Modified Jeeps UK - Jeeps In The Jungle 25th-26th June Hawkstone Park, Shropshire

[TonyandAneta]

Hey guys, it's Tony and Aneta from Modified Jeeps UK.

 

We have organised our first ever Jeep Only event, which will be held on the weekend of 25th-26th June.

 

We have just a few tickets left for this event. Below are some details:

 

The First Ever MJUK Jeep Event

We are super excited to present to you a brand new UK Jeep event, “Jeeps in the Jungle”. The first ever MJUK event exclusively for Jeeps.

 

Two days of off-roading, green laning and camping in picturesque Shropshire.

The off-road site we have chosen for this event is based in the grounds of Hawkstone Park Follies.

 

The site is run by a friendly bunch from Ash4x4 and is used for driver training. There will be three fully qualified members of staff on hand to give advice on basic off-road driving skills (times will be announced at the driver’s briefing). There are three wooded areas at the site. Area 1 and 2 of the site are free to roam, you can follow existing tracks or create your own. Area 3 is a driver training area with man made obstacles to test your Jeep and driving skills. The staff are on hand to carry out recoveries or supervise safe recoveries. The park offers an array of different obstacles, where you can test your Jeep driving skills.

 

Families are welcome, dogs on leads only please. We encourage people to not walk around the 4x4 areas of the site as there will be Jeeps moving around. All the site owners ask is to be careful when observing and keep a safe distance from any recoveries. Dogs must be on lead in the 4x4 areas, please also keep an eye on small children as they can be hard to spot from inside a Jeep.

 

There is a cafe and toilets at the site.

Upon entering the Hawkstone Park Follies grounds proceed in your Jeep through the parking area to the dead end at the bottom of the car park where the event briefing will take place. If there are parking staff at the entrance mention Ash4x4 ‘Jeeps in the Jungle’ 4x4 driving event.

 

Every driver will have to do a failed hill start after the driver’s briefing.

All the best with your event. Sadly, I wont be able to make it there but I am looking forward to watching the video afterwards.

[TimC]

Sounds a great event, wish I could attend. Hope it all goes well. How many Jeeps have you got signed up?

[UKTJ]

Can't make this one as we are seeing Ed Sheeran that Saturday, but hope it goes brilliantly and will keep an eye on your website for future events.

Im afraid this is one that i wished to go to but alas, 1x jeep down and out and the other isnt ready to play yet! Look forward to hearing how it goes and when the next one will be.

Hi, good luck with your event!

My front prop is being retubed at the mo and I don't think I can get her back on the road by then. If I do i will come if you still have a ticket.  ATB.

Ah ha Digger, my front prop also after Tuff Terrains

[TimC]

Actually, to be fair it wasn’t TT that did it, it had been on the way out for a while.

[Stew the Jeep]

Interesting 

[digger]

Ah Tim, me the same I guess.  I had to drive slowly on the road to go to TT and back. After I had fitted the Chrysler axle I had a serious rear vibe which related to prop angles etc and I fitted a  SYE and new prop from Tom Woods- excellent. However I now had a new vibe from the front end at higher road speeds. I thought  this was a maybe a  wheel balance issue or something.  Wrong! I think it was caused by two things , much higher front prop rotational speed due to lower ratio plus I had eliminated the disconnect system which meant the prop was rotating more. These two showed up the bent prop banana (10mm over length) that I probably had already. The car is fine without it but unfortunately would be quite interesting at Hawkstone!

I will ring the reconditioners  tomorrow and see if there's any chance of getting it back in time!

Hope you can get it done in time.  Out of interest, who is doing the work on the prop?

[TimC]

Ah, I know that question wasn’t directed at me but my front prop is being rebuilt by Bailey Morris in St Neots if that’s of any help.

Yes, very much so, thanks.  Just trying to build a list of trusted places for when I need any future work.

No worries, actually you can thank @Jules for that as he was the one recommended them to me.

Oops, sorry for the thread hijack.

I may have a go for fun but I wont compete in it as its not fair as I have a good idea where they normally hide them
