Then I think I'm off to get the BWSOW out of storage & give it a pull round to make sure everythings okay before the Easter trip to Windermere


Hey Richard that looks a cracking site to spend a weekend. If you had posted that a few weeks ago might of been tempted and got away for a few days. Me I'm off from the 23rd to the 30th but Jaynes working  :( .

One for the future though  :wink:


Sorry Andy, we could have gone up together?

I'd even let you use my air-con if it got too hot, & the external shower :lol:  :lol: (well, Jayne could  :wink: )

If you're fancying 'up there' (a bit easier access for you, it takes almost an hour to get as far as Bingley for me - even solo)
This one is much better - scenically speaking

A better location map

Returning to topic (after a bit of a 'Hi-jacking)

I was on the school-run this morning & I saw the 'T' plated 50th Discovery again that I mentioned having seen on December 2nd.
The plate was; 'T582 ... ( I think)

There was also the Freelander 50th a few doors up again as well at dinnertime.

Saw a 50th Discovery on the front at Filey (Foreshore Road) yesterday afternoon, but by the time we'd parked up & I walked back to where it was, it had departed, so no photo.

I believe I saw the same one today on the A64 near East Heslerton, but travelling in the opposite direction.

Didn't wave as I was driving the Mondeo.

'White Gold' was the other colour offered, but not very well taken up at all.
It wasn't available on the Defender 90-V8, or Range Rover - it was possibly available on the FreeLander?

I went to the Leeds & District Traction Engine Club at the 'National Coal Mining Museum' (at Wakefield) this morning.
On my way home I saw a Ferguson TE20 for sale at the side of the road. So I turned around to have a look.

As I was reversing into a field entrance to park up by it, I saw a 50th Discovery in my mirrors.
So having looked at the TE20 (£500 ono)  I started talking to the chap with the Discovery.
He's had it about 5 years & apart from the rear wheelarches starting to corrode badly he's happy with it.
Like me he feels that the fancy paint is too soft & scratches easily (must be the blue colouration in it :lol:  :lol:  

To top it all, just as I was coming into Westgate to re-enter the city-centre, there was a 50th Freelander parked!

Another 50th Discovery found this morning.
I'd been to the Huddersfield Land Rover Centre to look at 2 110CSW's (very nice)

Then decided to come back a way I haven't been for a few years, & there it was..

50th Defender spotted this morning at the main-dealer in Wakefield (Guy Salmon)
it's fairly well kitted out, might be there for a service?, might belong to a staff member?
I'll visit again another day & see.

After all there's a guy at the Vauxhall dealer in Wakefield with a (genuine) Camel 130. He helped with the 110 Workshop in 'LRO' a fcouple of months ago

This is getting to be a common occurrance.
Whilst entering the streets where 'small-childs' scholl is located, I spotted another 50th.
This was one of the commoner FreeLanders though
