Update

Many thanks for all the deposits received and the great turnout for this event.

I will be sending out your entry passes etc and site directions/rules in early September and will require the balance by September the 10th at the latest. (£20 for those just driving and £45 for those who have booked tuition.)

Could I please ask for all those who have signed up to send me their registration forms so I have your mailing details if you have not yet done so and deposits if not yet paid.

Cheers

Andy

Many thanks for the signup

I now need to request the balance of the event cost to be sent please by Aug 31st if possible?

I am going away for a couple of weeks so can't acknowledge but if I could ask for cheques or paypal for the balance as follows,

Tuition Group - £45

Non Tuition - £20

Upon receipt of the balance I will issue your entry pass, map etc.

Regards

Andy

I have all the payments in now so thanks all.

Packs will be coming out to to you all w/c Sept 10th with entry passes etc.

We need to split into groups on the day with a convoy leader for each, maybe 3 groups of 4/5 (excluding those having tuition who will be with Iain) so I will be looking for volunteers to lead please.

Also, can anyone who has signed for 'no-tuition' but who has never been off road before please drop me a line to ensure you are with someone who knows the site.

Cotefarmboy!!!!! I have got my day pass from the wife and the 2yr old will have to miss uncle Carl at her party....buts needs must!!!

I have signed in for 'with tuition', which may be cautious on my side. Having done three half days at the Landrover experience, am I being a big girl If convoy led am I best going with the simple follow the leader instead???

I will bow to your knowledge and experience of the site up there.

I also have a possible one or two others who may want to go, the RRS who now does not have a rattle now , and his friend who has a Disco 3. They each did a 5hr off road course in the last few weeks so again your advice is sought as to whether they would negotiate the non tuition within a group.

Let me know and really looking forward to day

cheers

Excellent!

It is entirely up to you, the tuition is by LRE and Pro-Trax guys who really know there stuff and is mainly for the morning with free time in the afternoon. If in doubt go for it to brush up your skills.

There are no more spaces for tuition left after you though so if your friends want to come they will have to come and drive, more than welcome of course but they must register here or on Disco 3 by Sept 15th as I am cutting off then so I can sort all the admin etc.

Once you decide which way you want to go I will send details about payment etc.

Carlfraz, I've PM'd you with details about name stickers for Tong If you're friends decide to come, their details would be great also

Qzx372, you also have a PM from a few days ago regarding your names  "CY from DISCO3"

Discovery 3 TDV6 SE

Come on you lot CY and Cotefarmboy been good enough to arrange this little excursion for us, I'm dragging my sorry arse 180 miles to be there in my less than a month old car and talked a pal to get his RRS dirty (omitted to tell him about the dents he will pick up too ) So if you want to go sign up there is plenty of you near Tong, I've seen you on the map!!!!!

I rang the site today and was told there are various circuits to do from a mild green lane for the non experienced to progressively more challenging, up to the how do we get up there

I will hopefully just get a bit muddy and the car too, washes off at the end of the day!!!

So come on for just £35, get a 'pack up' in the cool box, and if you want a tutor its an extra £25, its 10.00-16.00hrs on the 30th Sept - go on live on the edge

Carl,

Glad you were able to get the day pass, I'm sure it'll be a great day !!

If you want to get an overview of what the site (sort of) looks like, put Parkwood's post code into Google Earth, the zoom level is pretty good so can get an idea of the site layout (OK so you don't see the degree of vertical details but it's still interesting, I've done this previously for the quarry drives I've been on ----- sad or what??)

Have you got the power washer arranged for when you get home? Actually one tactic I've heard for cleaning is to go to the local Tesco (or wherever your local carwash is) and do an initial wash there so the excess of cr4p that is removed goes down their drains. My driveway is still showing signs of red clay from my last outing several weeks ago

just an example of a bit of dirt on Flo : http://best4x4xfar.com/gallery/displayimag...mp;pos=228
it took a while before she was clean again

enjoy yourselves out there, if it had been organised a week earlier, I would have tried to attend, being in the Yorkshire Dales 13/09=>25/09 (and that's close enough to come to such an event )

Don't like that clearance (or lack of it!) in the next picture (No. 230), especially when you see the massive clearance under the Defenders in the following pictures.

Our motorway exit slip roads are a bit better built here in the UK.

I'm very envious of you both , but just can't make it . Have a great day and make sure you post some piccys after the event !

After doing my half day experience, I'm itching to do some more - don't envy the cleaning though!

You sad git Avtur!!!!........great idea though for Google Earth I like you thought about the washing of the car at A N Others so thought I'd nip in to Foreby Fore on the way home since his wife did such agood job of his with the Zymol

Could you Imagine 20+ FL2's, Disco's and RRS's turning up covered in all demanding a hand job - sorry hand wash!!! from his wife

Shame you couldn't come Super Koala would have been good to put you in front to show us the way with Flo

I know what you mean, the difference is huge, but Flo didn't touch the ground, so the clearance was big enough (only just, but that's fine by me )
