Hi and welcome to the loony zone. I Take it you meant celebrate. What landy have you got and whereabouts in the country are you.

Give it a right good servicing, then take it out and get it muddy!

Hi I am interested in doing some greenlaning and but before I use your company I just have a few questions.
Are you insured to lead groups offroad.?
Are all the routes you drive fully legal and in the event that the group is prosecuted for driving on private land who would be responsible for paying any fines or court costs?
What is the maximum size of group that you take out?
Do you follow the GLASS guidelines when offroading.
Approximately how long does an average day out last for/

Yours truly

[FONT=times new roman, new york, times, serif]Due to the high costs of putting runs on, eg insurance, fuel, vehicle maintenance, paying other leaders, the legal situation on the tracks now the NERC act is in, and on the tracks which is changing all the time, new laws, etc we have decided we will not be doing any greenlaning 4x4 runs in the foreseeable future for anyone we don't know. We will only be doing the odd runs occasionally for friends who have been with us before.[/FONT]

This tells me the guy is a **** who doesn't have any insurance doesn't follow the GLASS code and takes as many people as he can get. regardless of the size of the group.

yer gorra keep yer eyes open on this forum Mr MHM

Touche - Monsieur pussycat!

this is what i sent:

Hi, I was pointed at your site a few weeks ago by a colleague who is looking to arrange a day out for possibly 6-8 vehicles, perhaps sometime during December – just wondered if you’ve got anything planned that we could join in with or if there is anything you could do for us.

Regards,

and a couple of hours later this was his reply:

Yes I could arrange a run for you in Dec, just let me know a date, what kind of a run you fancy and how many vehicles you are thinking of coming with.

Cheers

Keith

tsk tsk!

So have you been out with him ?, have you read the A4 bit of paper he gives all people in the group before hand ?

I've been out with him, least he turns up, and "does what he says on the can" its a good day out and good value.

Not everyone has the time to lurk though forums al week hopeing to find someone to go out with, not all 4x4 clubs go out when suitable for yourself.

Notice your a member of the hull groups, not sure but wasn't some one associtated with groups in that area, a group of 6 of them proscuted for takeing the wrong track some while back.

Please tell us what his paper says....we is all waiting wiv baited breath
