the coast to coast via minor roads/green lanes with Yorkshire Offroad Club. A route had been published in LRO a few months ago but a club member decided to do his own version. Was a cracking weekend.

We took our red 110 as it was easier to take off the demo roof tent then taking the one off the Puma. It was a good choice as some of the lanes were a wee bit scratchy. Route took us from St Bees, overnight stop at Middleton in Tees and then on to Robin Hoods Bay via some good lanes. Barbara and I spent an extra night over at RHB and come back home via some more lanes and an ice cream stop in Helmsley

Did you record the route with memory map?

I would like a copy very much if that is possible.


Andy



Barbara was running memory map. She thinks that she might be able to send you a copy. PM your private email address and we will see what we can do. No promises as it will be the first time we will try to send a copy of memory map.

Barbara was very pleased with the iPad mount we used. A Ram flex arm fastened to seat mounting bolt. On smooth roads absolutely fine, on green lanes it was generally quite steady, OK hit a pothole and there were some vibrations but Barbara thought it was very useful, mount arm not intruding into her leg space and any vibrations acceptable level. Overall a hit with her and we will be stocking them for sale.

Repalced the drivers side seat foam back after only 35k miles. Not as easy to do as the Exmoor Trim video made out as the XS half leather seats are slightly different to the ones they filmed for the video.

Not difficult to do, but fiddly. Those flippin circular rings! Still, at least I could listen to England thrashing India at the same time! After about 2.5 hours and much sweat and several wickets it's all nicely back together and very snug indeed.

Ireland 2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 CSW Stornoway Grey
my boosts/BFGs, side steps and cubby box were delivered today. Well done Paddocks - 100% efficient. Now all I need is a Defender to fit them on Embarassed

Should be collecting the truck tomorrow week. Just looking at the wheels in the shed they look eerily massive - like tractor tyres !

Just one concern. The cubby box looks fantastic with cavernous space - you certainly wouldn't need a glove compartment. Its more like a bin than a storage box. BUT... Its 27cm wide. Something tells me that it could be too wide to fit between the seat belt attatchments of a Puma. The Mantec one is only 24cm wide. I would be grateful if someone in the know could confirm whether it will fit or not. Fingers crossed Confused

A quick measure of my standard cubby box reveals it's approx 27cms wide. The actual gap between the seats and seatbelt buckles is roughly 30 cms, the gap between the seat squabs is approx 36 cms. Steve.

Given up shouting Greeni, goes in one ear and out the other.

I have a letter waiting to go the Exec Office at LR, I have the name of somebody high up who I have dealt with in the past Thumbs Up

Also spoke to a relative last night, who just heppens to be a Barister, and he is going to have a look to see what action I can take against the dealer, if any.

Went shooting. Scored 86/100 at 50m off my elbows. Here's hoping it's enough to clinch the title!
