Did something happen in the afternoon on Sunday that took away everyone's sense of humour? Everyone seems to be getting very touchy on this subject, so I must have missed something. 
Andy did a great job pulling together the event
Marshals and trainers did a great job
All the participants had a great time (including those that had to leave early  )
But when we get home and in front of our computers and we're all at each other's throats because of... what, a few jokes and some offered advice? Sheesh.  mooie koplampen

flinty99, AVE etc. there are likely no pictures of you because I wasn't in your 'grouping' for anything, though I'll have a look through the library of photos I've not uploaded and see if there are any...
Regarding the course itself, it is very clearly divided up into levels. It might look easy as the photos only show certain 'levels' of the course. I don't think anybody ventured into the more difficult sections. Andy and myself touched on some of them in the Defender - some of them were so extreme that even the 1.5" jacked up Defender on enormous MTs couldn't manage it. There is also massive potential for winching exercises in the deeper sections.
So yes a Ford Fiesta could manage some parts whilst your most off-road adapted vehicle would struggle with some... it's just we didn't venture into those parts with our shiny D3s 
Ronp - you were a brave man... Considering you told me you would perhaps have a go at some of the gentle gravelly roads, it was impressive to see you sliding between trees on an upward slope with two wheels dug into ruts...

Couldn't help it Chris.
not fair to sit back and watch everyone else have fun.
I did put a scrub mark on my front wheel when I went down Suicide Hill.
Just going out to wash them and see if there are any more marks.
Also bent my Toobs again.
