Met up with Captain Chaos, Pirate Storm & Drunkmonkeyboy to check out some possible tracks to use.
Of the 4 we looked at 2 are driveable the other 2 either private or gone
First track was done by me & Drunkmonkeyboy and is good fun, relativly easy but with a few rocky bits to climb up.
Second track was fine until the bit after the ford, then I couldn't get enough traction on the rocks to get up, managed to bend bull bars as I hit the rocks on the edge of the track. Had to reverse back down, during which Captain Chaos managed to bend front of his truck as he dropped into a large dip. Might be possible to do track the other way though.
Crossed back over the ford and followed other part of track with no problem. Drunkmonkeyboy tried to get up a shortcut but failed.
Looked at a couple more tracks but both no go then had to call it a day as Drunkmonkeyboy decided that coolant is better on the road than in the radiator
Day ended with Captain Chaos heading into Looe, Pirate Storm heading home and me following Drunkmonkeyboy back to make sure he made it without overheating
He did
Get home ok that is
