Adrian Turner Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Seven SistersSeven Sisters is widely regarded as the best and most varied off-roading site the UK has to offer. - I would'nt say it was that, in fact IMHO it a bit of a boring site and i think there are much better site's out there, Cown and Kirton for a start are more challenging, But that's just my opinion.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I have to say I havn't been there and *not* discovered something I hadn't seen and tried before! My visits have got to be heading into the double figures now, and to me, with a good mixture of mud, slopes, rocks and water makes for a good site B) Have a great time everyone, we'll be thinking of you! (JU, don't break it, I want a ride in Eddie when I get back - in exchange for cookies of course B) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Now this is tempting....... A relatively stock Range/Series 3 would be alright here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you mean streams - which are NOT safe to drink? IMHO it a bit of a boring site and i think there are much better site's out there, Cown and Kirton for a start are more challenging, But that's just my opinion. I guess you have just not seen the best bits of the site Adrian. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy2268 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Am hopefully booked to go, but have not yet seen confirmation of either my joining SLRC at Billing, or my payment for the 7S weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_M Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Now this is tempting....... A relatively stock Range/Series 3 would be alright here? Should be fine, I took my series 3 lightweight upto the last SLRC event at 7S and had a good weekend, we also had a pretty much standard disco and a daihatsu sportrak in our little group.

V8CAMEL Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 The site caters for all sorts. from showroom condition to tricked up competition trucks Even if like me all you have is a basic series vehicle you can have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Am hopefully booked to go, but have not yet seen confirmation of either my joining SLRC at Billing, or my payment for the 7S weekend Stumpy (and anyone else who's booked in / joined up) - our events officer is on his hols at the moment so your entry form is most likely sat in his place anyone sending a for at the moment if they could send it to Rich Hawes (DLander) - I don't have his address to hand but I'll post it up ASAP. Bowie - yes a relatively stock vehicle will be fine, I spent all weekend trundling round in my stock RR and there were many others in pretty stock vehicles having a good time. Chris - I think we had a water supply with us last time, if nothing else there was tea & coffee which is enough to survive Adrian - thanks for the positive input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protoprincess Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Is there a LPG station anywhere close by? please please say yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumpy2268 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Is there a LPG station anywhere close by?please please say yes There is an LPG station quite local to the site - or so I am told by Orange. If not, we too will be spectating, as Stumpy runs on only LPG and carrying a spare bottle around is not an option Adrian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Is there a LPG station anywhere close by?please please say yes I can always tow you behind the 109, shouldn't affect my MPG (This offer is not open to everyone, before I end up with a convoy of landies tied to the back of the 109) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WALFY Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Sounds good to me. Perhaps you should buy a Zil, like on Jez's last post. Check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Those who have paid, you will receive info etc. closer to the day, basically rather than send out in dribs and drabs we send out all at once, we will post something when packs have gone out (usually post them 2-3 weeks beforehand) so if you don't get one you can contact us then to get it sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
