another date I can’t do. Think I’ve only managed to make one event this year and that was Slindon in January.....my VIP discount goes unused!

[Volant165]

Hopefully you used it for your Compass. Cracking deal for club members!

Yesh, it’s a pity the timing wasn’t better. Would have been ideal for the Compass as it was a personal purchase but that was last year so not available. For the Renegade this year would have been a  about a £4500 discount but ended up getting it through the Company on a business contract hire so couldn’t use it

[TimC]

.............have to make up for it next year

[Chrisby]

Great site, as in the picture above I got a little stuck last time in Green Meany.

Think it’s going to be the TJ’s turn for an outing this time

Yep, a good site for getting stuck. I remember having to be pulled out of the mud by Stewart..........and luckily had you and Neal on hand for moral support

And I might even have a photo somewhere

[TimC]

. I’m sure you do Neal!

[Wildjeeper62]

I can't do this one unfortunately I am on night shifts all weekend.

[digger]

Looks fun and not far. . Booked

[Raakhee]

Is it a given that you will get stuck on this site? I mean Green Meany needed help. Can I come play or is my Renegade not up to spec?

Also, when will us silver minions be able to buy tickets, asking for someone else

.. no, as with most sites, as with Tong for example, there are relatively easy bits...hard bits.....and stupid bits where you will get stuck, but only if you're daft enough to have a go ( guilty as charged your honor! ). There is some difficult stuff for sure at Aldermaston, but no worse than Tong or Slindon. It's a small site , but pleasant and if you did Tong then there's no reason you couldn't go along and have a lot of fun. And as with most events, if you don't fancy taking the Renegade on some bits there will be people who'll be only to glad to offer you a drive around the trickier bits as a passenger.

As @TimC mentioned the site has plenty for everyone and will offer something for your Renegade. 

 

I think Green Meany was trying to get stuck if I remember correctly as I think @TimC was too

[Raakhee]

Well, then I will come along for a fun day out. Now to convince the Renegade squad

PS. I'm not above doing stupid stuff too

Yes Neal, I was actually trying to get stuck in order to have an excuse to try out a bit of self recovery practice with the winch.........however I did a really bad job of it, although I did get well and truly stuck I did it in a position where the winch was a) buried in thick clay mud and b) I had nowhere to winch off even if I had the forethought to spool out some cable beforehand so I could reach it, which I didn’t and c) the clay was so heavy I wasn’t going anywhere forwards even with a winch....so not very clever. I’m not sure we could even have had a go at that “rear self recovery with a front mounted winch” technique where I was. ( still need to try that out sometime)

All good fun though

Tony, this was Slindon earlier this year..  I helped a WJ that got stuck on top a hill/ledge .. you came along and then got stuck in the watery hole.

See you there
