I there i'm back been very busy booking holidays, and making ssteve drive me around as sherman had been valeted and had gone to bed, so I had to resort to being driven in a petrol yuk.

Anyways I am on holiday from 18.01.07 to 23.01.07.

hopefully ssteve will get his butt into action to do the recci with me in the daylight.

Working on it right now!!
Problem is, when I'm awake and available, You're at work!!!!

Provisionally looking at 27th or 28th of January!!!

I think this is what we are looking for

Most of it OFF TOPIC!!!

Going to go and have a look during the Week between 6-10 Nov.
I'll try to get some Daytime Pics and get a good read of the Ground as
although I was there the other night with SB we didn't do any of the Runs, Just a quick in and out to confirm directions and Location for Multimap.
There are 2 Sections to the Quarry, the Section we're looking at isn't too Bad and wasn't the main section. The Main Section has a few burnt out Cars in that pose a serious Health and Safety Risk owing to their positions.

Dunkery Beacon

I dont know the spelling.

Stayed at Minehead, but went up to Dartmoore. it was slippy to say the least

[sollihull]

OK, Here we Go !!

Photos and Vid will be posted when I get authorisation from SB!!

The First Section of the Quarry is mainly used for MotoCross & Quad-Biking, so it's fun!!

On Entering the "Parking"/"Hard Stand" Area you're in the Mud already,
Some nice easy Runs and Some Diff Scrapers!
Easy to Moderate going the whole way around with some good Mud Holes.

The Second Section was a bit innaccesable to us as Rocks have fallen into the Tracks. Nice Mud/Water Run which is possible the easiest bit to get to in a Standard Frontera.
For the Guys in SWB,Lifted or on MTs you can go right the way down into the bottom of the Quarry but be advised there are Burnt out Vehicles there!!
No Facilities are available and no Buttie Wagon but with a bit of Pre-Planning a BBQ could be set up in Several areas.

All in all a suprising find and I think we can get 15 Fronties on the top section at the same time as long as everyone plays nicely!!
Maybe 10-20 Fronties in the Main Quarry but as stated above, we're Limited down there!!!!

B&Bs available in Matlock from £35 Per Room Per Night with a very filling Breakfast!!

the pics of the Quarry are good you have my authorization to post the pics they are really good, go for it I think you will all enjoy it.

Sherman got very dirty and I broke him manged to bend the bar at the back with the electrics plugs for towing, and I have no brakes v.scary when you 30 odd miles from home.

Oh well roll on Jan

I should have read this topic earlier (it was only a few miles from me), and managed some insurance (the mirthmobile is off the road untill the insurance becomes affordable)... I could have brought my savage too.
