back at the yard

parked up after another good day on the lake

sat waiting to go out on another "mission" Good 'Ole Stolly :-) still needs a few little tweaks (well it IS a stolly afterall)

after a bath

washing off

after winching the stalwart out of the mud i drive it into the lake at speed & get the front of the cab all the way into the water
(9 seconds into the video)

stuck in the mud (NOT BY ME ! )

the green thing in the back is our life boat, NOT to abandon the stolly but to row to shore with a winch cable if needed

three wheels in the mud, well bogged !

winch line out & ready to recover

getting stuck in mud

getting ready to go out again

baz fits a new mirror to replace the one that got ripped off

with the numberplate fitted, Alvis badge attached & Union Jack sticker the stalwart is starting to look a little smarter

dowty jet

nice & clean after a day on the lake

water on the windscreen

a little ripple

a small wake

a Big splash !!

ACE what fun ;-)

Baz on the water

stopping for a break

after swimming for a while we stopped to take a break & check everything over before going back into the water again

pulling out of the water

the best view of a stolly is as it exits the water

turning on the water

once afloat the stolly will turn on a penny

Deano at the controls

"concentrate now fella !"

stolly drives into water
