4x4 Fun Day update 01/08

[sollihull]

OK,
I know this is posted in the Midlands Section but let's have everyone come!

September 17th (Sunday)
Venue is Aston Cantlow


We are Lucky to be an "Open" Forum, we have Members who Drive Suzukis and Toyotas here as well so this invite is TO EVERYONE!!!!

Aston Cantlow has been described as a Tame 4x4 Site but in retrospect that's Ideal for us 4x4 Newbies to discover the talents of our Vehicles and to the 4x4 Veterans as it's a good excuse to Let their Hair down and get muddy.
This is an Official P&P Site, so no damage happens to Green Lanes, UCRs, Farmers Fields or your Garden!

So, Come on, it's £30 per Vehicle (Regardless of occupants) .

This is Actually A Campsite which is a 10 minute WALK from the P&P Site!
and at £5 a night you can't go wrong

[REMF]

We will be booking the campsite as well, so see you there

Have to be carefull though, need my home comforts so taking the tin tent

No EHU, no chance of cold beer then

[sollihull]

Ok, After careful Consideration owing to Legal Difficulties arising from Alcohol and Fronteras I'm now also booking a pitch at the Site!
at £5 I think I can stretch to it!lol

Maybe have the Social At the Campsite

[Frontera Administrator]

count me in, allthough not to sure if my frontys up to it with standard road tyres, but i'll give it a go.
good experince for a novice like me

[Trugga]

Pete,

The best way to find the limit of your Frontera, on what ever tyres you happen to be on, is at a pay and play site. Having discovered what my Frontera can and cannot do, has given me great confidence when laning and marshalling.

You can purposly try and get stuck, knowing that there will be plenty of volunteers to recover you out.

You'll probably find that your Frontera has bigger gonads than you do.

I'm currently running on worn AT road pattern tyres - what the hey. We'll have a good laugh no doubt.

[sollihull]

Excellent, Glad to have you join us Pete!
I'm also running on Road-Tyres so if I see you get stuck I'll avoid that bit!lol

Nah, you try to keep me out of the Mud! my Fronty seems to steer into it!

But Lawrence is right, unless you push yourself you'll never find the limits to your Fronty and what better place to get stuck than surrounded by Mates and only in a Meadow and not on your own in the middle of nowhere!

[sollihull]

8 Fronteras so far!
1 Landy
1 HiLux

I think we can do a Line-up Pic as well for the Main Site!
Before And After! lol. Let's see how Muddy we can get!

[gotafrontera]

sounds good 2 me lol..

ive started making a shopping list for this and im can already see my bank manager shacking in his boots lol

need tyres as mine are almost bald, longer shocks... err there was more but i cant remember lol.. oh well the tyres and shocks are £400 total
oh recovery rope/strap is a must 4 my self and others lol

[Trugga]

Tip #1

If someone ask you to tow them out, ensure they use their tow rope as this ensures that yours does not get muddy.

Lawrence

[sollihull]

Tip #2

If you Stall in Mud/Water/Slimy Stuff, Do not attempt to Restart! Get a Tow Out First

[rangaKoo]

Damn, this sounds like good fun¬!!

I want to come up, but it's a tad far considering I'd have an early start at work the next day. My working time is not very flexible at the moment until at least December/January, then I'll be back on shifts and have more time off.





But on the bright side, I guess that's when everyone goes out to play right?

[sollihull]

Ranga,

It finishes at 16:00hrs mate, that's plenty of time to drive back!
C'mon.....


Right, after talking to the Mrs, We're going down to the Campsite on the Friday Night! Makes more sense than putting up a 6 berth tent for one night!

[Trugga]

I've just posted some photos of my previous two visits to Aston Cantlow, here

I wonder If we'll have rain.

Lawrence

[sollihull]

Andy,

I'm only round the Corner too but might as well give the Kids a couple of nights away from Home!lol
My Mrs ain't got her License yet, so I'll be staying!

Lawrence...

I can't flaming wait now!
We're supposed to have some Heavy Rain by this weekend but I haven't got my Crystal Ball to see September yet... lol

[Frontera Administrator]

So Steve, your camping from the friday then.?

although im only a few miles away, i think i will pitch on the saturday, give us chance to have a few beers on the saturday night .

likewise, cant wait now

[sollihull]

Pete,

I'll grab the end of the Site in F.O.G. Name!
Me and the Mrs thought it'd be good for the Sprogs
and as Great Alne Ford's a minutes Walk away I can take them Paddling!
The Ford doesn't have much traffic through it!

[Trugga]

You can pencil Sandy and myself in for a Saturday afternoon/evening arrival - two tent pitches please.

Lawrence.

[sollihull]

just thought how many of you have a CB?
i have been trying to justify buying a midland setup but not sure about all the licences and stuff and not to mention having a use for it lol

Luke,
There is no license these days!
I just won my Rig on E-Bay, borrowed a SWR Meter and plug'n'played it!

do you need a deposit at all for the camping?

Andy,
this is 7 of us Camping now but 2 are running over an extra night!
I'm going to see if I can "Block" the last 7-9 pitches in FOGs Good Name, If I can't then I'll pay in Advance!
