To be honest you may struggle at DevilsPit on road tyres if 8th Feb is as muddy as last weekend was... but it's worth coming along to meet us all and grab a few rides round to see how its done... Don't worry that you haven't done it before... there's lots of guys there with tons of experience all happy to help you out..

You wont need to wimp out mate, theres something for everybody at the pit, hell some people slip and slide around the car park. I run on road tyres and granted I get stuck occasionally but its all part of the fun. You see all the other 4x4's queing to pull you out.

Try this publication by Surrey Council,it's nice to see a council that's 4x4 friendly.
