SPendrey Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 "Any good clubs" is subjective... but as Ross already said we meet once a month, and plan a trip out for the Sunday following. It is good if you just want a chat and a beer, and some time out in the countryside, but if you're after a competition-style or real mudplugger group then we're not it! Come along on Tuesday if you can make it... 7:30pm. As for today, there was a light sprinkling of snow and ice which made it very difficult to get through some sections where my (road standard except the tyres) Disco grounded three times! At least I left the day with the muddiest car!! Thanks as always, to John for leading the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats your general location for out and about days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPendrey Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 It is on the east side of Swindon... if you head up the A419 (from M4 J15) to the A420 turn off, then head towards Swindon (Greenbridge) you're almost there. If you look at this link, you'll see Gipsy Lane (with no less than three B4143 signs on it!), the Gas Club is on the roundabout beneath the middle of those three signs. Google Map We are normally out around your area too, Aldbourne/Lambourne/Marlborough way, or otherwise down to the Plain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
