It's not so tricky, but a good indicator of some of the capabilities for the defender. Watch out for anything only bolted on as I have heard gipsy's come with a toolbag and shed the weight of your heavy defender for you. They even take away all the heavy parts that they have relieved you of FOC! Very kind of them

It's such a shame they get so much bad press when they are this helpful!!! You can't knock them for trying to 'up' their image.
I just received a letter at work from our Halton(I've got too much bl..dy money) Borough Council who are happy to inform us that they are considering a permanent Travellers site providing 12 pitches, inc 12 Hard Standings, 12 Single Storey "LUXURY" Amenity Buildings with Timber Boundary Fencing to all pitches, their own access road WITH Speed Bumps, Street Lighting, Water, Gas AND Electricity.
They do say, which is very nice of them, that if we object they will post our objection letters for ALL to see!!!!

I have heard stories like these, though all the years we have been going I suppose we have been lucky and nothing has ever happened
We have been on the off road course loads of times and always the kids love it, we particularly like the water splash and mud run, especially when ever anything Japanese gets into a pickle, there is always a bit of jeering from the crowds watching, though always in good fun though
