Found another off road place and you can take your own vehicle,it's near Elgin,far away but still an option for a weekend i suppose.

Yep that would be a weekend one for me but a run up the whisky trail is always fun I love every bit of that route except the odd brain dead who has to pas no matter what.

Hi,

I live in Dumfries and there are loads of Surfs around due to two garages importing locally (at extortionate prices). There also is a good off road centre close by and a off road club (Ae 4X4) which I used to be a member of in my Shogun/Landie days. Wonder if any other "Doonhamers" or "Borderers" use hiluxsurf.co.uk?

Hi mate i live in Annan. was a member of Ae 4x4 but there trials clash with North lakes 4x4 tyro's thats my son does. i go to all the NL 4x4 RTV's and have a great time.
Where is the off road centre you talk about? is it the one at barony? if so were can i find details? only one i've found is weardale but it's bit of a trek. been a few times but costs £30 plus a tank of fuel.

hiya greebo

Yep its the Ae 4X4 centre, but theres also one near Wigton (Newton Stewart way) I think. I havent been to the Ae, but was in the Ae 4X4 club driving a LWB Shogun for a couple of years..... muddy but good fun !!! wanna dirty up the underside of my import, will have a look about and come back to forum with some details of prices etc.... Cheers

Soon to be surfer fae Edinburgh (formerly Ayrshire)

Hi Guys
Joined this forum a few days ago. Great for info on surfs etc. Just to let you know I will hopefully be purchasing my very first surf sometime in the next few months. When the time comes I will give you a shout to let you know and hopefully you will be still organising these sort of events and I can come along and join in the fun and if its ok to maybe bring along my 8 year old son as he would love all the off-road and camping stuff. Talk to ya later.
