Sounds like you guys clearly put a lot of effort into organising these things to make sure everything goes smoothly, much appreciated, looking forward to a fun day out.
 
One thing I aught to say, particularly with regards to T*O*S*S*E*R*S trips, but I am sure it applies to any of the other groups around the country (the SLUTS, SLAPPERS, ****S, etc) is that for legal reasons, these are not "organised events". they may well be "organised" in as much as the lanes have been recce'd and considered suitable for all participants, but it must be up to the individual to decide whether any lane/ford/etc is suitable for their particular vehicle and competence level. No liability can be held against any of the other participants. If you get stuck and yo car is damaged getting it out, thats your problem; although I am sure everyone would attempt not to do that.

Sorry to put a downer on the above. I am sure it will be a good day out, but I feel it out to be made clear.
 
Indeed, I would always expect to take responsibility for my own actions but I know what you're saying, there are unfortunately some people in our society that might look for someone else to blame.

Well guys and gals, we've spent today doing a recce for this trip and have some nice non damaging lanes which will definitely cater for the inexperienced/shiny off roader. ;)

As Ratty indicated in a previous post, we cannot guarantee that shiny paint might gain a light scratch or two - but it's no worse than pulling in to let someone pass on a narrow country lane.

We have found a mix of easy gravel tracks to a couple of byways which may get a Traction Control light (if you have one) coming on!
There are even a couple of big puddles........ :rolleyes:

And before someone drops me in it, yes, I did lose my bearings and yes, we did have a confused period where tank tracks and byways were not where they seemed on the map :eek:

Despite this, I don't think anyone who attends this taster of taking their Landy off road will be disappointed.

Now we know that a lot of peeps have asked for a place on this trip - I'm sorry to ask this but please can those who have done so post again with the following info:
  • What type of Landy you own.
  • Is it standard spec or modified.
  • Whether you have any off road experience .
  • How many peeps are likely to be in the car.
  • Do you have a CB.
Do not worry - This info will help us to put together groups which we hope will be relatively balanced in driver/vehicle capability.

Zan79 took a few piccies, don't worry, newbies won't be doing this unless they choose to - it's just the old hands like to relieve some, er, stress when they see a biiiiiiiiig puddle. :D
