Hawkstone Park Punch Hunt 2016... and a WIN! was created by X8GGY
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!

The underdog often starts the fight, and occasionally the upper dog deserves to win - Edgar Watson Howe.
