Have been up the site again this afternoon and put some more tracks in...
I kinda doodled up a bit of a map so you can all see what we have been up to...
This is not scale but to just give an idea of how its coming on...
Most of the tracks I have numbered and below is a description of what they are all about...
To make this a bit clearer to start, tracks 14 and 22 run along the bottom of the valley. The valley then slopes up towards track 18 at the top. Track 13 is on the other side of the valley...hope that makes sense
First off...
Green stuff is easier, and standard cars should be fine, but still needs a bit of thought..
Red stuff is a bit more challenging and standard cars with an experienced pilot should be fine, but more suited to a few mods
Black stuff, this is much more difficult and modded motors may be needed, less experienced drivers should deffo walk these first..
These rough assesments are done in the dry...in the wet will be a whole lot more interesting and difficult...
I have driven nearly all of these tracks in the chevy, with its longer wheelbase than a lwb fronty, has a huge overhang and is taller, and I havent dented it, so panel damage shouldnt be probable if you are careful...
All the trees have been pruned back or felled where it is tight,so nowhere should be scratchy unless you get it wrong..went round ALL the tracks today pruning off any straying branches and think I got most of them...
Anything that was really tight, we have felled trees to open up...so noone should have to shunt all the time,
I reckon I could drive the whole site with probably less than 1/2 dozen shunts in the chevy!!
I havent driven this site in the wet though...that is gonna make it whole lot more interesting and difficult
To give an idea of scale, the site is about 22acres, we have put tracks through approx 1/2 of it so far, so loads and loads more to come...or to make yourselves!
Key to map (well sort of map!!)
1.Gentle incline which loads of collapsed rabbit warrens at the bottom, goes up the hill then round some trees and back down to the bottom, 2 ways out, the one on the right steeper and bit tighter.Made this on thursday...
2. Fairly easy run up the hill between the trees coming out on the top access track, made this one on thursday...this will be our main access to the lower part of the site
3. bit steeper climb that winds up though the trees...a few tricky bits to get you thinking,first driven by badboy b4 his diff went for a burton when this track was cut on the working day..
4. nice climb up through the woods. joining up with track3, a few technical bits to keep it interesting, first driven by Gibbo when it was cut on the workday..
5. Steeper still climb with some nice technical bits to fink about, first driven by gibbo on the workday when it was cut...
6.Undriven as yet...this is a nasty one, steep, sideslopes, treestumps to climb and huge roots and finally when you think you are up the hill...more stumps and root holes on the last bit of the hill, built by matt and I on thursday...nasty
7. KRUSHER'S REVENGE! A good one this, starts off with a nice sideslope and then a pretty steep climb made more interesting by big old tree roots to get over...built on the workday and first driven by Krusher on road tyres??? I dont know how??
Will be near impossible in the wet!!FIRST CLIMB TO BE NAMED BY A MEMBER!!
8. Spiteful little cut through that i made today, tree stumps, roots, sideslopes...a very spitefull one...
9. 2 black climbs down the hill from 8, steep technical and fun...made em today and drove em with the chevy...the one on the left in the picture will be quite tight to get a lwb out of onto the bottom track 22...sports will be cool though!
10. Demon cut through that I made today..holes, treetrunks, stumps to get over and its on a 3/4 side slope...not driven yet...will be a toughy!
11.The axle twisting stump garden...as seen in some of the pickies, for some flextastic fun...
12. Tree stump cut through...difficult little one this...built it today...
13. Nice sedate route around gentle slopes at bottom of other side of valley..cant go further up this side as is the landowners game forest...
14. Greg n matts motorway...wide cleared route for easy access to bottom of the site...for extraction purposes!
15. Clearings...might be good for parking areas..
16. OUT OF BOUNDS...this area has badger sets that the landowner doesnt want disturbed
17. Cant find this one the pickie...d'oh screwed up!Next new route will be 17, and I must learn to count!
18. Main access route to top of hill
19. Paddock with a big hairy bull in it....not ours to use...even though he seemed interested in Krushers RED sport!
20. Blue route...emergency access, normal access to lower site through route 2
21.Windy access route through bottom of valley,
22. Access route to black runs, interesting descent to begin, or come through the stump garden, the choice is yours...
23. The big bomb hole...through interesting routes through this to flex out your truck
24. Smaller bomb hole...where Krusher got stuck and I bust my rear bumper!
NEW STUFF TODAY!!!
25. Nice windy climb through the trees, pretty steep in places..comes out on the top track
26. Good steep climb, 2 routes up, one over roots and trees, the other over loose dirt
27. Slidey side slope, into the bottom of tracks of 26..
Well there you have it so far...first meet here is 13th sept...get your name down...its gonna be cooool
I am aiming to get a few more tracks in between tracks 5 and 6 before then,
but the idea of the 13th is to drive the stuff thats been done already to start, then go where you want and make your own climbs...
I will be there with a chainsaw clearing stuff as you go...you can even name YOUR OWN routes!!
Will be wicked...look forwards to seeing you all...
