We would be interested in a wee socail event, just to meet up, picnic / bbq, loads of laugh and blethetring. Loads of places for that up this end, but not too sure the hubby would take Helga out in the woods just yet. Way too new to this :D

Forest drive is a mild drive don`t think it gonna do any damage it a gentle cruise and i think a car could do it a frontera aint gonna notice. It not mud its gravel i think or tarmac ask jools he said he drove it he should know what the surface was like.

I need some weekend date`s that are suitable for most of us, we have a good list of name`s and be cool to see a convoy of frontera`s from scotland on here. Plus kietha photographer bound to get some nice scenery shots and meet picture`s taken. If we get a few of these on the go come summer some of the guys down south maybe come join in get a camping weekend at a venue booked.

Where do these type of events take place Jools? Wouldn't mind going to watch some if they are suitable, ie are there stages/sections where you can watch the action, that sort of thing?


Hi

Well, one easy way is to look at the website for SORC - SORC
There are other off road clubs in Scotland, I like this one.

Yes, you are welcome to come and watch. You will almost immediately get pulled in to help, which is always a goos way to get to know folk.

Look at a new thread I'm starting about another type of event.....
