JUst a wee update for everyone.
This site is easily drivable for those with road tyres - obviously if it is raining, the grass will get very slippy. There are over a dozen of the SORC boys coming along, so even if your car isn't overly capable, I'm sure you can get a lift (or maybe a shot?) of someone elses car.
As Stuart has said, we'll be doing some trial sections with canes. Some will be what we call Tyro - all about positioning your car, not about the terrain particularly. We'll also do some RTV style - a bit more, ahem, challenging.
More details tomorrow, when I have time!

Would love to have had a trip up but have to attend a 60th birthday party on saturday night - fancy dress and all
Have been trying to get out of it - It sounds like a cracking off road site - still, I suppose there will be a next time (hoping) ???

Yup, looking forward to this now. Have declined all the usual pay weekend offers to go out on the ** * * 
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Hi Mike
Good to see you around. Guys - for the rest of you, Mike is the entertainment for the day

Probably roundabout 7.30 to be down for 9. You want to meet up when i get down your way? I'll probably be needing a pit-stop by then, after all, thats why God put Dundee on the map, so the Aberdonians would have somewhere to stop and p*ss on their way to Edinburgh  lol, only joking mate.
