2016 was a fun if slow year with Katy the Land Rover. I can't entirely call it quiet as you will read. below
At the start of the year there was definitely a need for some sort outs which I needed some help for. I was working out of the country a lot in january and February so it was not until March when i got started
The first was some electrics which I definitely needed my friend Dave's help with over the course of a couple of excellent days we got the lights and the reversing camera working, but we did have an unexpected result with the lights as you can see in the video
After that it was off to Newport caravans in May for a new skylight and then some work I did myself getting the Radio to work properly and we attended our first show of the year with the SWLRC
Then a real mystery came in when a Geoff Fletcher author of British Military Land Rovers sent me an interesting picture
Katy then became a regular commuter as Rhian's Mini was in for some work in June and July and she definitely got some attention in the BGS car park and in Cheddar gorge
I eventually tracked down that picture and Rhian and I were made welcome by the Scots Guards at the Bourlon Barracks at Catterick camp in August after a trip to Scarborough
Then it was off to Margam with the SWLRC again in September before a year end put away in November because I knew I would be working away a lot again in the run up to the end of the year. This year I invested in an intelligent charger and so far the investment has been worthwhile as it's been very good to have it on and the battery looked after
The final Land Rover event of the year was our trip with the SWLRC to the Land Rover Reborn tour at Solihull
The final event for 2016 came in as a complete surprise when we were listed on getoffroad.com as one of the best Land Rover blogs to read. I need to add that I have not used them as a supplier, but as they have been so nice I am happy to give them a link back
All in all not a bad year for being so busy doing other things, but I do hope to be out and about more often and doing a few more upgrades in 2017
