An Awesome Weekend
As my first off-road experience in my D3 I thought the PNC was epic!
I managed to return from the weekend with my 20" wheels and side steps still attached and it's all thanks to the marshals who talked me and my co-driver through step by step. So a big thanks to AndrewS, Snowy and the rest of the PNC team
These are my highlights:
My slow driving caused a bit of a convoy - sorry to all who got stuck behind!
The road tyres were fine for the event, but the 20" V-Spokes turned my car into a paddle steamer on more than one occasion:

I'm still on a come-down from the adrenalin rush of the rock crawl. I suspected that the D3 might be able to do it, but I would never have thought it possible with either me or my navigator behind the wheel.

Best fun I've had with my clothes on! Thanks to all participants for an awesome weekend!

I couldn't agree more with the previous posters. It was a great weekend and an eye opener to what these vehicles can do. The trim of one of my sidesteps decided to part company with the car, but was found after the driver behind me said he drove over it!

My thanks also to Snowy, AndrewS and all the Marshalls for a great weekend.
