Il probably be bringing my 11yo boy and maybe my youngest daughter. I haven’t been able to bring him anywhere due to his soccer which has just finished up

That would be awesome Mick!.... I haven't brought my son out for ages, as he doesn't like to go without any other kids with similar age..... let's do it!
How old is your daughter?.... I may as well bring my 7yo daughter too.

Yeah my son is the same. He’s bored unless there’s other kids. He doesn’t care much for being a passenger in a 4x4. Not sure why haha.
My daughter just turned 7 this week so she should be keen to come along to.

I'd bring Sebby but 15 months old might be still too young for camping. Need to test him on somewhere just the one night away.

WITHDRAWN from Trip - Reason: I have had a massive increase in work load lately and had no time to get the car ready, it's overdue for a full service so not willing to head out and risk issues. Have a great weekend everyone

How was the weekend? Hope you all had a ball !!!
I am glad I pulled the pin, after a lot of trips and to long between services I finally got onto it over the long weekend. All new oils and filters, greased and checked everything. Diff oils well over due and a bit sludgy, front wheel bearings very loose, one uni joint replaced but the big one, a totally collapsed carrier bearing in the left front swivel hub and about 30mm movement in the hub. I wondered why the car didn't feel quite right...
