4x4bigstu Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Two day challenge to be held at Wellington and Huntsham on 10th and 11th of may. Wellington will be used saturday, sat night special stage will be held at Huntsham and sunday at Huntsham. Camping avalable at Wellington friday night and Huntsham saturday With much thanks to Simon and the Team at Devon 4x4 for sponsoring the CSW 2 day Challenge again this year. For those who have competed at a CSW 2 day Challenge before will know it should be another good weekend to put your vehicle & team to the test over 2 days and 1 night. We will be catering for the novice as much as the pro's amongst you, which should make it interesting for us setting up, but that does not mean to say you can expect an easy time of it! There will of course be the night section to look forward too, Chris does like to test you all, More details to follow. ___________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4x4bigstu Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 Unfortunately it seems we have clashed directly, or too closely with several other events and along with a significant number of clashes with members personal comitments we have not received enough entries to cover the costs of this event. We shall therefore be postponing the Challenge event on the 10th & 11th May till a date later in the year. We are at present trying to sort a 1 day Challenge on the 11th at Huntsham with the option to also to camp on the Sat night and if we can cover the land costs maybe a night section as well. I hope to confirm this tommorrow latest. If anyone else is interested in taking part in the 1 day event can you respond to me by email or phone by tommorow evening please so I can confirm numbers. If you know of anyone else who might be interested in a 1 day challenge please pass this on and get them to reply also. The 1 day event will be at the normal pre-paid rate of £35 up until Sunday night and £45 thereafter and for non club members. There may also a small charge for the night stage/camping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MudMuppet Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Is it Ok to come along as a spectator on sunday? and does it cost anything? I have looked for priestly wood but can't seem to find it on the maps, will there be signs up for the event from huntsham? I have space for 1 if anyone wants a lift (from taunton, somerset), or better still if anyone wants a fit, strong but basically clueless assistant for the event I volunteer!

MudMuppet Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Spectators are welcome but would be advised please not to enter the site with your vehicles as you will impede progress for the competitors. Great I want to come along and check out the event as I am currently prepping my 90 to hopefully take part in future challenges, where is it safe to park without annoying the locals if there is no room on site? An fun event, definately worth taking the time out to attend. I was impressed by the thought that had gone into the special stages, and into setting an event that could cater for both the experienced heavily modified teams and still leave plenty to do for the standard vehicle. And VERY impressed with the inclusion of a burger van! Thanks all for making me feel welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderman Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 A huge thanks and well done to Chris Pedlar ,Chris Bolt and all the Challenge South West crew who put on a spectacular event this weekend , with some well thought out punch locations that involved more brains than brawn to acheive . The Special stages were good fun also were the night stages on the sat . The campsite was excellent with everything laid on to make the stay more enjoyable , and thanks to Pod for amusing us with his snoring chorus , had us in fits And thanks to the Met office for supplying the excellent weather .
