pepe63xnotuse Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 It's good to hear that they're okay.. I just hope their Unimog isn't too badly damaged(..especially after the army have dragged it back out of the ravine!? 8-) ) ..I *was* looking forward to our upcoming weekend in Cheltenham...but for some reason,after looking at their blog of their travels through South Amerca,I'm now feeling slightly "deflated"... *-) (..Oh well!..at least our vehicle is the right way up,though eh! ;-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tugga Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Crikey, they were so lucky to get out of that ravine! I take it the Unimog is still there or is their insurance company getting that out too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
