20/02/22 Land Rover Defender splashes young spectators. As heavy rain and river levels rise, more than sixty spectators turn-out to watch 4X4 drivers splash their vehicles through Rufford Mill Ford, near Newark. Most of the vehicles went through multiple times. Many people, children included, stand on a pedestrian bridge crossing the river Maun, knowing they are likely to be splashed. The crossing has recently been made famous by many YouTube videos showing vans, cars, lorries and motorcycles attempting and sometimes failing to make it through the Nottinghamshire crossing. It is fast becoming a Mecca for off-roaders who like to see how deep their cars can go without spluttering to a halt. Today the crowd cheered when vehicles stalled after flooding their engines with water. All Rights Reserved: F Stop Press Ltd. +44 (0)7765 242650
