I supose that I should have posted a few snaps in this section from the 3 Peaks Challenge the other week. We traveled just over 1,300 miles over a 48 hour period (most within the challenge 24 hours) and I have so say that it was the best vehicle we could have taken. Being a dealer we could have taken a Defender 110 with Expedition rack, right through to a TDV8 Vogue SE Range Rover, hoever in our opinion the D4 HSE gave the best combination of space, economy, comfort and driver aids (Sat Nav, High Beam Assist and Cruise being the most important to us).

Visited the local sports store which is always an high risk venture, ended up with a demo kayak for testing over the weekend. Looking forward to enjoy the fjords in this beautiful weather.

Went to the Haslar Finals (Marathon Canoe Racing) in Worcester. On the river Severn next to the race course.
Three skinny racing boats with competitors delivered. Good day spectating and taking pics. 250 mile round trip, a breeze. What these machines are made for.

Dozy neighbour took his 4 year old twins sledging but couldn't be a  ed to walk a couple of hundred yards along to the top of the hill. So he tried to take his Merc ML all the way, through 2 feet of untouched snow  
So guess who got the call to come and tow him out with the D4? 
So into offroad height, low range and GGS terrain setting and got him moving with not even a spin of the wheels, all that on stock (if new) Scorpion Zeros so I was muchos impressed as was my lazy neighbour. Glad it was quick as it was minus 4 and getting dark.

Gave the car a quick clean today. Still looks as new except a scratch down the rear window where the dog decided he was going to jump in the back whilst the boot was still closed!  Still utterly loving this car, everytime I get in this car I remember just how good it is! Then got a fleet photograph!
