General North Yorkshire Moors and Coast Panda Camp 4x4 - June 2016

[kolza]

Well done Jacob, I know how hard that is!

I advise you to leave aside a good couple of hours to get everyone safely through the rocks

Not decided as yet, others opinions are key in this matter as having fun and safety are first.

Same video just in HD, looks much more better.

I love how at 3.05 you can see Ula's hand gripping the seat fabric (at least I hope it is Ula or you will be in big trouble! )

 

[kolza]

I hope it is Ula )

Correct, that's her hand. This was one of few moments when she actually stopped reading a book.

 

[kolza]

I'm starting to monitor the weather, local rain falls and few small river water levels.


Knowing how quickly weather forecast can change round Coast and Moor I'm still hoping that it will improve.


If water levels will be high / to high, at least two ford crossings (normally less than 1ft) will get dodgy, detour will be placed.


Some of the forest/field lanes will get muddy, tow rope and wellies are welcome.

 

[northernchap]

It wouldn't be us without a bit of force majeure - floods and mud are part of the fun!

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

wellies are welcome.

Ta for the reminder, my one regret from last time

Does he normally have US Army semi-truck on his drive and few other NATO green painted vehicles? If yes, I know where he lives.
btw, how much a pair?

Just watched the video and that hill looks fun. Nice and rocky! Wish I was going but I can't make it as I'm down on the south coast for a different type of hillclimb!

Have fun all anyway! I will try to catch the next one :slayer:

Time flies, so here are with just a few days to go.

We will head on towards Helmsley, Hutton-le-Hole, RR, Commondale and Runswick Bay Camp site. Planned arrival 6-7pm. Sign in, set tup the camp, meet & greet other pandas, put fire on BBQ.


Saturday the 11th - early start at 8:15 am, so people arriving at sat morning please keep that in mind. If you're running late we will be heading South towards Pickering so can meet up there to save you extra miles/time ( next to Pickering Castle at 10am). Head on towards coast through various forest lanes, Coffe/tea break at Moorcock Inn. Get to the cost lanes, continue along towards North, more lanes, back to campsite 6:30-7pm, meal at Royal Hotel in old part of Runswick Bay - start no later than 8pm.


Sunday the 12th - start 9am, number of lanes through the moorland, Head down the South ( via RR or not), finish point close to Kirkbymoorside approx. 2-4pm


Some lanes are weather depending as if it will be muddy some sections can take 10x more time.

I'm open to any questions or suggestions.

It's probably about time for my traditional scrounge fest then eh?

If anyone has any of the following lying around then I will happily exchange them for cash, beer or goodwill:

- flame trap pipe from airbox to rocker cover
- starter motor (mine has started sticking)
- one black wheel dustcap (FIAT logo not Sisley) - any condition, one of mine fell off

 

[kolza]

- flame trap pipe from airbox to rocker cover - no,
- starter motor (mine has started sticking) - give him a good lube on the solenoid body.
- one black wheel dustcap (FIAT logo not Sisley) - any condition, one of mine fell off - yes, mine fell off with the wheel.


I can swap the hub cap for pass side top hinge cover.

Sorry, don't have one of those I'm afraid!

I just found this by aquamarine about the starter, sounds easy enough so I'll give it a go:

What cb channel are we monitoring so can shout some abuse when we get to our campsite or at any pandas we might come across traveling up?

 

[kolza]

Sadly, I don't have CB radio as yet. I'll let others decide. On my watch list budgeted for August.
