FridgeFreezer Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Shire Land Rover Club cordially invite you all to come and enjoy a dirty weekend at the excellent Walters Arena in Wales, also known as the venue for King Of The Valleys.We're a family-friendly club and the site is suitable for all vehicles & abilities.The campsite is Dan-Yr-Ogof showcaves just down the road from Seven Sisters and just over the road from an excellent pub (leave the pot noodle at home!), or you can lodge elsewhere if you'd rather.As always, £5 from each booking goes to Hampshire & Isle Of Wight Air Ambulance. See www.7sisters.co.uk for info & online booking.Here's a rather good video from a previous outing to whet your appetite:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeCayrekpfIAnd another: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'd really like to go to Walters arena, but it's quite far away and a lot of money compared to kirton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydiesel Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'd really like to go to Walters arena, but it's quite far away and a lot of money compared to kirtonI wouldn't have thought it would have been that much further than kirton for you Lewis.And whilst it is quite a lot of money its a very very large site that is eye wateringly expensive to rent. I'm viewing it as more of a once a year, somewhere completely different to offroad, the scale if not technical difficulty of the site is quite something. Although I do find it disappointing that camping isn't allowed on the site, its tolerable for a one off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'd love to go again this year, still looking for a co-driver though. When do the bookings have to be in? One of these days I presume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Booking closes Wednesday 24th if you pay by PayPal. Would be good to see you there, haven't seen the Belgium contingent for a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Oh, that's quite late, excellent. Gives me some time then Yeah, it would be good to see you guys again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Davies Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've just booked, looking forward to it. What are folks doing evening meal wise? Do you all go to the pub or bring food to BBQ/cook at the camp site. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbekko Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Booked We'll only be there with one car though, so it'd be nice if we could join up with some people that won't mind a fairly standard P38 tagging along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Chris - most of us go to the pub over the road from the campsite as they are very friendly, the food's good, and it saves having to wash up. For lunch people nip off site to the town and either buy pasties / sandwiches or visit a burger van or cafe. elbekko - I'm sure we can find someone, there were 2 p38's and a couple of freelanders last time.

Chris Davies Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 elbekko, I (possibly we) will be in one vehicle too, a fairly standard 90 and will not be able to be going too extreme so happy to tag along with other similarly (un?)adventurous folk. Thanks Fridge, didn't want to be assuming I would be pubbing only to find out that everyone else stays on site and I would have to wonder off alone, a friendless lonely soul Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elbekko Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Bookings now closed! The 127 is loaded up and ready to go, I'll see you all up there! Will you be towing the 109 behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Will you be towing the 109 behind it? I wish! For now it's just the 127, hopefully by the next 7S I'll have had a bit of a chance to get the 109 back on the road. Mind you, the camper conversion seems to have moved itself up the to-do list somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 MOT passed! Hopefully all ready for tomorrow, I don't suppose anyone has a spare bolt or two that holds a QT diff guard on to the diff possibly? Happy to pay, I just can't get to a supplier in time tomorrow!

elbekko Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Had a great week-end, I hope your transfer box bodge made it back in one piece Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It was great being back out there! Seeing some old friend and making new ones, and had a wonderfull weekend. Filip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Davies Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Had a fantastic weekend in spite of a slight disagreement between a rock and my transfer box. By the time I had finished having a little panic the Belgian contingent had a tarpaulin out and were under the car with a socket set. The fix held up very well, no problems on the way home and not the slightest signs of leaking, still looking good this morning although I think I will be ordering a gasket any minute now and digging out a spare plate. Great to meet everyone Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
