DSL, have you accounted for the weight of waterproofs, brollies & snorkel. With the weather forecast for the next few days you will need these as well. For details on the next Kielder Safari click visit the Kielder Safari website

That was in the 15kgs each!! They'll only need one set of cloths, if a long stay they may be ripe but they'll be dry. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Don't forget rear tyres up to 42 psi. 750kgs payload is from memory, worth you checking the handbook & adding up the weights. Even if at the max the D3 makes light work of it but obviously handling will be like an oil tanker. Just make sure you have capacity for the beer!! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

tyre pressures adjusted,i'm a mechanic now Wink
1500 miles of tread left on front tyres + fatboy up front should be ok.I might even give the Camskill boys a shout while the Disco rests in Whitehaven Thumbs Up
