Where at. I'm in the North East and would love to try some off-roading. Very nervous about it though. If it wasn't too far from home...and on a Sunday, then I'd be up for it. :D

i would like to run a pure newbie day, BUT if there is enough interest, we can run a group with a bit more tech involved,

but for the moment, it will be newbies only, something light and gentle, more for me that them, (test out truck)

Once we have a date and Andy has sorted the groups I will get a full "To Do " list.

One thing though strong recovery points will be needed but its unlikely anyone will need recovering on the lanes we are going on, but saying that if there has been heavy rain and some guys are on road tyres it could be a possibility :wink:

we can use the wayfarer up to the top from one side then go back down the same way, or we can avoid this all together
