Off Road Experience Day by si_hoss on Tue Nov 02, 2010 6:57 pm
Hey all,

My missus has asked what I want for Christmas, not being a Fronty owner anymore :( (I drive 25k+ miles a year so couldn't afford it) I'm thinking of an off-road experience day that I can drive, and she can come with. She's NEVER off roaded before so I'm keen to show her what a 4x4 can do.

Can anyone recommend a cheap day like this, I know the official Land Rover ones are stupid money for 2 hours let alone all day. We're in Hertfordshire if that helps. Chances are I'll end up with some clothes instead but there we go lol.

Cheers all!

I'm sure there will be a S.E. meet somewhere near you.

If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.

Check out the S.E. picnic day this coming Sunday - I'm sure some of us will be more than willing to give you a ride round the site.

As Pete said above....

THIS SUNDAY....Be there or be square....better than any landrover experience and if you are really unlucky I'll take you out!

You'll love it mate, they are a great bunch down here....

and as for cost....£5 per adult visitor for the day + everyone brings some stuff thats pooled to go on the BBQ for lunch...

This is the last meet in the woods we are doing this year...so get yourself along for a flextastic mudlicious wheel waving day!

Check out the SE section and you will see the sticky for direction for our meet point at notcutts garden centre....or better still join one of the 2 m25 convoys coming down... :wink:
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

Man you guys are GOOD - But it's my nieces birthday this Sunday so got to go to that, although if I wasn't I'd be off to Earl's Court for the Top Gear Live Show.

NEXT YEAR I'll clear my diary and tag along :)

Cheers again!
