Fruit_uk Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Would there be any interest in a meeting/gathering of people who taken part in Rally Raid type events or are interested in taking the plunge. I would like to think that the likes of Bowler and Rally Raid UK would be interested in showing their cars and perhaps giving a presentation plus others who have taken the privateer route into the sand could share their experiences and perhaps ease the passage for others to come. As well as exchanging information it might be a pleasant thing to do to put some faces to the names on the site. Depending on numbers I could probably offer a venue for a meeting later in the year. Interested? Fruit PS the navigator seat is still available for the El Chott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are coming over for the same purpose, see some race and some car builders, it is a short notice so I doubt that a lager event can be arranged but it could be exactly what we where looking for, we are going to see North for the D-lander, Bowler and The Tom Cat people, we are looking for something build on a std or slightly modifyed chassis otherwise we wont get it on the road in DK and that we have to as our events are like a normal rally with transport legs on public roads and then timed SS in quarrys woods and farmingland, so it has to be 100% road legal with all the mods written in the vehichles papers. By the does anybody with a D-lander live within reasonable distance off the venue?? Kind regards Ole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Webster Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I'd agree with Steve, Ole - unless you are keen to stay Land Rover - Milner's machines are lovely bits of kit and very well built. It sounds like your events are much like our Hillrally events in the UK, which are the events that I do. I'd love to find out more about your events they sound fun! If you are coming to the Baja, say Hi - you can't miss us we are in the Discovery disguised as a cow! H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either should be possible - should be easy enough to camp either at Builth Wells or up on Sweet Lamb. Builth Wells and Rhayader both have a number of hotels and guest houses. Drop a line to the organisers - I am sure they will be only too keen to help. If not I'll PM you my number in case you have any problems. We should be there from Thursday night with any luck.

If you're camping up at Sweetlamb don't fogrt to take a battery hammer drill, that what some who where camping last weekend used to put their tent pegs in Or you could walk 100 yards and look for a flat spt on the hills.
