Seven Sisters Weekend - Wales, 31st May / 1st Jun


Recommended Posts

May 31st - June 1st - Seven Sisters, Wales

The basics:

  • Miles and miles of off-roading of all forms, form gentle freelander-friendly tracks & trails to horrible mud bugs, rocks, deep water, THE WATERFALL, etc.
  • A fun punch-hunt to keep you entertained
  • Camping at the excellent Dan Yr Ogof Showcaves campsite (good facilities, HOT showers, excellent pub over the road, hot & cold running spanners on site, full electric & water hookups for caravanists)
  • Just about the biggest & bestest off-road site in the UK for all vehicles & abilities
  • Families & dogs welcome
  • The usual friendly Shire LRC marshals & team on hand (and I'll be there too)
  • On-site catering this year, so there will be hot food as well as teas & coffees
  • For each Summer Sisters ticket sold, £5 will go to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.

Full details & online booking at www.7Sisters.co.uk

PLEASE READ:

  • If you are camping, please book through ShireLRC, don't just turn up at the campsite (they reserve a separate area for the event and booking separately confuses everyone)
  • We cannot accept people turning up "on the day" without a booking, either for the arena or for the campsite.
  • We always get enquiries about quads/bikes etc. so here's the rules: Any 4-wheeled vehicle which is MOT'd and insured is welcome, anything else is not, this includes non-road legal quads and ANY bike.
  • Closing date for bookings is Friday 23rd may (the Friday before the event)

Hope to see some of you there!

Well we all had a great time in Wales and the weather was great too!

I did some of this:

I played in the Quarry ,went to the waterfall and drove up the rocks at the washing machine area. I got about 2/3 the way up the rocks and this happened!:

This was a bit unfortunate as I would have to go round in two wheel drive for the rest of the weekend, unless anyone had a spare rear propshaft! It broke off on the short sliding joint. It does look as if it had already started to crack. No one had a spare, but someone did find a propshaft in the trees that happened to have a servicable uj on the short end. So we just tapped the short end out of that prop and fitted to the decent half of mine. Someone even had a grease gun, so I greased it as well! I was back in four wheel drive that afternoon and it lasted all of Sunday and the 200 odd mile trip home. It's still on there now! Thanks to David Lang for helping me out, Piers for finding the prop and John for the grease!
