The venue was great along with the weather plus I even found some MUD (although I think that might have been a bit of a mistake)  (thanks to TFC for the rescue)
Thanks to TFC and Don for the morning instruction and CoteFarmBoy for the organisation and CY for the original thought....

BTW, Don & myself were chatting later in the day - we both thought that it was a pleasure to work with everyone concerned - organisers and trainee's alike
The atmosphere, attitude and feedback was great! Hopefully everyone in the training group now has more confidence in the vehicle and themselves - some also know the limits TorqTune for Freelander 2 Diesel, Discovery 3 / RR Sport TDV6 & RR Sport TDV8, Defender (TD5 & Puma) - available Now!

Ask gilmorr - I was spotting him past the slopey tree, and he slid the wrong way - I shouted "Don't f***ing move" and he was ashen he escaped in access mode after some head scratching - obvious really  (MX - good suggestion )

A couple more of the steep drop/climb - fair play to whoever gave my mates tuition - you had them down this one in the morning and we goaded them into climbing it in the afternoon

Just to say like above, thanks for a great time people, we had a good blast
Was good to see such a greast turnout too.
Also, glad I took off my steps now
Finally, what impressed me the most, was the grip the D3 has with standard road tyres - don't think I will ever need off-road tyres Stuart - Now in a 5 series M-Sport touring.....not so much 'anywhere' but at least everywhere quicker....
For Sale, fully loaded Burstner S-Class 630TS fully loaded all for £12,250.00....

They're amazing aren't they (presume they're Scorpions?). For such a non-agressive tyre they've got a superb amount of grip. The only reason I wanted MTR's was the stronger sidewalls - seen a lot of sidewall damage from rocks etc. All depends how much you off-road it, I suppose. Tunisia 1 2 3 Power by TorqTune

Didn't get chance to do the whip round yesterday for Martin, thanks for the £20 donated via Richard the marshal (don't know who it was from sorry), will forward on today plus my own contribution.
No pressure but as we all had such a cracking day a small donation for the site upkeep would perhaps be an idea. TDV6 HSE Auto in Arctic Frost - Hers

They look sooooo cool in super extended mode.
By the way who’s that handsome devil in the first pic? Brute force and ignorance, the D3 does the rest.
