Just over a week till round one at Slindon sponsored by the good people at Goodwinch. We have had a flurry of last minute entries, please DO NOT pay by bank transfer, this option has now closed as we are unable to validate payments. Entries can still be paid for via PayPal, however this option will only be available for a couple of days or so as we are very close to being fully booked. If you want to enter please do ASAP or you will be disappointed. We are still looking for marshals, if you are able to help please let me know, we will feed and water you, and give you a natty orange bib to wear and their will of course be the marshall raffle.

Only five weeks to go until round one, if you plan to enter, and wish to avoid disappointment, please get your forms in ASAP. All details are on our website, http://www.mud-monsters.co.uk/Mud-Monsters/Winch_Challenges.html

You can just turn up on the day we were only doing the pre-book thing to ensure we had enough entries to make the day viable.

Website updated with all the info on the family punch hunt at Slindon on the 15th of Feb. http://mud-monsters.co.uk/Mud-Monsters/News/Entries/2015/2/15_Slindon_Family_Punch_Hunt.html

We are holding a family punch at Slindon near Chichester in sunny West Sussex on the 15th of Feb. The event is suitable for standard vehicles up to full on challenge spec, the idea is to find as many punches as you can, some will be easily accessible others will require some off road skill, there will be a few you can only get with a winch and a couple of full on winch sections, hopefully something for everyone. Cost of the event is £35 per vehicle for members, day membership is available for a additional £5 Full details can be found on our website, http://tinyurl.com/MM-Punch

The dates for this year are as follows, hope some of you can make it to enter, marshal or spectate. Round 1 29th March Slindon, near Chichester - West Sussex. Round 2 24th May S.O.R.E Essex - Suffolk. Round 3 26th July Tixover - Rutland Round 4 6th Sept East Grinstead - West Sussex. More info on our website, http://mud-monsters.co.uk/Mud-Monsters/Calendar___Contact.html

Only three weeks until this event and places are booking up, if you wish to take part please register at http://mud-monsters.co.uk/Mud-Monsters/Downloads.html

Round three will be held at our own site set in 130 acres of beautiful East Sussex countryside just out side East Grinstead. For those that have not been to us before we have everything you could possibly want at a offroad site, rivers to drive along and cross, water obstacles, bomb holes, rutted tracks through the woodland, gullies and side slopes, our man made obstacles, and of course mud ! For those that have been before we have added a new section to the site that has never been driven, and have added new routes to some of the existing challenge areas and of course we have the new redoubtable "Logstacle" that should separate the men from the boys. The site will be open from early Saturday morning for those wishing to camp and we'll be having a bit of a party on Saturday night for those wising to party. Please book early to avoid disappointment…………. For more information please see, www.mud-monsters.co.uk

I've got one on the wifes 90, it allowed both "in" and "out" buttons to be pressed at the same time, resulting in a blown winch motor, I modifined the handset by fitting a sprung rocker switch and it's been fine since. I have seen the running on problem on a friends setup, turned out to be somone else on site with the same unit. Personaly I run a Lodar, used and abused an never had any issues.
