I'll definately be out on several days.

Will be giving the large groups a wide berth though.

hey BPman and others, you've probably seen me around on here before but I've (as far as I know!) never met any of you...

wondering what your thoughts would be to me joining in? I'm from Cheshire so its ~3hr journey for me but I don't mind (would drive to S.Africa if i could afford fuel!) but i guess id have to come down the night before maybe? what time would you plan to start and end?

im vaguely capable with a 4wd and stuff but no expert (will only be 19 at that date!) and I've always wanted to explore the plains with some people who know it!

I guess you have seen my 110 but its basically standard except i have steering guard etc and will have a CB fitted by then hopefully.

any info and reassurance that its suitable for me would be good! I've been out in N.wales before 2/3 times and usually coped fine Smile just some scratchy walls and branches to be nervy of! Cheers, David

Yep, we'll be there again, would be rude not too.

Don't worry the 110 that sank up to its seats in mud last year won't be coming Wink 2007 TD5 90 Hard Top

Ok sounds good - if someone could give me a breif overview of how these things go down then I will be able to decide whether I can commit or not. Just roughly what time you'd meet in the morning? And maybe a postcode/vague address of somewhere near where we start?

Cheers in advance Cheers, David

once i know email addresses etc, I'll send out an email for the day

Like Diesel Jim says, it gets busy out on the plains over Christmas, we are responsible and adhere to the codes.
