Out & About. Sunday 8th January

<< < (2/3) > >>

Rich_P:
Having just looked at those "problem" topics, it looks like your Land Rover has a mind of its own, like they always do.  Give it time, it's just getting used to you... (oh, and the fuel gauge, it's a LR, so you'll most likely struggle to get that working right!  :P )  :lol:

No, I don't like it when things don't work how they should.


Off next weekend, so perhaps out again?
I'm thinking;
Whitby??
Windermere/Grasmere/Keswick??? (necessitates an early departure)
Richmond??
Otley (Chevin) & Ilkley? (via Wharfe-View Cafe & the bridge)

I've got used to it somewhat now.  I used to get a little irritated when things on the Merc didn't work as they should...

...but since I got the Land Rover, I've had to get used to it quite quickly.  The fuel gauge on my 2A seems to drop at points and then stop.  It goes like, full, then it will suddenly drop to 3/4 full, more driving/running, then it suddenly drops to 1/2, and then 1/4, and then drops quickly to empty.  :shock:
At least I'm thankful that I havn't got the older type of fuel gauge for a Series, as the needle in them like to bounce around on every little bump and jolt, so you must stop the vehicle if you want to get a decently accurate reading. (if getting an accurate reading is even possible in a LR :roll: )

TimM:
I used to live in Lincolnshire and regulary went out to Nonna Nook when it was being used regularly as a bombing range, they used to test the American A10's out there, using both 'bombs' and the gattling gun's on the front (they made a good show and noise!).

If you ever head that way again, let me know (especially if you take small child) as about a mile or so inland from there is the home of Applebys Farm Ices:

The Appleby family have been making ice cream at their farmhouse factory since 1913, with the recipe being handed down through three generations. You can enjoy a hot or cold meal, try one of the fifteen available flavours of ice creams and sorbets, or simply sit and sip a cappuccino whilst enjoying the landscaped view.

I used to head there first, sit and enjoy an ice-cream and watch for the planes heading over, then jump in the car and head down to the dunes to watch.

We passed the Applebys, but didn't realise what it was, we thought it was just a cafe & bakery.

Far too cold for ice-cream that day, now if it had been (hot) Chicken Soup flavour................
