Administrators Volant165 Posted January 7 Administrators Share Posted January 7 Dear all, We are excited to release the information for our first event in 2023 calendar Salisbury Plains! Date: Sunday 29th January Arrival time: 9:30am Get underway: 10am Event Spaces: 12 + 3 leaders (Chrisby, MGomes, Otruk) Tickets: Interest for Salisbury Plains is usually high & tickets are allocated on a first come first serve basis. Please visit the club shop to order your ticket & secure your spot. One ticket per vehicle required & you must be a member of the club (easy to join). Pricing: This is a free of charge JOC event as requested by the plains. We would kindly request if you are attending that you consider making an optional £20 + donation to Myeloma UK in Jim's memory. Vehicle requirements: All participating Jeeps must have: · All terrain OR mud tires · Water protection · Front & rear recovery points Vehicle recommendations: It is advisable to have a snorkel, but this is at your discretion. Please be aware: It is the responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to decide if their Jeep is capable of dealing with the water, mud etc. The JOC team will do our best to ensure nobody gets stuck or has to go through anything that could damage their vehicle, but we can only do so much. This event is subject to the weather. Although a recce has been kindly undertaken by Chris the weather between now & the event may influence whether we are able to go ahead or need to postpone. Routes: 1. Perimeter route 2 groups of up to 5 vehicles will run in opposing directions. This circles the whole of the plains taking in Stonehenge plus the German village, tank graveyard, racecourse & various MoD installations. Currently considered suitable for most Jeeps as there were options to bypass more obstacles & water during the recce. 2. Challenging route For 1 group of up to 5 vehicles & as the name suggests this is a little more challenging. Ideally needs to be driven in a fully off-road Jeep with lift, snorkel etc. Routes will be allocated the day prior to the event once a 2nd site recce has been undertaken. Meeting point: Just south of Everleigh car park & facilities. Co-ordinates to be released asap. Team/ Leaders: Chris B Mrs V MGomes Otruk Thank you so much MGomes & Otruk for your help at this event! We really appreciate it. Huge shout out to Chrisby for your invaluable support arranging this event. Look forward to seeing you all soon! Mrs O & Team JOC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will be helping @MGomes with checking the routes, ie puddle depth and suitability for all vehicles in the convoy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
