I know this is a long way in advance but…

Following on from the success of our previous forum events, I have now managed to get exclusive use of the forest for a navigation weekend, the weekend of April 21/22nd 2012. (You could not imaging the red tape, risk assessments I have had to fight through to get this sorted). We intend to use routes that are as non-damaging as possible and ideal for all levels of driving experience.

I hope to make this a weekend event which is almost entirely off road, using the private and normally closed tracks of Kielder forest where you get the chance to drive the tracks and get lost and navigate yourself around looking for waypoints and answers to clues on the way.

Like other events I have run in the past, this is a fund raising event for the Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue Team and the cost will be £100 (TBC) which will include 2 days driving in the forest as well as camping on the Friday & /Saturday (and maybe Sunday) evenings . I need to check on Tin Tents but think that should also be ok. Camping will be near the castle which has decent toilet facilities close by but unfortunately no showers.

I have included above a signup which is just for interest and shows no commitment. If enough interest is shown I will make a full signup available.

Many thanks to Martin for allowing me to us the forum to publicise this event.

standard tyres OK

if she will camp how do i keep me beers cold

I think Flinty is struggling getting something sorted for this, some "issues" up at Kielder, will be a great shame if it doesn't happen.

oh well, there is a 4*4 safari on the 31st march up there so might give that a go then  freelander 2 SE black and beige - now sold
