JST Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 We had the last Bampton Drive Round Day (DRDs) on Sunday with J33P and now its time to give the tracks a rest and move back to the Wellington site. DRDs will start with the first one on 31 May 08. There are currently 6 places available. The day is an escorted convoy drive across private land on purpose made tracks and typically starts at 1030hrs with a 1530/1600hrs finish. All the sections are optional with bypass routes as required depending on your ability/experience/preference. Quite a few from here have completed the days in the past and enjoyed their time out with us, you can read about the days from the event writeup here by choosing any of the Wellington Site reports. Your vehicles must be road legal and comply with my vehicle requirements. There are previous posts and pictures here. The days are £35 per vehicle and you must pre register which can be done by emailing or PMing me for an entry form . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi James, Yes please- will send £30 to use up the £5 credit if that is ok? I think my vehicle should just about comply with the requirements! (Still won't stop me getting stuck!) Where are we doing breakfast??

ThreePointFive Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I'd like to attend if possible. I am on the hunt for MTs as we speak and I should have them by then, but if I can't get them fitted to my rims in time or for any other reason I can't get my act together, would I be allowed to use the Special Tracks? If not, and I don't have the new tyres, can I marhsall or something? When do you want payment by? As a total offtopic but not worth a new post, where is a good place to get tyres fitted/balanced? I paid Land Rover for it last time and it wasn't cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milemarker Type S Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 James just for planning purposes... I may still not have a functioning winch by then (problem a little more expensive than first thought!)... Not sure if that makes a difference to routes etc?

Guest WALFY Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 James just for planning purposes... I may still not have a functioning winch by then (problem a little more expensive than first thought!)... Not sure if that makes a difference to routes etc?Si Si I think James is away at the moment for a couple of weeks. As for the route, when I led a group on the last DRD there were bypasses to all the obstacles. Plus there is always somone to pull you in either direction. I shouldn't worry to much about it.

ThreePointFive Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 The weather for Thursday-Sunday is meant to be good according to the MET office site... At least the ground won't be dry and boring and we won't get soaked either, perfect! I'm looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemarker Type S Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Head gasket is done- though I think I have killed my turbo as per the thread in International. James I am intending on heading up in any case- turbos are for wimps anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milemarker Type S Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The magic of a self healing turbo... No idea why but it now works again!! A week of replacing the head gasket whilst working nights at the same time- and finally finishing the truck at 11pm the night before was all made worthwhile with what was a top day out! The sun shone all day as well! Big thanks to James- and to all those who attended and made the day what it was. Recommended for off roaders new and experienced alike!
