Sorry folks that postcode is for the booking office not the site
Memory map screen shot ..................



Come off M54 @ Junction 6 follow A5223 which leads onto A4169.
The site entrance is roughly in the area of Holbrook Coppice.



You will be going downhill the sire entrance is on the right,it may show on a more up to date version,the approx grid ref ......... SJ 65354 05153.



Google earth aerial piccy,the large green area to the north-east of the site is Holbrook Coppice
co-ordinates for the entrance 52 38 22.52 N ........ 2 31 05.50 W
Depending on the followig traffic & considering you need to cross 2 lanes of uphill traffic,it may be useful for you to know that a little further downhill on the left is a layby with a good view up & down hill where a U turn is possible.

Looks like somebody has voted Fuddy Mucker into Events Weather Organiser.

And just to prove how good he is at his job he has arranged a little pre event demonstration...........


Then it rained some more and got dark enough for the flash to work............

[FUDDY MUCKER]

Da Ja Vue of a few Midlands Events I have attended.

One on the McDonalds Car Park, just of the M5, in Glorious May ....... where we had 2 hours of Monsoon Weather .....

Then the one a few Months back in Beautiful April .......... With Snow Storms And Bizzards .....

The green laning day up in the Peak District in November with -5 C and 2" of ice in the Puddles ...... At 3 pm in the afternoon .....

Do I need to go on !!!!!!

I think I will pass on the Job of FOG Weather Organiser/Adviser if you don't mind.

But more seriously folks,it is like that more off than on,but when it comes down .......................

Fitted a pair of manual hubs this afternoon (in between the rain showers) so I'm now looking forward to "having a bit of a play"

Has anyone been to this site before ? I've only seen photos/video of the pond - is there much more to it ?

Shall I bring waffles and hi-lift ? (I have winch and strops)

Oh yes, I shall bring the video camera.

Only a little bit,not so much as you would notice really ,my drive is now a river,I jest you not.

[Red Oktober]

the main road (outside our front room window) gets like that ....... ...tis funny watching the pub goers getting drenched as the traffic splashes them

[Road Hog]

Just as well me,Drift & Nitro don`t live nearby or you would be on permanant driver duty

Oh & yes it is still tipping down,now thinking....................... Bring big boat with engine & life preservers

[Road Hog]

Just go power boat racing instead you will stay drier.
