Err I think you guys might want to see this course before prommises of bacon rolls are made ph34r.gif On the other hand I will be on standby with a winch rope tongue.gif

The course at the B&W was built to be challenging, if it's wet it will be very challenging. That said if someone knows what thay are doing a disco on AT's can get round but the driver needs to choose their route with care otherwise they will end up with wheels dangling in the air laugh.gif It was built to be fun with experienced drivers in mind and there are many parts where you can pick your route depnding on your and your vehicles ability.

At last years B&W show we had a couple of guys from the Cammel club giving passenger rides for us for 4 days and they were still out playing on it after the show had finished. It's been designed to be a challenge to an experienced driver. I know it as well as anyone and it still makes me grip the seat with my a**e in a few places smile.gif We have bridges, rock crawls, sleeper steps, log mounds to climb, lots of side slopes including a 180 wall of death, lots of axle twisters, steep drops through the woods, the Xtreme ballencing see saw, more steep drops, and if we have time a tunnel ph34r.gif I will post up some more pics when I find them.

i am hoping to get up there for a bit

So Neil Challenging like the Interclub Sunday sections i take it?

Err James the idea is to drive round the course not winch round it! I was looking at a new bit of ground on sat with Matt that will make a very interesting extreme route :ph34r:

Chris, Live are the correct people to speak to, i'm only involved in the course, not the show.

you had to winch on the interclub??

its just that Extreme definition again!

From everything i have heard it is a very very good course, it just depends what you class as butt clenching and 'experienced driver'!

Oh I suppose you just drove all those sections while setting out with your 110 :P I'm obviously not as Extreme as you, Tony still had 2 axles on his motor at the end of the event :lol:

Seriously I know what you mean about defining butt clenching and Extreme but I guarantee that anyone who drives the course will have to think about what they are doing and they will be grinning like a vilage idiot at the end of it. I did suggest to Matt that we painted the harder sections orange!

Will be good to see you all there.

As for Marshalls, We will need them so if anyone would like to help out please PM me,

Marshalls will be needed for sat and sun but are welcome to arrive on friday, we will provide camping, show entry and a BarBQ on sat night with some beer :) Marshalls will also have access to the course before and after the show.

We will need you to attend for a day prior to the show (at a weekend) for a training day.

Hi there,

Sorry for the ignorance but i have not seen this advertised before!

What size is the show, compared to billing? is it half the size, all the size?

Im very intersted in going and are planning a trip with some freinds, im just after a warm fuzzy feeling of what to expect before i agree to spend any time in the car with them!

Has any trade stands confirmed yet?

Cheers

Neil
