During my afternoon out today I came across one of these up on the southern edge of Ilkley Moor.

I was following the old road over the Moor.

Photos in 'Yorkshire Scenes. 9' & 'My Discovery' (1 & 2)

I thought about asking him for a go..

We have an Argocat at Langdale (and a Supacat also).  They are great fun, especially the skid steering.  :D

I think that's the only thing that let's them down.  Ground clearance is practically none existent.
