Rockcrawling, - Palmy stylez!!

Post by Jafa »

One of our club members managed to get us access to a pile of rocks for 4hrs this morning, they are going into river bank reinforcement on Monday, so this was our only chance!. Had some god fun, flexed the jalopy up a little 8) Heaps of people stopped and gawped, it was great! :lol: This is the first and probably last time there will be any sort of rock crawling in the city centre! :lol:

I've redone the links to the pics, they are now on photobucket, rather than Google Picassa, so everybody should see them a bit easier. I couldn't see them at all on my work pc, so my first attempt at picassa is a fail!, so in the bin it goes :lol: I'll have some vid to upload in a few days time as well 8)
Heres a couple more pics
