they're doing a pay&play there tomorrow 9th

trouble is like like most of us, i need the truck daily so could do without breaking too much!

Well, with the wet weather, your non lifted, standard truck on road tyres - take some friends!!!!

You'll get stuck on the 'easy' bit around the outside, you'll smash your fog light off if it's one of those dangly ones, you'll need to take a jetwash with you or get to one very soon after, cos it's mostly clay base and it sticks like it in the engine bay and all over your rad.

You'll need some recovery straps, wellies and old clothes as you'll get really stuck!

But, it's great fun, if I was better, I'd come over and meet you there, as I'm only up the road - but not able to drive still....(unless I get better between now and then of course...and I need to make sure my 4WD really works....)

DON'T go by yourself - there will be people there that can pull you out, but most of them have Land Rovers, and fankly, that's embarrassing!!

thanks for the reply. maybe i should leave it till it's a bit dryer then.

don't want to give them landy owners the pleasure of recovering a toyota do we!!

going to be bored tomorrow now

[MudSurfer]

See if the likes of Growler, ElwoodBlues and others want to pop down there for the day???

[hiroler]

I would be up for a trip out there! never been so dont know what to expect but as long as your sensible you should not come to to much harm!!

[MudSurfer]

Keep your eyes peeled Ross, I'll see when they are open again and update this thread, and see if we can get a few of us down there....with recovery straps!

14th of December???

[Artful_dodger]

I went there yesterday(9th Nov) for the first time and found it very good.

Had to be pulled out of some very deep water but other than that had a grreat time until i snapped a rubber brake hose and had to call it a day.

I look forward to the next play day.

Only let down was the photographer that was on site was charging £10 per pic.

Cheers
Paul

£10 a pic might take my camera and charge £5

That's probably not a bad plan!

I think it's £15 or £20 for the day....
