BOFA4x4 8 countries in 8 Days Rally- Sept 13th-19th

Postby Bill on Tue Jan 22, 2008 2:04 pm

As it says above.
September 13th - 19th
I am running an all Marques rally in assosiation with the LandyRally.
8 Countries in 8 Days in September.
http://www.bofa4x4.co.uk has more details, links etc.
http://www.landyrally.com is the main site.

The reason that I am 'runnin alongside it is that I know many non landy 4x4 owners like yerselves, who would love an event like this.
Also, tis one of the few events that children are allowed.

It is for charity and would be good to maybe see some of you on the run.

any questions then just ask.
The main site is being updated as this only took off in the last 2 weeks.

Ill post some fotos soon.

Cheers troops

Taken from a member on the BOFA4x4 Forum.

the first off-road we did was valdisare (cant spell it to save my life :lol: )
it was second to none, wasnt the toughest off road but it has something for every one from very steep inclines to very very very underwear killing side tilts, i bottled out of the biggest one we did :oops: anyway enough of me talking the pictures do the describing .....oh and the bbq was very very tasty

Image
Image
Image
oh and if you have never done a vehcile see saw before give it a go it feels really wierd
Image

and no matter what dont miss out the pyrennees mountain tracks, because wow they are spectacular....
Image
Image
theres many pyrenees tracks such as the forest driving section on the way to andoora, it was drak by the time we reached them there was a convoy of about 12 of us in the dark it was brilliant, there was lots and lots and lots of tracks that you have the choice of doing in the second half of the week.

i could talk all year about it but probly not wise as i have an exam tomorrow,

hope these pictures have helped you

That looks spectacular.

By the time I'm finished with the beast it could well do with a trip like that (me too.) Just dunno if I could get it done by then.

Just like to point out the title of this thread is a tad misleading. The 2,300 mile event is not 8 countries in 8 days, it's actually 8 countries in only 7 days! :shock:

The event has a rest day at the massive 200 hectare 3599 m high off-road site in Val d’Isére deep in the heart of the French Alps as shown in the photos (the off-road site reached incidentally by the 'Hannibal Route' where in 218 BC the Carthaginian military commander took 38,000 infantry, 8,000 cavalry and 37 war elephants up and over the Alps) hence the day less.

Off-roading and a free history lesson, what more could you ask for? :lol:

Okay, please let me know ASAP.

BTW, I was the guy who organised the record attempt weekend in 2004 for the GWR Largest Parade of Land Rovers. And yes we did establish a new world record - 260. Incidentally, one of your merry band helped out as a Marshal that day ... Trugga!

If I can assist or advise re. logistics or importantly 'how to actually set the record', then by all means contact me via phone or email. Contact details via http://www.4x4-market.co.uk I may be into Range Rovers and the like, but glad to help fellow 4x4 enthusiasts.

See Trugga, what goes around come around! :wink:

Still got that box of tricks on the dash Trugga ... they were good? Got my own toys now, fitted them for Landy Rally last Sept. 2 sets of musical horns, 1 extremely loud standard air horn (for the MOT you understand) and an electronic box that confuses the hell out of shoppers going about their daily business.

My favourite is the cow mooing, especially good for using on the Vicky Pollard-type fat bird standing right by a zebra crossing who’s concentrating more on her mobile phone than actually crossing the road – you know the one, where even in a hurry you stop to let her cross and she’ll turn her back and carry on chatting to her mate. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Mmmmmm, that wasn’t rain, that was a monsoon. Still got the record though, it’ll take more than that to stop off-roaders achieve our goal. Let’s hope the weather’s kinder to you in September during your record attempt. Tell me, was this GWR thingy your idea? Bet it was!
