Madcowz Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 After a gentle drive around a field ended up with my neighbour having to tow me out with his tractor (Although it was his fault as he suggested "driving through that marshy bit there") I think I need to have a go at a Pay & Play site. I have tried Google and can't seem to find any that are near to me (Dorking area). Can anyone suggest a good site? Thanks.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 You could do worse than try shires events, not to far Hogmoor and Slab are near / at Bordon (although Hampshire only just) on the A325 south of Farnham. And there will be a few there to help you learn whats what and what to do / not to do - (and recover you) Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 There's also Piccadilly Wood, dunno how good it is but I'll be trying it out this summer hopefully, once I'm back from Uni. I'm just the other side of Crawley http://www.piccadillywood4x4.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguevogue Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Not very local but where we travel from Horsham. Slindon and Boxgrove. Well run and marshaled sites with guidance for beginners if you ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroanaconda Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 (...)You couldn't pay me to go to Picadilly Wood Could I, out of interest, ask why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyzeus Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 No marshall's. one bloke with a digger to pull you out, if he feels like it........ They allow quads, bikes. truck's that look like they came out of a scrappy for £50....... No speed limits, people speeding about over obstacles in both directions You could be going over a hill and a quad come at you at full pelt from the other direction.... NOT my idea of a decent day's playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hi, Brick Kiln is another Shire event, at Alton which isn't far from the bordon area and I think its a great little site. There's also Core4x4 in chichester, but I haven't been to this one yet. Does anybody have an opinion, review of Core4x4 site? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'll try the Slindon site first anwyay, only an hour's drive away and seems better for a relative novice such as myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neb Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Thanks guys,I like the idea of Slindon and Boxgrove, local and they cater for absolute novices who get stuck all the time. ive got worse, when i first started i actually got stuck less. i mainly go to broxhead, slab and hogmoor in bordon.

Retroanaconda Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 There are a few videos on YouTube under 'grinstead 4x4', and a Google Maps entry for it, but I can't find anything more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairyone Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 There are a few videos on YouTube under 'grinstead 4x4', and a Google Maps entry for it, but I can't find anything more than that. The organisers web site is here Mud Monsters and has a contact page. The web site give the impression it's all Suzukis, but it was a good mix when I went. They spent most of last bank holiday weekend devising new routes. I went to this one for the first time on Sunday and it's prettty good but quite informal. It's not widely advertised as the organiser doesn't want it to get too large. More info here East Grinstead Pay n Play. The Anoraks 4x4 club (as seen on Scrapheap Challenge) regularly attend and have lots of photos of the site here Anoraks Event Gallery E. Grinstead April 19th.

rusty_wingnut Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 that East Grinstead one looks good! MadCowz I do quite alot of laning in the Surrey area if you're interested. Also do Slindon/Boxgrove now and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you find out the dates for the games? Just by contacting the guy listed on the contacts page? Wherabouts in East Grinstead are you? I'm in Crawley Down, very local Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 There's also Piccadilly Wood, dunno how good it is but I'll be trying it out this summer hopefully, once I'm back from Uni. I'm just the other side of Crawley http://www.piccadillywood4x4.co.uk/ A few of us were there over Christmas and again on Easter Sunday. Definitely a site for serious tyres only in the wetter months. My half worn BFG muds really struggled with deep ruts and heavy clay One of the guys with Simexes and lockers made it look a lot easier I expect in the summer it's a whole different story.

Juz Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 You have some stunning green lanes on your doorstep - I'd seriously look at those too! If you need another truck along, I'm always happy to head over. Juz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Crawley Down, very local There's a guy on www.difflock.com "Freeski-James" who who first posted a write up of this site and he asked who was going on Apr 19th. I was free so I called the site organiser to get some details and check it was OK to turn up. I'm just off the London Road between Felbridge and the Trinity Church roundabout.
