He takes instalment payments ? Hmmm

Mate, I totally agree with you. Off-road and/or laning events are like cheap parts. Always miles and miles away from where one lives. When people say one ought to get off their arses and go, they aren't taking into account the fact that some people may not have any spare cash available at the time. Putting food on the table and keeping a roof over ones head are far more important than a laning expedition.

Ive never been offroading or laneing less than 3 hours from home.
I do appreciate that we need to prioritise our financial outgoings however

perhaps there aren't too many lanes to use

I'll have a look through all my old TORs and see what's in your locality. I can probably scan the routes and then the ball's in your court.

well dont think well be going this month but we ll have at least one p&p outing next. will put a post on as usual .dont think ill go to boxgrove as slindon is a much better site but will definitely go to woodlands over the winter

[Shalershasker]

i try im always asking people to come to slindon/boxgrove/ and i think woodlands but there are very very few that want to go

Used to go to woodlands in a lifted frontera there was deffinately something for everyone there, was good fun, haven't been to the others though.

just meet up at a pay and play site... it's not all hardcore offroad...

i think it was my suggestion the thing is wales is a long way from kent.ok so is cornwall and we went there but we cant all pop over to wales just like that .and from time to time i see a post asking if anyone's interested in a laning day out only to find its in scotland/wales africa or the moon it just doesn't happen in kent .and i know that someone will say get of your ass and do something about it then but i dont now were to start it would be nice if a few of us could get together and suss out some lanes but it would nt be much fun on my own. and before mattf starts im not complaining or trying to start a fight or running down surf owners or this site i just think its a kentish thing and perhaps there aren't too many lanes to use

That was my gripe in a n other thread a few days ago. People suggesting we should maybe get together now and again.

The amount of times we go to Wales having posted up a thread inviting people only to have it fill with the same people every time. Not that that's a bad thing...

I'm happy to head to Wales pretty much any time I haven't got other priorities. There is so much excellent cleaning so people who keep banging on about it - put your money where you mouth is and join us. It might just absorb some of the testosterone

Of course we would all offroad even more if Apaches avatar was more indicative of conditions whilst stuck

[Albannach]

The Scottish folk are more active on SMC though (vehicle inspecific forum for those who dont know) and seem to be far more biased towards vehicle builds / mods / events than this forum.

Aye, the organisation etc. is done on SMC, but there's always an invitation to folk on here. Jess and Gordon have been to more SMC outings than me!

As Sam said earlier, some here are almost outwardly hostile towards using their trucks offroad - which is fair enough, takes all sorts, but this site DID used to be biased in a similar way to SMC when I first joined. That's no longer the case. It's now become a general 'one type vehicle' forum where offroading is but a tiny part, rather than offroading being a major part as it used to be.
