GBMUD Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I will be out over this weekend testing routes and looking for clues to set for our treasure hunt. I said initially that the route will be suitable for Freelanders and, if there are any coming, I will make sure that it is. If there are none coming then I can set it without having to worry about low spoilers, exhausts and such - I know that there will be some shineys there so I will try to avoid tight lanes as far as possible. Please just let me know if you are bringing anything low, incapable or if I need to know anything particular. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Bar Cowboy Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Chris, If you are thinking spoilers then it will be good to know if any folk are bringing Disco 2's or P38A's Unfortunately I am busy on that day, othwise I would have come along ............ hope all goes well.

Chris Scott not available as my navigator, so anyone interested in sitting in the RH seat of the NAS very welcome! Being a V8 the heater works even in the coldest climate, as Mr Watts will confirm!

V8 Freak Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hi Chris.... Coming across in the 110. Not raised or anything special. Will have MT's on and not worried about a few (more) scratches... No winch so will be reliant on others if we get stuck ! Will have laptop/gps/memory map and friend as co-driver... Will also have some cameras to capture some of the event for all..... Looking forward to it... (Steve, if you are going, want to go over in convoy ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Well was going to be the 110, but that's gone, so probably a shinny 90 on generals !! along with the bear, daughter & dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No winch needed but some of the army training area will be muddy so best have a towrope and a good recovery point - just in case.

Chris [GULP] Notes..... Ropes, recovery points, courage, clean pants....... (Mobile phone, Ralphs number, Ralphs other number....) U recon these recovery points will suffice or do I go out and buy a big front bumper ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I will be bringing the D1, the wife, and possibly another friend... Not sure if that helps you, me or in fact anyone... Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 Chris, where are we all meeting up? Yet to be decided. In the interests of fairness I though perhaps Andover-ish and Mere-ish as start and end points so that those coming from the west cannot moan about having to go further and neither can those from the east. Have no fear, you will get the details - one way or another.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 We'll be in the Camel ...or maybe the Mini if the Camel breaks down ...oh, and I'll bring Chococalte of course Winches, recovery gear and a roof tent encase we get *really* stuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi110 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Gents, BigSi is up for this too, if that's OK with you. Me, little-muddy-plugger and wifey-muddy-plugger - probably. Just standard well-maintained 110 as far as recovery points go, plus towbar, phone and food. Not that worried about a few little scratches. Can you guys cope with a filthy sense of humour and excellent chocolate brownies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Sure Chris will be along to correct But I believe their is now a reverse list for "entrants" as due to certain "rules" a max number of 12 vehicles, my last reading of the list is something like below ! Marshalling/assistants: 1. V8 Camel 2. DieselJim (if I need him) 3. Dr Goon 4. Teams so far: 1. White90 2. JST (still in negotiation for a playing out pass) 3. Marcus 4. TJ101 5. V8 Freak 6. Bishbosh 7. DefcoL 8. Trainspotter 9. Honiton Hobbit (In pen!) 10. V8Bertha 11. NAS90 12. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
