DrRobin's Northumberland Jimny

I was slightly concerned when you started following me in BigJimny as I didn't know where I was going and seem to end up on an enduro track.

The second video from BigJimny 2024.

I have been tidying up my photos and videos and realised I never put a video together from BigJimny 2023 at Aldermaston.

So here it is

It's been a long time since I heard a recording of my voice and I have forgotten how squeaky it is! And how Northern I sound too!

I took part in my first off-road trial on Sunday 25th August with the North East 4x4 club at their camping weekend in North Yorkshire.

It was a friendly affair with a small number of 4x4s taking part, mostly Land Rover, but there was a Fiat Panda 4x4 (did amazing well) for some of the stages and of course a Jimny.

I went round clean in every round, so did a Land Rover 90, so it was declared a draw. I was well chuffed to have done so well. The LR 90 got one shunt, other longer vehicles had two shunts and none at all for a Jimny (or Fiat Panda).

The first video is of the stages


The second is the final or run off


I have another trial with the same group on Sunday, but can only make a half day, still it will be good to have another go.

Well done you, thanks for bringing proper glory to the Jimny against such strong competition!

Also, I only noticed your quarry video from spring just now. Great that the quarrymen allow such activities to local people. Looks like a fun time.
