what i would like to do is need to know what i need to do to it to take on a shiney trip. and what other stuff should i be looking at, to take with me.

and a good ear to listen to chaps in the know when out on a trip.. but you sound like a sensible chap (all bar the bighorn bit.. :P :lol: )

a set of half decent mtr's might be a goer too.. :mrgreen:

just put on recovery hooks, grab the stuff as mentioned and go have some fun.. :mrgreen:


and welcome.. 8)
