I have just been looking through some pictures on the avalanche website and am getting a little concerned about what i've let myself in for!
My surf is totally standard, no lift, no winch and still on 30" tyres. My only offroad experience is parking my work van on pavements
I hope the beginner bits are easy, i dont fancy bashing my truck up.

I watched a relatively standard surf bounce its way up a VERY rocky/boulder green lane in the peak district. A few mud holes ain't gonna kill your truck, unless its a petrol!
I am always impressed at what these trucks can handle. For the majority of us, our lack of skill, ability and the fear factor kick in well before the truck gets to its limit!
I'm gonna take it easy, but I know by the end of the weekend i'll be getting air off the hills and scooping mud out the footwells!

Don't worry, my truck was standard & coped just fine.

I was really impressed with what mine could get through & with crappy road tyres on.

My truck was totally standard and I had no problem with the majority of the course - Just avoid driving through water unless you have checked the depth!

Me last year:

You just like putting photos of me on here don't you.

Daz, don't be put off by the Shrek looking fella in the bottom right of picture, he's a nice guy really! Hi Si!

Don't be too worried, as Puddles found out test the water first that way you will not have to endure Dixie sulking as he gets wet.

There were a few guys that joined us late last year and they had a standard Surf and he went around a few times, most of us have towing gear to pull you out. .

Come down and enjoy its mostly the social side anyway that most of us go for, plus the chance to legally get your truck very dirty.
If you come down and find you do want to go round the track I am sure someone will go with you and show you the places not to go...

Just wait and look around before going head on into a big PUDDLE.

See what i did there PuddleSurfer

Feeling a little more at ease with the up and coming event, Cheers guys.
I will definatly avoid the water until i've seen someone else go through it, and i'll bring some wellies just in case.
I wonder if the Surf is named after it's love of water?

You would think so the way Jotto and Puddlesurfer used theirs last year

With this weather puddles will be 2" deep time we get there
