I was very interested to see if you did Nolan's crossing, but that video shows the water was still deep elsewhere.
Been there! I nearly got stuck at the river crossing (water nearly come thru the driver's open window). Great place to visit, enjoy.
I was anxious about water crossings because my RAI is still an ongoing issue with its fit. If my companions were keen I would have gone on, but discretion is the better part of valour. No heroes in my group. And yes, best to drive home!
that's one helluva bath.
Your typography skills are very good and I would suggest the Grenadier corporate designers will be happy but you seem to be spending far too much time on the beach having fun.
We've been to Børsmose Beach. Where did you take your picture?
Looks like someone was getting a bit fed up being asked 'what is it?'
perhaps this was the least of your problems. 
Couldn't agree more re washing, oh well....I try not to let it get too cleanI gave mine it’s first proper wash today since owning it. It’s had a couple of hosedowns to get mud etc off but I’ve not given it a decent tub.
Some observations:
It now looks a little whiter than cream - happy with that.
I’m also looking forward to not having dirt coloured pants around the calves for a little while.
What kind of hell did the designers envisage when they designed this thing? Washing it is hard work - so many cracks and crevices and ladders and external hinges and L tracks and spare wheels etc to work around. How did you ex defender guys do it and stay positive?
With my dodgey knee and not having access to a step ladder, I had no chance of cleaning the middle of roof or the middle of the windscreen. The windscreen is full of old bug carcasses so I’ll need to deal with that properly soon and then give it a dose of RainX.
The wheels have a lot more brake dust that the cruiser used to have. The X3 is the same so it must be a Euro car thing.
Anyway, that’s enough whinging. I suppose I should just go out and get it dirty again so I can get better with more practice.
I use a soapy dustpan brush to clean any non body coloured part. Very efficient.I gave mine it’s first proper wash today since owning it. It’s had a couple of hosedowns to get mud etc off but I’ve not given it a decent tub.

You do get a lot more brake dust these days with synthetic materials used in the pads, lamenting the demise of asbestos.I gave mine it’s first proper wash today since owning it. It’s had a couple of hosedowns to get mud etc off but I’ve not given it a decent tub.

then ease that out as clips at the top. 5 x screws on the actual light fitting and two electrical plugs to pull apart. All very easy and literally 5 mins work to get the light out. I’m not inclined to do any more investigating as the vehicle has to go back to the dealers at some point for replacement or re powder coating if the side steps as the paint has worn off through use on gravel roads. Note newer vehicles have a tougher powder coating on side steps and sliders now.
