off road weekend
As I was on holiday when the AGM was on I was wondering if anyone would be interested in an off road day/weekend at Woodlands Farm (near Brands Hatch, Kent) I have been told that it's very good - from novice (thats me!!) - to experts.
I can arrange a campsite with tents and a hut if its wet. There are toilets and a small washroom + BBQ and lots of takeaways close by.
The off road in about £30 per day depending on numbers (could be less) and there would be a small fee for camping and food again depending on numbers.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Regards,
Michael.
I would be interested its only down the road from and i missed the agm
peter :)
any dates for us, room for caravans,good to hear from you micheal we met at war/peace.AGM great weekend had by all, would that be near woodlands golf course
shaun
When were you thinking of having the bash?
Would like it to be before Christmas - but would be happy to go with any date that suits the majority as I can book the hut and field for anytime. Do you have any preferences?
I'm up for a play in the mud :D
Pretty much any date is ok.
I think it is time to introduce my car to a few friends. Besides, I am tired of pulling my mates Landy everytime we go for a play.
BE nice to see a new faces and Gs many more would be good whos out there ,is that the correct there ive yoused ,troulble with me words today
You are not making sense shauny or is it Dawny!!!!
We would be up for some camping, but sooner rather than later on in the year as i feel the cold.
But as Brands Hatch is only up the road do we need to? :?:
We could just venture up for the day, so count us in Michael.
:( But as our G is still in the garage being fixed don't make it too soon.
(Merv your advice was gratefully recieved today, quote from Jim ' that Merv was a very nice man but our local Merc spares dept are a bunch of w******' :!: (hope thats not too rude for this forum.)
That load of dribble was Shaun! Is was not that Dawny!!!!!!!!
It was not that Dawny!!!!!!!!!! Been a long week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am proposing 1st October as date for Woodlands. Have been advised by Woodlands to arrive between 8.30 and 9am to avoid not getting in ( 100 vehicles allowed on site) Should be £20 cash to get in.
If people want to camp could they contact me and I will give them details indivdually.
Hope you can make it!!
Michael
Ok with me
see you there :!:
Will the southern rep be joining us?
Think me making more sense today,an event in the south east nice one Micheal keep in touch.
Helen when you going to show me how to get rid of my stupid hat, hangmans hood,and coathanger of my nose many tanks
shaun
I think it suits you, or would you like a girly one like mine :?:
I think dawny would
Very interested,
Would make it a day trip up from Canterbury rather than spend the weekend, but sounds like fun :)
When you get specifics can you either post them here or pm me the details to confirm.
Thanks
We will do a day trip too, although Bob wants to camp so we might turn up in separate vehicles.
Michael, it looks like we have at least 5 vehicles so it must be worth making it a definate :!:
Got all weekends in October tied up, Hope that doesnt stop everyone else having fun!
its definite for the 1st october for Woodlands. No one has asked to camp, so I suggest we all meet at Woodlands at 8.30 to 9.00am to ensure we all get in.
I will be in the old white Gwagon - I look forward to seeing you all there!!
Michael.
Ok Michael meet you there.
Sounds very good, I'll be along on the Sunday morning :D
Shall we find a good place for sunday lunch? :D
sound like a good idea to me, i see you have got gwagon back is it running ok?
I haven't got my G back BUT hopefully tomorrow and hopefully with excellent brakes, new wheel bearings and 12 months MOT. (and a big bill :shock: :( ) I'll have to give them back the Mondeo with the dodgy fuel gauge :roll:
But the best bit is that I am now splint free so able to drive the off road course myself - being a passenger is just not the same.
I will see what i can find out about pubs etc for lunch. it needs to be kid and mud friendly i assume :?: :?:
i saw a green lwb X reg G today around by the BP filling station T/Wells thought it might be you-lots of toys inback!!
Yep sounds like mine :o , must have been on a test drive. At least you didn't see it on the M25 heading north doing 110mph. :lol:
P.S anyone want a job lot of excellent quality toys - very cheap :!:
only 7 days left to off roading at woodlands. hope you're ready to get muddy!! Has anyone got some good tow ropes if needed.
looking forward to meeting you all
well, i am all set to see you all on sunday.
i just need to know where it is?
anyone got a map?
:D
Jedbroadley There is a good map on the Woodlands website, less than an hour from canterbury!!! Hope this helps see you there Sunday
Looking forward to sunday, lets go play in the mud :!: :D see you there :!:
what a day was had at woodlands by all (6 gwagon) in the mud. this was my first time driving off road, i had only been told last week that no way should you attempt to do the black runs in a gwagon!!
All i can say is MANY THANKS to Ian and Mark for spending time and patience with me.
I was doing the black runs and without any damage to my gwagon.
hope every got home safe, thanks to everyone for coming
Excellent day. As always, good to meet everyone. Lots of fun playing in the mud.
Drove most the tracks with my fingers crossed and eyes closed. :lol:
A very good play and pay site. Major highlight of the day was seeing Shauny & Dawny’s immaculate G covered in mud. :shock: :wink:
Thanks Michael for setting this up, looking forward to the next one.
Any pictures ???
easy site really, although without diff locks, would have become interesting, some good axles twisters, mark took the piss by doing the black runs with his newly aquired roof tent atttached. Good friendly bunch of people there as well.
We had a great time too and loved the fact that the immaculate blue beast is now muddy - inside and out :!:
THANKS Mark for the exciting ride round the deepest muddy bits, challenging in places I think (especially with your eyes closed and fingers crossed):x
And of course great to see the others, Ian, Jed and friends and Michael, thanks for the tec advice re my misfiring G etc :!:
easy site really, although without diff locks, would have become interesting, some good axles twisters, mark took the p**s by doing the black runs with his newly aquired roof tent atttached. Good friendly bunch of people there as well.

Cliff
Im impressed Helen, well done on photos :lol:
hi all
had a great time, not sure how I am going to bend the back bumper back into shape though.. :D It appears that the escape lane from the black run was more dangerous than the run itself.. oooops
car is still covered in mud, both inside and out even after six minutes with a jethose at the ARC carwash.
I have some photos I will put up when I get a chance.. :)
My two friends I dragged along are now shopping for a little suzuki they can strip down and wont mind if they break it.. :) I suppose I can tow it home when they do. :)
Cheers and great to meet people. :)
Thanks Helen for the photo the wife(Karen) is going to take a copy and frame it. If you need any help on the car just pm me your number. thanks Michael
Give me your address and i will print it off and send it to you.

Hi Shauny,
Yes it would be possible to take your caravan!
There dosen't seem to be many people interested in the weekend - how about just meeting up on the Sunday?
