FridgeFreezer Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Mike, did you mean...18th-19th June - Seven Sisters, WalesThe 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.ukPLEASE 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 the Friday before the event Some flavour from previous events:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeCayrekpfI ...something like that?

steve200TDi Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think it varies depending on time of year, so Yes, I'm afraid there maybe Midges, but don't let that put you off! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Genuinely read that as midgets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 We don't provide midgets although anything's possible for a supplemental charge... midges I've never really noticed a big problem on site. And yes, catering means tea & coffee on tap for a donation to Hampshire & Isle Of Wight Air Ambulance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous doug Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm absolutely gutted I'm going to misst this, always wanted to go there but I have booked a weekend away the week before and I'm not sure the 110 will be in any state to go out again. Is it an annual thing or is there events a few times a year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 We do it twice a year, this year it's June 18th and 19th and then September 17th 18th. September one will include night driving on the Saturday again as it was such a laugh last time. Booking for that should go live shortly after everyone gets home from the June one, I'll make sure it's posted up here too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
