Had a great day out - and good to meet a few more offroaders. Great site


Oh - I'd personally strongly recommend against milners springs. I've heard of dozens of people sending them back for being junk (everything else from there is spot on though)

Hiya Chris ...Welcome to FOG

[jellybaby]

hello again chris

[Blue_Frontera]

Looks like you all had a great time, nice photo's. It was really cr*p that I couldn't make it, well I kind of was there but not, long story-

I had a nightmare of a weekend, went out Sat night with a few mates and my girlfriend who bought her mate out that I've only met a couple of times and to cut a long story short around 11:30ish she collapsed unconscious on the floor of a toilet cubicle and as I'm a lifeguard/first aider I dealt with it until the ambulance arrived. She was locked in the cubicle so I had to go into the next one and jump over the top to get to her and as I checked her breathing(luckily she was) she started violently fitting, not a pretty sight tbh! She was kicking her legs, arms and worst of all smashing her head against the wall, she must of done that about 20 times, apparently epilectic's can use 100% of their muscle during fits, she was uncontrollable!
Eventually I managed to get her out of there and as she settled down put her in recovery position, but then she went to be sick although nothing came out and I couldn't open her jaw to check/clear any blockages because she had so much strenght from the fitting. After this she started fitting again, must of been doing it on and off for about 25 mins. Then she slipped unconscious again, had no repsonse whatsoever from her the whole time. Took the ambulance 15mins to turn up, felt like a lifetime. She's recovered now, her dads epilectic and she's been having tests for it, that was the first time it's happened.
Anyway as a result of that we were in the hospital most of the night and didn't get to bed till it was almost getting light again, so woke up late but we did actually come to Holymoorside, got there around 1ish. We put it in on the sat nav(came up with loads of roads/lane names so I put the main road in) but once there I drove around for quite awhile but couldn't see any sign of anything, was really annoying because I was really looking forward to doing some offroading but just couldn't find you. In hindsight I should of took someone's mobile number from here incase I got lost, but I thought I'd be able to find it ok.
In the end I ended up going into Ashover and stumbled across a TBEC enduro at Butts Quarry so settled for watching that for abit. Wish I could of come though, did some lanes on the way back but nothing compared to what it looked like in your photo's.
Count me in on the next event, hopefully nothing will get in the way!

Yeah just bad luck really, oh well.

Great, hope it's soon! Would it be possible to swap mob no.s nearer the time or is there a more precise location to put into the sat nav?

Cheers

Welcome Chris - sure was good to see some "enthusiasm" at the meet, and swap a few truck ideas (I fancy some on-board air).

Re springs - can you recommend any alternative suppliers, preferably in the Midlands area ?
