Xmas Off Roading?

[sumo]

As usual us sumo's are soooo organized that we only just decided that YESwe wil be comming tooo........BUT you lot have to be on your best behaviour cos MY MUM IS COMMING AS WELL (and be warned she is a crack shot with the walking stick )

[jotto]

Come on then whats the plan

[dirtydog]

Still meeting at 10am? Do you have a map reference for me from multimap or similar?
Thanks! See you in the morning with my new tyres

[naphar]

Room for another one?

Never taken my truck greenlaning before. Do I need to take off the running boards or anything - or can I just turn up and go? (running 31" BFG AT's)

Do I need to bring shovels or anything? Hoping it's not too bad down these lanes, as need to px it soon for a 3rd gen and would prefer not to damage it now!

Any objections to my cousin coming in his (not wishing to swear, but) Wrangler??!!

Cheers

Neil

The Plan is up to you guys I ve only made a suggestion of meeting up at 10am at the Rookery cafe on the A1000 between Hatfield and Potters Bar aprox 600yds South of Dixons hill rd in Welham Green....The Rookery is marked on the OS maps


Unfortunatly i could not get any tulip diagrams printed up we got the directors down at work spoil sports


For the newbies just turn up bring shovels if you feel happier and running boards well leave them on it should not be to hard as all the routes in the magazines allegedly claim you can do it with a road going vehicles, its advisable to have the right boots on though and whelies.
I think we can allow a Wrangler follow on behind (about two miles will do) cant ruin our street cred

We will go on the route untill you all have said you have had enough or you wish to drop out its up to you guys.

Just bring food and a flask or in ricks case the the urn..

Be prepared as the weather forcast is not good (rain)

The route Starts off going round the back of cuffley then on towards swabridgeworth and then back towards Stevenage



See you in the morning

[dirtydog]

The more the merrier! Sounds like a good meet. As you have mentioned before 10am I'd say thats a good bet. See you tomorrow!
Fot the newbies, Its only my second run and i leave on all steps etc and run 31's too so your in the same boat as me.

[naphar]

Thanks for the reassurance guys.

The wrangler won't be coming - the cousin's going to ride with me. He doesn't want to scratch his new rims!!!

C u all tomorrow.

[mark g8awo]

Just a passing thought for the newbies dont forget some rope in case you do need to be pulled out of a hole


Be prepared


If you have a GPS unit bring your uplink lead..I can put the route directly into the unit from the laptop

Twas a good day out, cheers to Jotto for the lift round. Plenty of water in few places (good to go back when it has really rained). One half fallen tree across the track was soon lifted enough with the 48" high lift jack so we could pass under (no more comments needed on this subject )
Good day out in all pics/video to follow.
