Default 1000 Rivers, in France

Well, just been to France with a great bunch of people from England to do the 1000 Rivers event, billed as a drive around, with some interesting sections, this being the 20th anniversary, they changed that to a technical challenge, with some sections needing a winch for 99% of vehicles.
Here are some pictures of the event, will try to get some videos up somewhere.

That sounds like a fun event.
By the way, how old is that bridge in the second picture? That is a beautiful piece of engineering.

The bumpers, sidesteps etc have all been made by me, and the hilift jack mount was a rush job, but worked well, its bolted to 2 of the windscreen bolts, with a 3 sided trat at the bottom to hold the base.
The other advantage is it protects the windscreen and pillar from trees.

The bridge was a railway bridge, no line now, but must be 100-150 years old.

This being the 20th 1000 rivers, we did some of the Trophy sections, which woke us up.

But some of the best views i have ever seen. I am waiting for some pics from the professional, and will upload them.
