Heres the location:

[url=http://www.multimap.com/maps/#t=l&map=53.6721,-2.18614|16|4&ib=favourites|savedfavourite]Cowm Quarry[/url]

The roro was the one that winched me out of the mud, really nice chap who stopped and came back for me when i sank in the mud! there was a complete family in there (about 5 people) all escaped un hurt. Was a nice vehicle up to that point we were following him round getting ready to pull him out incase he got stuck on the long deep wading crossing he was going to try.

Have to say its 25 quid for a full day there, and its well worth it! theres a butty van that does superb bacon and sausage butties. there are marshalls driving round all the time just keeping a check on stuff, and there were a couple of st johns ambulance people there as well. Its last sunday on every month and we will be returning. Maybe possibly a G club day out?

Cheers simon
