|
|
if anyone is interested my local 4x4 club has booked drumclog for april 29th,30th and 1st may bank hol wk end
we will be going up for fri afternoon and normally come back on sun
price to be confirmed but was £20 a day inc camping last yr normally only paying for 1 day as we're normally let off with fri as we don't get a full day in and pack up on sun morn but if ppl wanted to stay as a few of us have in the past and come back on the mon an extra £20 is payable for the sunday's play
we have been told that if there is enough interest the owner will put a bait van on if wanted
this is a massive site approx 1000 acres with routes to suit everyone and we always have a cracking wk end
the owner normally supplies a big pile of pallets for a bonfire and toilets are also supplied
there's normally about 15+ of us go up so normally a decent turn out and plenty of crack (and beer) _________________ LTM NO.41 |

only 1 week to go..........i no it can be a canny hike for most of our members but for those on the west side it's a simple M6/M74 all the way.....honest it's worth the trip as most other sites will look small compared to this site
would be nice to see a few more troops there helping me fly the flag and showing those landy lot how it's done _________________ LTM NO.41 |

Would honestly like to get up there and fly the "Southern Shandy" flag...but its a 920 mile round trip from this end.....
Trust you'll have a good weekend Col,and that the crack will be nothing less than furious..... _________________ Khotso........... |

had a cracking wk end and a good turn out (about 30 trucks) .....and not too much damage
i only bent and had to remove one of my exhausts....ripped front bumper off frame ripped plastic bash plate off
and put a nice dent in passenger door
all only cosmetic stuff that can easily be sorted so not too bothered....shame it's just too far for most of you's _________________ LTM NO.41 |
