GBMUD Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Please don't anyone imagine that I am organising this or that I am taking any responsibility for the groups, just I find that doing it this way saves a lot of time and head scratching on Saturday morning, meaning a prompt getaway and more time out on the lanes. If you do not have a preference to be in any specific group, just say so and you will be allocated randomly. Chris Navigators in BOLD TJ101/JST Sticky DarthDicky Orgasmic Farmer gbmud V8Freak Turbocharger Pete Attryde Chris123 Dalai Lama Still to be allocated to a group: ThreeSheds mickeyw Simonr RocKeR Landymanluke + Claire (Saturday only) Steve200tdi andy.cowman I know it looks like there are too many navigators but if we can we will loose Turbocharger and Pete Attryde as leaders as they may suffer reliability issues. If anyone who is going is not on this page, or vice versa, please let me know ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris123 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Cowman will be in my group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Chris I won't be able to lead a group as I am unsure if the 90 will make it to the hotel let alone around the lanes. As such can you stick me in V8Freaks group as he has offered me and the missus a seat in his if mine fails. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliability issues??? In Landrovers???? We all expect those, don't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) Pete - I put you and Turbocharger together in the hope that one of you would make it.

Pete Attryde Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Pete - I put you and Turbocharger together in the hope that one of you would make it. I thought you had a nice reliable Discovery anyway? I did until I rolled it going to work about 8 weeks ago. Since then I have been trying get a 1986 90 to a state where it is reasonably reliable, just haven't quite made it yet . Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Chris, HeadHunter doesn't have CB yet so we are potentially using a mixture of CB's and handhelds (Not on CB frequency)... Can you put HH with me as well... - DONE (hh) And.. As I owe Luke and Claire a lunch for Luke bailing me out at 1am a few weeks ago, can you plop Luke in with me as well. - DONE (hh) If the group is too big, we can see if Pete's truck is holding up and potentially double up in either HH's truck or in mine as both will have spare seats. Failing that, one of the trucks could join another group etc. See you Friday for a beer or two, maybe three, or maybe a few more ! Neil (Definitely not sipping Sloe Gin with Si R and Tim this time.. The mix of drinks and the early bedtime made Sunday afternoon a bit of a stretch last time...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSheds Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 No preference (since I don't know anybody anyway) If it helps the decision - I have a RRC v8 with CB, Memory Map, MT tyres, recovery points & strops etc but no winch. I also have a spare seat and a couple of PMR hand held radios. Not much green-lane experience though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.cowman Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Cowman will indeed tag along with Chris123... I suggest people who like getting lost join us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (Definitely not sipping Sloe Gin with Si R and Tim this time.. The mix of drinks and the early bedtime made Sunday afternoon a bit of a stretch last time...) its alright Rocker will be there this time as well to keep everyone in place - so thats 4 bottles of Port needed?

mickeyw Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 No preference (since I don't know anybody anyway) If it helps the decision - I have a RRC v8 with CB, Memory Map, MT tyres, recovery points & strops etc but no winch. I also have a spare seat and a couple of PMR hand held radios. Not much green-lane experience though. I don't mind who I'm grouped with, I'll be in my V8 90, MTs, recovery point & strops but WITH winch. No spare seat as SWMBO will be occupying it and hopefully operating MM. No PMRs but hopefully a CB, will find out if it works when I try to talk to someone. Plenty of laning experience. Plan to be at hotel about 7-ish tomorrow.

ThreeSheds Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Since I am travelling on Saturday morning, could somebody PM me their mobile number please, so I can let you know if I break down or anything happens that means I won't make it - I would hate to think of people waiting for me..

GBMUD Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Threesheds, you have a PM. If anyone else would like my mobile number, please PM me and I will let you know. I am NOT an organiser though! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 in Llangollen? Wow! You laugh! O2 doesn't work in Hay on wye which is similar in size to Llangollen and not nearly as hilly! I am not saying that phones won't work, just that there is a possibility that they won't work everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 It's OK Mark, I have international roaming enabled. Chris Well Chris, it looks like there are enough group leaders - or else nobody wants to be in my group! I'm happy to take whoever turns up as an overflow group, or just join another lot if there are still no takers. We'll be leaving Bristol about 4pm tomorrow, and we're booked in for evening meal. Really looking forward to a relaxing and fun weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ101 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Holy cr@p.... That's me dead in the water then! Neil (soon to be known as "lightweight" ) Well, got in at last !!! Hey lightweight opps Neil,, its be alright,, Rocker port is good stuff !!! or at least what he had at Shepton show,, Best you drive James ,,on Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 It's not booked but when I asked, they said it would be no issues to look after us in the evening if we let them know as we arrived sort of thing. I'll probably just eat in the hotel Friday night and hope they have a decent ale or two. carp beer will probably make me consider walking into town to find a pub... As for "Good Stuff" Tim.... Any port stuff is what I'm worried about. Never had such bad hangovers with anything else... See you tomorrow. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Heading off now see you all at our start point tomorrow 09.00 The Wild Pheasant Hotel A5 just to the N West of Llangollen on the left 500 metres from the town. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
