Kirkynut's Jimny (aka Daddy's Tractor) - The Evolution continues...

It really was a good day. I found it quite relaxing.

If I get stuck on my front arms once and the diff is clear they'll be going in favour of Jimnybits front arms. If the diff is proper stuck too so be it. These arms are shaped like ski's but if they are too low, they are too low. It's not been an issue yet though and remains a "what if?" scenario.

Tall and skinny eh Gary! They'll be good at cutting through mud to the hard ground underneath but tall to give clearance under ze diffs. I don't know I'd want to go that big as my 29.75" 215/80/15 Malatestas seem to make it hard work on motorways and dual carriageways. This is with a Rocklobster. I think I have the balance just right at the moment. You seem to be happy mind.

The bunker you found is an ROC (Royal Observer Corp) Monitoring Post and there's lots of them about!

It's interesting stuff eh!

There's an Operating Base from the Auxiliary Units of the 2nd World War near to me that I roughly know where it is for it to be re discovered but I suspect it's collapsed as I think I've found an area of sunken ground where it's thought to have been.

See this website : www.coleshillhouse.com/bunkers.php

I got in contact with this group and their specialist explained to me that I would need a £600 metal detector and there may be legal implications for metal detecting on private ground. I've not done a Land Registry search because I don't intend to buy the metal detector.

I've searched for clues to suggest where it is without needing a metal detector but there's nothing.

That bunker is about 20min away from me and I never new it was there. Next trip out I think I will go and explore my self. Thanks for the grid reference.

No probs mate, I can give you it converted to Lat & Long for a normal sat nav if you want. Pm me for it if so. It's located in the corner of a field just off a road where it meets the byway. We left the vehicles on the byway as it was unlikely anyone would come along it in the few minutes we took and you're right by them if they do.

It's all good fun!

I popped out with the Jimny and my camera today as the Mrs was working and I elected to have the Bank Holidays off.

Nothing off-road, just had a play with some settings and some ND filters, hence some of them are a bit grainy as I had to whack up the ISO.

Anyway, here's some of the results:
