I'll just add, having spoken to John, that currently he is in the process of setting up the site for 4x4 use, to include shiny and extreme useage (winch and punch challenges etc)

Drift was priveledged to be invited as attendance this year is by invitation only to form work parties with the reward being a little time to play.

Obviously the camping meadow(s) are waterlogged at the moment and he has recently "aquired" some more land that also needs a little work doing.

Before FOG run an event there, there is a little more admin work to sort out as well.

I can offer some leg work if it helps get us closer to a group booking.

. Hi , Glad you liked a few of the pics , the site is still under development yet ,
lt is difficult to get the right ballance for 4x4 trucks , some want testing terrain , some non damaging , what Trugga n Drift saw was just a small part of the site , mostly due to there being crops ready for harvest ,

The most difficult decision is making it cost efective and competitive with the current farming practice , lt may be that by working with Clubs such as your own with proven responsible members , is a possibility .
l will remain in contact with the above guys , lets see what we can work out , Thanks for the suport n interest GAWXO.

Can't believe I missed this thread! Brilliant pictures and it looks like loads of fun. Is there any developments on this place now at all? Also is it 'open' yet, where abouts in Chester is it and can I do anything to help at all?
Thanks and regards,

At the moment Dan, John only runs his site on personal invites, I think things are a bit hectic on the Farm of late, but your more than welcome to join any other trips out with us :D
