FridgeFreezer Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Should be good after all this persistent precipitation! If I can (finally) get the V8 back together I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sj_4x4 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Shire have another Bunny Lane day this sunday why not come and play. Are Shire planning any more events at Slab, Hogmoore or Broxhead in the near future ? Bunny lane is just that bit too far for a day trip for us.

TJN Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Military sites are difficult. There have been problems with other clubs not following the rules from Landmarc and also they are extremely expensive to run. So doubtful to be honest. Also several of the sites are being closed by the army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sj_4x4 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for the updates chaps, last time I went to a HBLRO event at Slab we had to play follow my leader round a taped off course, not something I am keen to repeat. I had heard Landmarc were getting more expensive and had issues with their "rules" shame really as we've been using the sites for years.

FridgeFreezer Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 As TJ says, the problem is some clubs that have hired the sites have not stuck to the rules, people have strayed off-limits, interfered with the tanks, etc. and ultimately it's only the goodwill of the MOD that means anyone can use the sites at all. The MOD sites aren't cheap and as people have less spare cash the turnouts aren't what they were a few years ago, which makes it a fair risk to run many (if any) MOD site days. Co-operation between clubs may be one way to go in future to reduce costs. One thing we've never done (and have not used a few potential sites because of this) is the whole "follow-my-leader" or "just drive round this single track" type thing as it's really not a great way to have a play day. We're always on the lookout for new sites etc. but it's quite a time-consuming thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually get 20+ at our playdays at MudMonsters, always up for some co-operation..... Pff. Sorry to hijack your thread TJ, Bunny Lane must be epic if a man is prepared to leave all the local beer and drive across half of Europe to attend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smego Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The follow my leader is likely to be because its the cheapest way under latest MSA rules of getting it insured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
