John Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 I've voted Yes. i.e. count me in. Sandwiges , tea n biscuits :icon_mrgreen: Oh and to make sure you have access to recovery points ... I.e. If you have a screw in type eye that goes in the bumper maybe put it in the front door pocket so it's easy to get at if needed and maybe a recovery strop n shackle ... But if it's any body's first time out then I wouldn't worry too much .. It's quite a small site so there will be plenty of people to help you out if you get in to any difficulty :great: In the past it's normally a follow the leader type effort and you tend to team up with people to drive around with :icon_flower: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member jeepjimboy Posted February 5, 2016 Platinum Member Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi John, we'll be in the F o D in a couple of weeks time for a few days, doubt we'll be able to do a May visit though, but we'll take a look at the venue :icon_e_wink: We'll keep an eye open for a Wrangler wave with you.

Platinum Member Oddball Posted February 6, 2016 Platinum Member Share Posted February 6, 2016 Afternoon I'm thinking of putting togeather a Saturday ( 21st ) may 2016 at whitecliff quarry coleford nr Gloucester . The site is used as a training facility , it's a small 40 acre site but does have some interesting teconal bits :icon_cool: It's an ideal site for newbies to learn there vechiels & to learn different off rd technics .. This is a tester post to see if there would be any interest ? To cover the cost of the site , toilet hire , insurance etc the club would need 25 jeeps @ £30 per jeep :icon_rolleyes: If you think you would genuinely be i genuinely interested could you please post so we can grasp an idea of numbers to see if it's a runner :great: Big kisses john http://whitecliff4x4.co.uk/about/ hear is a link to the site , there don't seem to be many pictures :icon_rolleyes: but an idea of what they do :great: Ps this is also a bit of a scoop because they don't hire the site out to clubs ... But I've managed to get it for us next year :icon_mrgreen: If you need a hand John I am reasonably local so could come over the evening before / early doors on the day to help. Also happy to help with any admin necessary. Chief Cable Tie Engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks oddball I will keep you in mind :great: Looking at the responce so far I think it could be a runner as an event :icon_flower: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member TazMann Posted February 7, 2016 Platinum Member Share Posted February 7, 2016 Does anyone know if this is a dog friendly venue? Still up for the day out with like minded peeps, just easier if I am able to bring the two dogs with me. Either way I will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still up for the day out with like minded peeps, just easier if I am able to bring the two dogs with me. Either way I will be there. I have seen dogs there before ... Just keep in mind it's a small quarry full of jeeps .. If it rains it will be a little muddy , so there wouldn't be a lot of scope for them to run around ... But on a lead they should be fine I should think . I do consider this a social event .. With lots of stopping and talking jeep & techniques .... So they might make a nice change to the conversation :icon_flower: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Oddball Posted February 7, 2016 Platinum Member Share Posted February 7, 2016 If bringing dogs, you can run them stock but a 2 inch leg extension kit is recommended... Chief Cable Tie Engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Siberian Huskies and they like to operate around 1-2 miles from their owners who have now run around frantic trying to get the buggers back.....
