If so, can you email me the details :) - gordon@teamdumzim.co.uk

Many thanks to Matt and team for putting on a good event at a site that has not seen a winch since 2006....

Nice to drive on terrain that has not been played to death, and will not be touched again until next year. Big site, and I don't expect to drive on any of the areas used today next time!!

And thanks also to Baggy & crew for the BBQ.

I was struggling all day getting grip and put it down to the old Simex's I'm running (didn't have time to change em'), then at 2.30 found out the centre diff was not engaging and i had done the full day in 2WD,

But a cracking site, bit risky in places and parking was not good, but good day and superb weather, lost my bottle a bit on punch 13 when the rope broke 3 times on a horrible long risky punch and all I could see was 13, bit like the Omen.

Great day thanks to all concerned. smile.gif

It was an excellent event - Alan and I throughly enjoyed it, even if we were the only class 3 motor. Thanks to all of the organisers - and everyone else who made us feel very welcone.

For those of you who saw me hobbling around with my twisted ankle - its just been x-rayed and is broken. So I'm now in plaster and on crutches :( Still i maaned to walk on it for 48 hours :blink:

Twiggy & John, all noted I was trying hard to keep everyone together, quite a lot of small tress had sprouted since we did the recce a couple of months ago and the grass area was not as hard as I was told it was. sorry we had to split some of you up.
