Is anyone going on the 9th Jan in 2010?

And is it advisible to take your brand new Freelander...?  In case of emergency, break dance.

Yes I will be there - but then I help run these events so I guess that is no suprise

So long as you follow the advice given your Freelander will be fine. All sections that are known to have potentially damaging sections can be avoided and will be pointed out to you prior to entering them. There is always an alternative way around.

If you want more information you can give me a call.

Smashing (or hopefully not!) - I'll have the side bars on by then too, so that'll lessen the worry!

I'll get some tix through the website now All for a good cause and I get to go off-road  In case of emergency, break dance.

Donation recieved. Look forward to seeing you on the 9th.

Can't quite make out where that second picture is taken but the first one is on one of the optional sections which you can avoid

thats the latter part of the optional section i believe

I can't be sure as I along with a couple of others chickened out

CG didn't get stuck though on the first picture, he used his loaf and drove round the ditch

Good day out, just a little bit too far to drive in one day, might have to stay over when i start to off road the new car Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

both in optional section. the only messy part of the standard route was through the gateways near the bothy, not bad though.

cars where fairly clean at the halfway lunch stop , apart from pinkies which managed to collect an ugly lump of metal under the rear towbar

my side tubes have been slightly bowed ever since though (better than bending the rest of the car though)

We met at the cafe last time
