Guest Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 As I have said before, great news, this was a really good show the first time around and was a shame it didn't happen last year. Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookers Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hello Their, Is this going to be @ the Bristol & West show ground ??? It will be at the Bath and West Showground. Jason, how high is your 110? I will make sure the trees are trimmed back high enough this year! Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 £35 for the weekend including camping looks great is the off road course bookable on the weekend as it's not an option with the tickets? Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookers Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 £35 for the weekend including camping looks great is the off road course bookable on the weekend as it's not an option with the tickets? Jason. Found this at the bottom of the "Off Road Course" Page, Off road course is £10 per session or £30 for 4 sessions if booked at the same time. To book call Matt on Tel: 07768 748515 (Xtreme) or 016974 51882. I would imagine that as well as pre booking there will be the oportunity to buy on the day.

Early90 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I am looking forward to this show,truly independent just like this forum . Lynn Bowles and Chris Evans were chatting about it on radio 2 this morming. Evans reckons there are four main events this year....the olympics,euro 2012,the jubilee and The Bristol and West Land Rover show Those of you that are going be aware that the booking form does not contain the entry form for the Blesma challenge,look for that elsewhere on the site, a donation of just £10 to Blesma www.blesma.org secures your place.The event will be photographed from the air so make sure your truck is in shot.You can decide to take part on the day if it is not fully subscribed by then but booking in advance helps with the organisation.Many thanks. See you there van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookers Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Well having just spent the last four days on the off road course and having done countless laps I'm happy to report that the course just gets better and better. I know i'm not totally impartial but having driven most of the other show's off road courses I recon this is the best in the country. If your comming to the show make sure you have a go! If you don't want to take your own vehicle round then there will be passenger rides avaiable as well. One of the things that sets this course apart from the others is the way you can play with it. In may places you can take a normal line and just potter on through or play a little more and get get your vehicle in some er interesting angles and lifting a wheel or two I'm now spending the next couple of Saturdays helping out with the marshal training to let them know how to get the best out of the course so they can pass that on to any drivers wanting a little advise. So, whos attending? Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I will be there, Just make sure you cut the branches this time!! or issue them with planks again!! Will you be putting a wash-up at the end of the course in the field this time? Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brookers Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Jason, we (probably me) will be trimming branches next week, what height would sir like them trimmed too? Washing area will be available for use at the end of the course. Lets hope for some wet weather for the next few weeks to fill the bomb holes up and sunshine for the weekend.

Guest Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 2.25 is good for me sir, I think the big thing was the 'woodland run' out of the course last time was fine in the middle but very tight on the edges, and I ended up with a lot of it on my truck, it looked like I was trying to run in 'camo mode'. I am really looking forward to the weekend, for me it was one of the best Land Rover shows I have ever been to, lots to do, friendly people, clean showers/toilets. OK not the size of Billing, but not the hassle of Billing either, just a nice friendly show. Lets hope for the sort of weather we had last time. Jason.

I will make sure your able to leave the trees where you found them on your way round As for the weather we can only hope but at least the paths around the showground and camping area are all weather. Looking at the website there are a good number of traders booking up and plenty of clubs too so hopefully the organisers acheive their aim of making a chilled, fun family show. Hopefully we can meet up for a Cider and I can get to see your trailer in the flesh. Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hi, looking at the booking pae, for two of us would I need 1 camping pass at £35, and one weekend pass at £15? Or two camping passes? I didn't think I'd make a show this year but I'm very tempted to make the LONG drive down and maybe do some rock climbing whilst I'm in the area. Cheers, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Martin No, you need a camping pass thats £35 which includes entry to the show, Or thats how I read the website Unlike some shows the organisers are not gready If your looking for rock climbing I'm assuming your thinking Cheddar Gorge?

Guest Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Martin, When you order the ticket it say's it includes 3 adult weekend passes (children are free) for use by people camping. Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty much sums it up for me too. It's good value for both traders and visitors - I'm also looking forward to it! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm going to be bringing the family along, looks like it'll be a great show. I'd like to take the old girl around the course but just how suitable will the 'green' routes be for a pretty much standard 110 CSW running A/Ts? I'll possibly have a snorkel by then but other than that it'll be basically how LR intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's really wet you may struggle a little on AT's but I have got standard vehicles round in the wet on AT's before. It just takes a little more skill not to get stuck You won't need a snorkle for the 'green' routes, but if you decide to play in the red mud run it may come in usefull Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreXeL Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Thanks for the reply, I will probably be able to borrow a set of M/Ts for the show, I'm not sure I have that much skill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYBOB Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 the show, has deliberately been kept cheap, i know that from the organiser and planning stages, its intentional. should be a great show, and in landrover terms a cheapish weekend i'm there marshalling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkrover Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I shall be there with the 101 club, maybe I'll give the off road course a try in Shrek. "]http://[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
