gaz489 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 whens that...? do you have any more details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 My personal advice to you, is go along to an event and watch It'll give you an idea of what happens. Also shows you how other teams work. When you start challenging you don't have time to sit and watch others G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz489 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 iv marshalled for the howlin wolf and xl challenge and know what goes on and what it involves.... im only 23 but i have an experienced winch man. i was just after any local events or challenges i can enter just to get started... or even ones a little further away that would be good for a beginner :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yella 90 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 lrs is a good starter, theres pleanty of mixed ability and the punches vary from simple enough to do in a car, right upto very spicey stuff to keep the wild ones occupied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 There will be a round of the challenger series at coney green farm near stourport - it's still a bit of a trek for you, but it's a good competition to get involved in. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyb Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 watching others , we usually stop for lunch and for Will to be sick after too much beer the night before and still get a place on the podium at the end of the series :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
