    Fancy a Saturday of 4x4 action? Never driven you Jeep off road? Well this could be the day for you! So wether you a beginner or seasoned off roader there is some thing for you all!
     
    Located just outside of Bordon, Hampshire, Slab Common is one of a series of M.O.D training areas around the military town.
     
    The site consists of a large sandy area with free driving, scrub and small woods are also a feature of the area. The northern has more mature trees and depending on the weather may have some challenging mud and water feature. Hot weather means the site will give you sand driving whilst wet weather will challenge all vehicles in the mud. The openness of the site means that road going shiny vehicles will find a lot to safely amuse the family on this site.
     
    Toilet facilities and a burger van is available for snacks. There is plenty of on-site parking.

How does this site compare to Baghsot (excluding the surface), from various YouTube videos it would seem slightly more technical.

Might be a good idea  :icon_lol:,  I thought that if I took the 2.5 hp Briggs and Stratton off the lawn mower and coupled it to the pond pump via some 2" pipe , strap it to a bowser , and I might be able to tow it along  so avoiding a fuel stop  :rofl:

It's a good site ideal for those with road tyres who just want a look see as to what their jeep can do.

 

There are also bits for those who want to get stuck  :glasses:
