Great British Land Rover Show 2024

The Great British Land Rover Show 2024 provided an excellent opportunity for a trip over to Cheddar to visit my uncle where I was invited to stay over for the night. Unfortunately his drive is on a bit of a slope so not the best place for sleeping

Luckily he also has a very comfortable spare room and I was able to stay there instead

The next morning Katy and I took a drive up a very quiet Cheddar Gorge which looks a lot better on a sunny day than it did for us.

Onward to the show and the sun did come out for a very pleasant weekend camping with the team. This was us setting up on the Friday

And by the Saturday the sun was fully out so it was time for a few beers and a wander around to look at everyone else's vehicles whilst our stand and vehicles basked in the sunshine

 

Defender Day at Eastnor

Well what a wonderful day with Liz and Huw Gulliver and Rhian Kendall where https://www.facebook.com/landroverexperienceeastnor kindly let me drive this £££ car over some very muddy and steep terrane Many thanks to Bron Harty and Stratstone Land Rover for the prize at the Welsh Festival of Land Rovers 2023 and gift that let us have such a nice day out. 

No vehicles were harmed in our adventures and my old 127 Ambulance got quite some interest in the car park

It's a totally different way of driving compared to the old Defenders, but the instructors were complimentary that we all knew how to drive off road

What they let us play with were these Hybrid vehicles. The electric parts does make an automatic a lot nicer to drive 

There was mud and wildlife

We were Off-Road honestly 

Waiting for the less capable model. We then took a steeper track 

Enjoying the view 

Getting back to the mud

Mid you we still had the best car in the car park :) 

But the new ones do look impressive when posing don't they :)
