Jeep Owners Club M.O.D D1 Bagshot Training area Saturday 19th July STILL SPACE!

[PTE993]

Thank you!  We have done some light off roading in the past but not for a while and this'll be the first time with the Jeep.  We've only got AT's on but I hope that'll be OK.

I'd be interested in a more advanced course....with a certificate. They do a professional course, but that's probably too much. Something HSE might approve....

Hi guys,

 

Another newbie to the club and 4x4's.

Bought my first jeep a couple of weeks ago and just got it through its MOT. I'd like to bring the family to Bagshot on Saturday to have a go. Never done anything like it before but sounds like fun.

 

Regards,

 

Phil.

Hi Phil,

This site is the ideal place to try out your Jeep and learn just what you and it are capable of , , I think you will be pleasantly surprised not to say Impressed even ,  :great: :great:

Bagshot was my first session off road, my XJ was pretty much stock with AT'S and was fine.

[stewart]

This site has been chosen with beginner in mind ! So any stock Jeep can attend ! But there are plenty of opportunities for the more confident to go off and get stuck!!

 

New drivers will be taken round in small groups on the safest parts of the site! But if you are totally new then JOC recommends the driver training for beginners not essential but worth thinking about! 2 afternoon spaces left at £80 ! Best way to be thought some basics by a LATRA instructor !

 

Will be a great day for sure my fist outing was in a standard Wrangler with standard tyres ! Plenty of fun in this form too but then .....  :glasses: things get more challenging hence modifications  :icon_e_biggrin:

[Chrisby]

And there's me think you both wanted to buy a old Chevrolet/ Daewoo Lantra :rolf:

Areas of heavy, thundery showers may develop over England and Wales from early on Saturday before moving northwards during the day. The development of these is uncertain but where they do form some torrential downpours are possible with frequent lightning, hail and locally strong gusts. Significant flooding is possible where these do occur from surface water as well as small, fast responding watercourses. The frequent lightning, hail and strong gusts could also be an additional hazard.

:icon_rolleyes: Typical Met Office over reaction to the threat of a drop of rain. Should be entertaining watching the JK drivers driving with their brollies up inside the car  :icon_lol:

[stewart]

Should dampen the place down nicely ! Don't want it all dusty do we!

[UKJeeper]

I would have thought the JK owners would have footmen to hold the brollies...

[markyuk]

A quick question.......... is there anything like a picnic/play area for family anywhere there? Just trying to figure out whether the wife and daughters will be joining me :) (but looking at the weather forecast decision may already be made lol)

Mark,

 

Not specifically, but the site is close to some other venues that the family might enjoy while your offroad.

 

Both of these are about 10 mins away up the A322

 

Does depend on the age of your kids.

Hi Marky,

No there is no specific picnic / play area as such you could find an area just off the car parking area which is pretty large for picnicking , the site is quite wooded so little ones could maybe kept occupied there are footpaths through the site and the drivers are made aware of the presence of walkers ,

[mark]

Also think that it is only fair to warn anyone coming with wives , children etc that the toilet facilities are very basic ( a couple of portaloos)  , I would advise bringing a loo roll  and or some wet wipes purely as a precaution unless things have changed since I last attended an event here.

Is Anyone camping on the Saturday night ?

[Chrisby]

We're planning on camping Saturday night, looking at the weather should be an interesting one. I have a 4.5m event shelter dome, wasn't going to bring it but could if it might help keep the evening/ morning festivities dry for a group. Would need a hand pitching it though, Charlie's lacking in the height department'

Just to remind everyone it's not a 5star campsite! It is more wild style with portaloo ™ onsite so bring water along please! and other cooking stuff ! There will be a refreshments van onsite for bacon butties etc.. Saturday AM for the rest of weekend.
