Yesterday, my co-driver (read "Winch Bitch"!) Alan and I attended a Punch Hunt down in Hawkstone Park Follies with other members of "Shropshire Lanes" Facebook Group...

Around 20 vehicles, mostly (modded) Land Rovers, a couple of Jeeps and a Samurai...

And... We WON!

Amazed we did as we "only" got 15 out of 20 punches, second place in the modified category went to a Landy father and son team who got 11 punches!, so a resounding win!

Trophy here -



Only bad bit was snapping the front synthetic rope recovering a stricken Disco', ripped his recovery point off first, and then my rope broke on the next pull, but we tied a knot on what was left to the hook, and tightened it and tested it on a tree / strop and carried on...

A win for Team Jimny!

Good effort Dave! It goes to show what a well sorted Jimny can do!
