drove around Clew Bay nr Westport Co Mayo. We just followed the road until it became a track and followed the track until it became a very rutted track. You can just see a couple of the dozens of tiny islands that are clustered together in the bay. I wouldn't have had the guts to drive around these little tracks in any other vehicle !

Gave it a bit of TLC, as it was looking a little bit abused...

A couple of hours later... (I'm sure it would have taken half the time if the dog didn't insist on bringing back every tennis ball within a two mile radius to play fetch!)

Click image to enlarge

Wipers are level, tax disc is level and the poppy on the snorkel is the right way up (although the Land Rover badges on the wheels aren't all facing the same way) Thumbs Up

It's still an absolute tip in the back though.... Quite shocking how much of a mess one muddy labrador can make!

The new wing bits and bumper arrived this morning too, so it'll be looking straight again soon hopefully!

Had the day off, took the family to Longleat safari park. AVOIDED the monkey enclosure Thumbs Up but sat there a wjile and watched them remove some number plates from a hyndai and the seal from a D1 alpine light Big Cry

Saw the Tigers and Lions up close...they must recognise the defenders profile due to the keepers having them and came pretty close.Got lost in the maze for a bit....good work out running around!

Not so much what I did, but more what I'm doing now: sitting in stationary traffic less than a mile from home due to an accident ahead Big Cry Darren

Took it to the polish car wash in the local home base today.

Well impressed only £10 wash and wax & they even when nuts and cleaned all the mud off underneath Thumbs Up

I'll be taking it back there after its next trip off road.

Thanks for the heads up, Russ. Took my wifes' DII there today and they did an excellent job. In fact, I was on my way back with my 110 until a suicidal biker decided to inconvenience me and everybody else on the A322. Darren

that reminds me of the pub quiz question ... what word, spelt exactly the same has 2 different meanings depending on the way you pronounce it ?

Polish and polish ..

Bow and bow... lead and lead.... row and row... the English language is a bit of a sod for that.
