off road army base

[dieselboy]

since someone/s are nicely organising this forum so stuff is easier to find now, im posting here. but it probably wont be read lol

the first week i bought my surf i went with a load of land rover people off surrey 4x4 forum to an event they were all going to at an army base down the A3.
the place was massive, and you were free to do what you like, go where you like within the massive area. so many hills to go up and down, and the ground was mainly sandy with muddy bits in too. there was pockets of tree'd areas that you could also go through.

the area was/is a tank testing ground and there are disused tanks and army vehicles dotted about the place as well.

if no one knows of this place, is anyone interested in coming with me if i find the details?
last time i went it was ALL land rovers, with the exception of a land cruiser.

i think this place is quite good because the ground is sandy. my truck was below standard height at that time and i never got stuck (unlike the landrovers) my bash plate did its job and i never got any damage to my truck what soever.
i would recommend this place for complete beginners as well as people that are more daring and dont mind rolling their surf or going through tank puddles!

i think the price for the day was £10 per car...
so if people are interested, i will find out more

[dieselboy]

[charvell]

Slab Common?

mmmmmmmmm not been there

[nero279]

Dunno, recognised the name from reading about various events held at Slab Common near Bordon in Hampshire went to the map and saw Bordon and thought it was a pretty safe bet that's where you was on about. Yeah i'll be game for almost anything offroad - soon as i get all this training out the way and can start earning money.

talking of slab common, this threads liteally been posted on KLASS this evening http://www.klassociation.proboards79...e=1#1203448295

Looks good to me.

Done a bit moe looking about and it seems AWDC use three sites very close together around Bordon - Slab common + the hogmoor enclosure appear to be pretty much next to each other, then broxhead common the other side of the village.

i think its a good all-rounder. i went in my sub standard surf, and never got stuck and had a good time but played it safe as well.

i was following a group of land rovers and a jeep with a super lift and monster wheels, we were going where the tanks go and you couldnt see how deep it was. i decided to stay to the right so that i missed it and it was way too deep for the landy!

lots of people getting stuck if they decided to be that extreme. as you can see from the google map, there is loads of open space, but in this open space there is massive hills and tracks to follow.
