We ran a newbie day earlier this year ([linkurl=http://www.fronteraowners.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=32779&start=0&hilit=21st]see here[/linkurl]) near Stevenage and we hope to get another one done very soon (October), but as yet a date has not been set.

I will be speaking to a few members at the [linkurl=http://www.fronteraowners.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=35364]South East Weekend Meet[/linkurl] on 25/26th September and hopefully we will have a date then which we can post up so please keep checking back :wink:
Maybe you could come down to the meet at the end of the month and meet a few of us.
We may do a bit of spontaneous laning in around Maidstone on Saturday evening if there are enough interested at the site during the day (but these lanes will be unchecked for scratchyness :roll: )

Yeah, a newbie laning trip in cambridgeshire/bedfordshire would be great!! I was going to post this question tonight as it happens! :P
Ive found a few around cambridge, checked them for TROs ect and then had a snoop with my mate down a few of them but they are VERY easy and did them all in 2wd without any probs.
So if any1 knows of a few good-uns then put me down on the list!!
