Had some free time the other day and came accross this.
Those new to the off road game, would do well to have a proverbial thumb through the off road driving tips and techniques section.

Nice one! Finally someone to go off roading with locally!

I have a whole stack of routes and OS maps covering a lot of devon, some nice easy routes and some slightly more tricky ones.
If your interested, PM me your phone number etc.. and when I go out next which won't be long I'll give you a shout, we can convoy!

Very soon, what i'm planning on doing is just another day up there myself to finalise a days worth of route for us all and make sure that its a good route too!

Once I have this done, I will arrange meet.

Anything I should be aware of when arranging events?

Watch this space

Plenty of notice, pick a weekend, and check the off road section so you dont clash with any other major event...

if you're new to off road, don't get too confident when you're on your own!... it's easy to get stuck and you don't wanna go getting stranded in the wilderness!
