DrRob Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 You can just turn up on the day but its not as cheap as buying in advance.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I hope the show is better than the website! One week to go and still no information in the news section? As for the how to get there map.. they have the location as in the middle of a housing estate next to Tescos. Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz0203 Posted July 11, 2010 Author Share Posted July 11, 2010 yea ive noticed that, gona have to try an find the actual adress of the place for the satnav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Billing Aquadrome is HERE. Entry off the RA shown. Tesco is about 1500m NW from the arrow where it says 'Leisure Centre'. You cannot turn up and buy a camping pass on the gate, only a day pass. There may still be private camping arrangements available the other side of the river. There is a bridge into Billing IIRC.

landroversforever Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Well seeing as I'm paying on the gate (Grange Farm Camping) then I guess I get my tickets there and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I’m surprised there are note many posted say weather people enjoyed the show and the new layout etc. I enjoyed it and had a great time thanks to the giggle pin guys for making us so welcome and the maverick 4x4 guys as well I went not planning on buying anything, how ever came away with a full stainless system for the 110 and a set of 1250 MK2’s for it along with some smaller bits and bobs. SWMBO is not a good influence, we looked at all sorts of rims as well but I couldn’t talk her into any…. Did anyone else see anything they liked?

Retroanaconda Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I found it a bit odd that I was sent left at the roundabout and had to go round the loop (through the camping fields) to get to the car park, in the past I've just gone straight ahead Was a good show, although I could have sworn there used to be more autojumble stands. Lots of goodies on offer though, and I got some bits I needed, and some bargains! Td5 dash binnacle including gauges, loom, and warning light panel for £30 anyone? Spoke to a few people I recognised, and had a chat with Si about my X-Brake, then wandered over to the off-road course for a little gander. Same as usual over there And then I went home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protoprincess Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 We were there. Us arrived late (nothing new but there was an ali bumper to finish ), rest of the crew were there from Thurdsay. We sampled some great cooking, spoke to few people and walked around the grounds. Was interested in camping equipment mostly - dont think there were as many traders there with little nick-nacks Enjoyed the camping and the company, toilets seemed clean and lot of security walking around (at least in the traders bit) Had to have some proper ice cream after catching Jules with some! All and all - had fun and there were bits and bobs to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_arthur Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Did anyone look at the red-winches We did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McS Junior Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Did anyone look at the red-winches Yes, with some interest. They look very nice and shiny, fairly quick too.... nearly died when I heard the price though, I can only assume that included the truck it was stuck too Oh, and not all that sure about their "military contracts" (not that I have any experience in that area of course...)

Top90 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Did anyone else see anything they liked? Yes, I liked the map, which was in the brochure on the LRO stand in the middle of the show. Shame it wasn't given when you paid as I spent an hour and a half wandering round without a clue where anything was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydiesel Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Good weekend, a little too much landrover tat, some nice 'cruisers there. I quite liked the look, if not the exicution of "the thug" on malcolm whitbreads stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Taken me ages to get round to doing this, sorry Map was useful, but could have made it a bit easier to find things with a clearer list. Having last months LRO mag didnt help as the layout had changed. The Red winches look rather yummy. But the price I liked the price I heard mentioned to the Lucky8 guys. Talking of which it was nice to meet you guys . Anyway, Red winch is on Xmas list First time I'd really seen the mitsimog in action so that was interesting. Bad things... Friend caught a little sh!t with a screw driver in his door lock, thankfully he has extra locks. Other things, like the security still isnt up to scratch... one of the tallest people I've met could get in without a ticket! And the sad news of the MUD 90 and others being stolen. Heard of a trader selling stolen stuff, I believe he was kicked off site. Spending money... What did I buy: X-JumpX-NutsVarious bits for the tool box - Magnetic dish, extendable magnet, wire wheels for the grinder, split pinsSpare Keys for the Cut off swtiches'landroversforever' with www.lr4x4.com in the border. number plate yes yes yes I'm a tart LED work light... made the mistake of looking at it when I turned it on... couldn't see for a few seconds!Activate for my gearbox, recommended by TJ.Offroad ticket - Money well spendt I enjoyed the course, yes its a bit tame, but didn't want to risk the journey home! I avoided the Sh!t run, as it ponged rather alot! didn't fancy driving home with that smell in the cab!Too much on food. Must plan ahead and cook for myself! Now for a few of my favourite pictures: all are in my album here: http://s439.photobucket.com/albums/qq112/landroversforever/LRO%20Billing%20Show%202010/ Jez's bumper porn Oh B*gger!

jules Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Active8 is great stuff put it in everything even auto boxes just read carefully as its dear and you don't want to waste it I've been using it for years and its limited danger when I have abused stuff.
