Jules Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 First of all I would like to thank Stewart, Jim and Chris for checking the majority of the routes prior to the Saturday night run and Sunday trip. Secondly to the members, who without the attendance we would not have an event. Once again I had a great time on the Plains. The conditions at times were trying to say the least under the tyres, but all coped admirably. Some of the puddles were a little deeper than anticipated and some Jeeps went home "two tone". Bonnet and roof! Thanks to all who attended. Of course, group three were by far the best group and our detour to avoid the A303 traffic was memorable past the pig farm!

Platinum Member fen01 Posted January 8, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 8, 2017 Thanks for great two days all.... Jules, your no right turn policy was a great decision.

Platinum Member JustJeeepin Posted January 8, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 8, 2017 Big thank you to all who arranged this weekend and for making the foundation of a great weekend offroading for Alfie and I... some great pics were taken. Here's one from today, taken of our Jeep by Alfie, aged 8. He's got a good eye i think... particularly as this was his first experience with this camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like you had a great time at Salisbury Plains by the state of the Jeep :great:. and you are local to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member JustJeeepin Posted January 9, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 I know exactly which Hilux you are... you were the only one I saw on the trip home... so yes it was me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member JustJeeepin Posted January 9, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 I asked Stuart to be my depth meter... instead he became my depth charge and very lucky not to get stuck in the process.... I'm so glad I didn't take the plunge as it would've definitely ended up with water in my engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member TimC Posted January 9, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 Many thanks to Stewart, Jim , Chris and Jules for organising another great JOC event! Had a brilliant weekend, good fun and good to see and chat to a great bunch of Jeepers. Thanks to Jules ( and navigator ! ) for a sterling job leading out group 3 on day two..........blazing our own trail :mdr: :mdr: , and for help mopping out the air intake ( should've taken more notice of my depth gauge eh Aled ! great pics btw ). Definitely a highlight on the calendar this one. Have had to take today off work to clean the Jeep, inside is almost as bad as outside !

Platinum Member JustJeeepin Posted January 9, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 two things are important when offroading... traction and ground clearance... and clearly this little Jeep had sufficient of both to go much further than i think almost everyone expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member chrisproalfa Posted January 9, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks for organising a great event and being so welcoming to us new members, finally getting to see what the renegades capable of! It's looking a lot cleaner this afternoon Can't wait for the next event! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Incredible to see what any of the Jeeps are capable of achieving. What makes it so interesting is that almost each Jeep is different in some way or another. No driver drives the same line so each obstacle is "attacked" differently. Some amazing pictures of another great JOC event. Remember: "Only" the Jeep Owners Club offers you this and so much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member fen01 Posted January 9, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 some more pics of the day. Sadly I spent most of the looking at the rear end of a cow..... And, as the map 'broke' cough, cough, never got see many of the other groups...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Palmer Posted January 9, 2017 Platinum Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks so much to the team leaders for all the help and special care over the weekend! They lent their equipment, pulled us out the mud and passed on tips & advice throughout. Just perfect - cheers guys. Made some new friends too - what a great club - gets better all the time! Brought most of the Plains home with us on the Jeep it seems but just about clean again now. See you all soon, Phill & Sandra. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
