Thames Valley Off Road day - March 9th. All welcome!

[Kermit power]

Afternoon Folks...

I have instigated an off-road session on the TV&S forum - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Needless to say, whilst the site is in the Thames Valley, next door to the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermarston to be precise, all are welcome to join us wherever you are. Check the TV&S thread for all the details, but it's basically turn up, pay £26 and play in the mud all day, with graded areas depending on your experience and your choice of vehicle/tyres, plus they have marshals to hopefully keep you out of too much trouble, or pull you out of any trouble you do get into!

We're probably also going to do a green lanes outing on Salisbury Plains.

I'd love to go on the PH Off Roading trip, but my inconsiderate sister is having her baby christened on the 9th Hopefully there will be more of them which I'll be able to join in on though

There will definitely be more of them! Lots of fun at a fraction of the cost of a track day!

May be there - I'll have to check on their terms & conditions regarding child passengers.

Their safety stuff is here, and their rules are here

It's pretty comprehensive in telling you everything you can and can't do, including telling you that you are responsible for your children while they are on the site and that all adult and child passengers must be wearing seatbelts, but no mention is made of not having kids, or having a minimum age, so I would assume you're fine.

I won't bring mine on a full day just yet because they're only 5 and 2, but they've enjoyed the little bits we've done so far.

We've not yet drawn up a formal list, but I reckon there should be at least half a dozen of us or more. I'm off to Slab Common on Sunday with the Pajero UK Owners Club as well, which should be a laugh!

Yep, this Sunday.You can pull me out when i get stuck.

You should be easy to spot in that! I can't imagine there are many places a Unimog would get stuck!

Could anyone who wants to come along on the pay and play day please pootle over to add their names to the list in the Thames Valley thread?

The joining details are pretty much just going to be "turn up at the venue at 9", as we're not exactly going to be making a point of B road hooning to get there considering what we'll be taking!
