This Place Gets Weirder!

[Albannach]

It seems that there are two groups that do get together, the Wales group and the site group.
The site group go to Norfolk and the off road centres and the Wales group have a great time doing mini expedition's

The Scottish contingent are pretty active too.

When you say 'The Site' group, what do you mean?

Well we've had a couple down this way (Kent/Sussex) too. In some ways all the outings are limited as we all try to keep numbers to a sensible level. Naturally this means it's often the same names as it tends to be those of us who log on quite often that see the thread first and get names down quickly. An off road centre around the midlands that we could go to en masse would be ideal though I know some of us, me included far prefer laning to mudplugging. It's where I suppose the run to the sun and past plain outings have worked so well, As you get the best of both worlds

Theyve always been on weekends I'm working dammit!! Definitely up for it next year. Might have something coming up with family in the Brecons in Jan/Feb so was going to drop you a line.
Gutted about the TRO though

I know what you mean there, my weekends are monday and tuesday I'm always working sat and sun so will be difficult to make any of the meetings (even when my surf is up to scratch)even though I'd love to, even my holidays have to be booked a year in advance , how do I know what's going to be happening in a year's time.

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 thats 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 laning 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

The site group go to Norfolk and the off road centres and the Wales group have a great time doing mini expedition's – sorry Rob and I didn't make it this time but my cheeks would have got cold, hanging them out of the window all the way down the M4 was tempting but frankly spray on mud would be more pleasant on the side of the car than what I would have left!

But essentially this site does provide two well organised- well, organised at least- options for peeps to enjoy.
However, reading the forums these days the crowd is almost anti off roading in some respects in spite of the ample opportunities to join in. Certainly, as Apache eluded to, a sub community does exist of those that do go to events but no longer take part in the forum except in passing.

I think this is generally summed up by people posing that they will 'give x a call'.. if x could be bothered about the place then surely they would have read the thread- this is a general and not a specific comment as I know full well that someone is desperate to jump on something that I have written.

Ok then
Pick a Saturday in mid November and lets get another trip going. Not all weekend , just a Saturday drive. I'm game...

Cool. One day suits me too. I'd like to do that one you did late Saturday, the one with the severe rut and leanage.

I'll give Boyo a bell later this week.

You've missed it mate. The best (ie most challenging) bit of Sarn has been TRO'd permanently. The southern end is still open on a temporary TRO, and is worth doing, but last trip we did a couple of crackers!

There's still Strata which is pretty interesting in places, but is nice just for sheer variability of terrain and scenery.
