[onlynik]

just read this on scotwest site;

http://www.scotlandwest.org.uk/

have any of you guys heard how much it is costing?

we just usually go to the farmers house and give him a score, hes not doing to bad if the price is up to 35 for a day.

typical tight scotsman i know.

cheers scotty

I thought it was £20 a day, thats the price quoted on the diff-lock forum.

Well everyone i will be heading to Drumclog late this afternoon and hopefully arriving early evening.

On arrival to the site could everyone please come and pay myself for your weekends play before you set up camp,my wee villiage will be sign posted and easy to find.

Could anyone posting photos on difflock from the drumclog event please post them in the 4x4 section,in previous years people have posted photos in the events section,coffee break etc,posting them in 4x4 makes it easier for us all to find the photos.

See you all soon.

And siice we are pating Tracey, I reckon iys still gonna be 20 note.

Where about do you want to meet?

[Ballibeg]

will all of you be coming the M74, if so there is a hotel just off the junction that you take, jct 8, Shawlands Hotel its called, they have a good car park with plenty room. heres the link.

http://www.shawlandshotel.co.uk/about.htm

it might come in handy for those of you with sat nav.

i recon it will take us 15 to 20 mins to get to drumclog from there, slightlly more if anyone want to stop for deisel, refreshments.

it would be good if we could all meet there in plenty of time, just for a blether and a brew, and a kick at a few tyres.

cheers scotty

This is where I am heading for 11.

Well i'm the first one back from Drumclog ( D7) as the other dirty stop outs stayed over and camped out,enjoying beer and spirits as i drove home Even when i got home i was getting picture messages of the swines drinking and of the camp fire. But i'm sure they'll tell you more when they get back ( if they can remember)
Now since no ones back i could tell tales on what a great day was had at this huge site,how good my driving was and how i never got stuck! But sadly i cant. Got stuck once, in a muddy hole. Thanks to Scotty for pulling me out. Did make it up a certain rutted incline though.

Great turn out of vehicles over 100 on Saturday and more expected today. Every type of vehicle was there.

The site has everything to offer,rivers,hills,mud,more mud. Dont even think i seen half of it.

Didn't get the chance to take many pictures but think the others have some good coverage of the day.

Good to catch up with other Surfers,Scotty and Henry,Dave,Nic and Jeff.
