D Group: Forum Member Posts: 44, Visits: 140	We have just returned from a place near Skelwith Bridge in Cumbria (between Ambleside and Coniston) and had to take a chopper out due to road and bridge closures. Enjoy the photos here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/44842012@N02/ The G4 was brilliant but could not cross some of the floods - just way too fast and dangerous waters. We met a chap who lost his Freelander ! - swept downstream whilst crossing a flooded road at Skelwith Bridge. Denys G4 Defender D110 Mongolia Recce - BP07 PCF - was 1932 YbA

Most are already acknowledged by the local services which seems to be the hard bit to achieve.. http://www.4x4response.info/public/publicWrapper.php (I need to run in compatibility view with IE8 for the above site) A Silver G4...
