Whats the cost to get in on this for one day? I really wanna have a go, but can only get away from home for the Sunday.
Any way that can happen? or is it a weekend or no deal sort of thing.

well the track is as hard as you make it, some parts can kill a truck..... like the water
and some is nice and easy.

and if you get stuck just ask and we will normally get you unstuck with out too much drama, unless it is a proper stuck then loads of pic's

last time i got water washing over the roof :dance:

im going to have to work out how to pack my fronty up now....

Arrival time? Dunno, depends on when I crawl out me maggot.
Will be loading the truck n caravan this weekend. Tyres on order tomorrow and hopefully here for about Wednesday, get them fitted sparrows Friday and then on the road... She's driving (first time with van on the back :lol: ) so the truck and front end of caravan will roll in around 13:00 to 13:30, the rest of the van will probably be scattered along the route... :shock:
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here
