Southcoast Mud

[Danno]

Hi everybody

Not been here for quite a while, good to see its as chaotic as ever!

Right....I've had the truck for nearly a year and I still havent got it too dirty ( except at last weekends Bournemouth Rally carparks - good snow! ). Where can I go and play in the southampton area, to warrant buying a jetwash?

Ive given up on the paint work it aint gonna be a show truck!

Nice one Danno,

You missed out on the Pingwood meet last weekend but there should be another on soon.

Watch out for Pops he is in the Southampton area!! he may know of some green lanes near you.

We have a couple on the Island if you wanna POP over and get it dirty I am always up for it. We also have a few fords as well to clean them up a bit after.

You can always ask your local council. Highways dept should be able to help. Thats what I did and the Guy I got was exceptionally helpful.

Good luck.

Cheers Paul, will take you up but the robbing bstards at red funnel scare me! Most expensive water crossing in the world!

But we'll definately have an excursion to say hello.

PS Forget the fords I like to see my truck as intended muddy!!

I heard about a "East Hampshire Trail", runs around Alton way. Got any ideas anyone?

Just found something interesting

Hants County Council Website has got maps of current open / shut boats and rupps!!

Very informative...!

MMM - thats cool. It's fairly accurate although a few of the BOATs round here are missing.

There is another off raod meet at Pingewood, Reading 25th April, or at Avon Dassett 28th March (M40 Oxon - keep your eyes peeled for details)

If you're happy to have a bit a 2 hour drive then Devils Pit on 14th March will have a fair few peop there.

Handy thing round here is that the BOATS stay open all year as the chalk is good at draining the water away.
If we go anytime soon (on a planned outing rather than last inute whim) we'll give you a shout!!

Didn't realise it was that cheap. I picked up a leaflet and sure it said about £50 for a day return!! Is that price off peak? If it is that cheap, I may pop over in the next week or two,

Cheers, Nick

[Danno]

Let me know some available dates then Paul / Nick and we'll get a convoy to the island.

Paul try and get hold of Pops and bring him along.

Cheers

Dan

PS Anyone got a CB....Fit it! Its cheaper than mobiles down the lanes!! May have a spare if anyone wants.
