12th December 2004
The 12th of December 2004 was a very well attended day at the quarry.
Conditions were suitably bad, which of course is just what everyone wanted. As
you can from the photos above the day was not without incident. A Land Rover
toppled on its side with no real damage to vehicle or driver was quickly
righted with the aid of two Land Rovers with winches. This rescue was
captured by the camera and can be seen by
clicking here. There was also a very deep
'puddle' in the quarry and as you can see by
clicking here there were one or two
attempts at drowning made by some of the 4x4's.
There was also a birthday to
celebrate on this visit, John Crabtree reached the BIG 40 and decided to
celebrate in style at the quarry.
John "The Winchman" Crabtree, a
newly acquired nickname as he received "amongst other things" a winch for
his 40th Birthday from his wife Lorraine (He spent a considerable part of
the day winching out a lot of stuck vehicles). The party was started at
Whitworth Quarry where Off Road friends from The Green Lane Club & West
Coast 4 x 4 (Off Road Specialist, Gorsey Lane, Banks Nr Southport) met up
for a mud bath. A great day was had by all as you can see from the
photographs. |
