Hi Marsie,

Are you entered, i have just sent our entry of i am going to bitch for Glyn and team with Twiggy and Son should be a good day

change of plan, you can now enter with hydro-steer so teaming with Alan Kemp

Glyn can team with Twiggy and find another bitch, i think he will be handicaped enough without me

I thought it said no portals on the reg's or is Mr Kemp up to something we don't know about?

It also lasts for 9 hours which is about 7 hours more than yours has lasted lately John

Then again 9 hours is a lot of fuel at todays prices.

Portals and hydrosteer are now allowed as they have introduced class syetms the same as AWDC. Twigg baby, if you are worried about fuel, they have some suzuki's on site, I am sure they would let you borrow one or two of those

Chris you sound worried,

He's worried he is going to run out of excuses

it was getting hot

the starter broke

steering pumps gone

the alternater broke

my bitch had to much to drink (two day's before)

the list goes on

I'm worried you're going to turn Turtle sgain in front of me, my ribs still hurt from last time.

Well the excuse could be "it's only 5 miles from home and we've not had chance to wake up yet"
or
"I kept hearing this twanging noise and thought Robin Hood was shooting at me with arrows", but it turned out to be Saleys cam belt breaking again!

But seriously lads it will be a good day out for some serious fun and competiton in the beautiful Cheshire countryside and help out a well deserving Land rover club.

Hopefully the trophys not to big for mantlepiece this time, she goes mad and told me not to win to many this year especially as there's a pair of them, AND THATS YER EXCUSE

Boothy out

marsie, do you know if james toyne is entering?

As far as i know Eric and James are entering.Should be a good warm up for the TFC but wont have to do too much damage cos we will only have a couple of weeks to put it straight .Spoke to Barney last night and we decided it would be a good idea to let all classes in instead of limiting it to non portals etc.After all,the last time it was run portals were allowed cos Alan was there
Paul

We heard the twang of timing belts from across the valley at Walters Arena! Did'nt realize that was Saley again!!

I think we will also be entering this one if we can find a standard team mate... Daf.....

NO NO NO You have all got it so wrong, The 'TWANG' you all heard was the leash on twiggys truck snapping as he has never got that far away from his trailer before,His long list of excuses has allways kept him near to it, Shure his next one will be that his steering bar has bent c'os i not made him a super strong one,

And whats your excuse for not making the super strong one or is a month not long enough?

Dear red90,

You have got me mixed up with someone else, that is the first timing belt i have ever had snap

And we came second didnt we Paul or was it third

Didnt you break the oil something or other last time at WA? I remember following a trail of oil for a couple of KM after the night stage last year...

It was the pipe from engine to oil cooler

the year before it was the rear locker crown wheel an pinion

so this year made it a hatrick

Think we came second mate despite being last on the saturday nite all due to being the first into the bog and clearing the way for everybody else
Paul

Is the entrants list out yet,

we need to see the competition, so we know who to nobble,

fill em full of Boddingtons, it's pleasant nobble but effective,

Hey Carl?, never again Hurst

nobble me please, nobble me

Twiggy can you afford that many cans of Boddingtons

Just had a text message from the competition secretary of the BADRLC saying that as far as he knows, the event is still on.

But as he is on holiday at the moment, he can't confirm until next week.

I will try and contact him again next week and post up any reply.

Entry list so far, come on guys, lets have a few more. This is a really good site with trees, gullys, bog, probably a speed bit, lets have a few more entries and make this worthy of a regular event. We need more of these ooop north given the high cost of transport these days.

Alan Kemp and John sales
Glyn Yates and Chris Booth
Nick Bird and Dafydd Belton
Tony Baskill and A. Wormald
Simon Essam and Alan sharpe
Eric Toyne and Dave Green

Need to call the event organiser.

I would fail on some regs, side exit exhaust for one.

We have a reciprocal invite from our challenge event earlier in the year.

depends on whether the scrutineer is prepared to be tolerant for invited clubs.

Our event clicky

So do you not need co drivers for this event?you cant manage without us so give us credit for what we do,
Carl, (a bitter co driver)

The entry list is on our website badlrc website and we will update it as and when they are finalised

Sorry Carl, I copied it from Devon. Dont know all the co-drivers names

Hi,

does anyone know if spectators are allowed?

thanks Emma

Hello emma,
dont see why not but ping marsie a pm just to check,
Carl.

Spectators should be ok but please bear in mind that
Motorsport is potentially Dangerous and because of this you are present at your own risk
if everybody is sensible everybody should have a good day.

Cant see it being a problem Half the guys entering from our club have side exit pipes

As for spectators,the site is big enough for spectators to get a good view without putting themselves in danger(thats the winch bitches job )Oh and did i mention i am in a winch bitches seat this weekend

humm, that's just down the road, is it free to come and watch for a bit? Would be interested in watching, would you need a 4x4 to watch? As mine is off the road at the moment!

you wouldnt need a 4x4 to spectate but it is quite a large site to walk around
Paul

Those of you that are coming to either compete or spectate we have added details to the challenge page on our website BADLRC Website some directions and details that should help you find us.

Sorry, Not into that 'chase me' stuff, Saley does a good version of the Y.M.C.A,
Carl.

id pay money to see him do that

oh, carl a little birdy...no big bird told me toay that your o the energy drinks already
whys that, cant you keep up with the younger ones as you progress in life

No its just that saley is lasey and doe's nothing, A big bird? bet twiggy looks the part dresed up as one,
Carl.

nope, it really didnt suit him

so twiggy
what's the excuse for your overall result ?
was the lucky charm thong, not so lucky ???

lol...

when we snapped a few ropes.. we should have used chris' leopard print g string to pull us round...


bottom place due to a knackered CV on 2nd punch... then spending too long fixing it for it to break again on the first punch after we fixed it


and then twiggy's front winch went.. so we had to drag his extra 4 cylinders over us.. and his extra body mass...

(glynn yate's bitch for the day)

Loved the format of this event, apart from a few transit route holdups, there was no queing or waiting for punches. Thanks to the organisers great job. Look forward to the 2 dayer in November. Will be a lot more winching then with wet ground

Cheers Kev for stepping in at the last minute, geat effort and will be calling you again in the future if you are available....

Fantastic day!

Have to agree with Alan about the format, it worked very, very well.

No queueing for punches, the only waiting time was at control to pick up another punch number. Really good format, makes a nice change from the free-for-all that you usually get on other events.

The punch card could have been a little more substantial, but hey, got to have something to moan about!

Plus we surprised ourselves with 4th place, very happy with that.

The only damage was to Daf's front wing. His truck now looks as if it has actually been used for the purpose intended!
