Another great JOC day out, turned out beautiful in spite of the morning deluge. Thanks as usual to everyone who went and who organised and made it such a good day. Particular mention to the guys from the Hawstone site for great and friendly help and guidance. Hawkstone is a real gem of a site, really slippy on the day but strangely not very muddy, great to drive in the trees ( and into the trees Dan  :rofl: or was it just the wind ) made a real change from quarries and gravel pits, hope this becomes a regular on the calendar  :great:

Woody: WooHoo !! :icon_e_biggrin:.....erm I mean sorry to hear you lost all your photos. Here are the ones I took of you coming out of that hole on section 3, I'll drop them on an email if you like.

 

As ever there is always something to be learned from these outings, so what did we learn from Hawkstone:

a) Mud Terrains really do make a difference

b) Just how good hill descent is on the JK, never used it before but is a really handy thing to have when it's slippy

c) Don't stand on flat wet mossy rocks

 

Cheers and thanks again to all.

Had a top day at Hawkstone on the Sunday, that bit of rain early morning sure made some of the climbs a bit more interesting...

 

Only took a couple of photos of mine, I look forward to another event meet up in the future

Looks a great site

 

Only in a Jeep

 

It really is a great site ! Only now open to Clubs due too many issues with the general "Pay & Play"
