Saw a mate walking in town today, dropped a cog and floored it as I went past him, he text me later to say "that was awesome sound" I am happy, and you will all be able to hear it in the flesh at the meet, and it drives more like a sports car now, Rick

Guys bad news on my part, I'm not going to be able to make this, it's just a really bad coincidence with dates.

I'm off work the week before the dates, its the only time I could get off, but the weeks priority is to go up to Scotland to visit family so wont be able to get back down for the weekend.

I'll be probably driving back down Saturday night, early Sunday morning. If I was off another week I'd be able to get to this.

Don't know if I could meet up on Sunday morning or not but probably not great for the kids being stuck in the car for so long.

Sorry guys, I'm gutted, always wanted to try laning up there.

Maybe I'll try and get to the Welsh Xtreme the weekend after

That's a shame Martin!

What is the Welsh Extreme weekend?

Mr K · 03-03-2019, 16:38

Sorry I'm not doing well

The https://www.thewelshxtrem.co.uk/ is next weekend 8-10th March and not the weekend after the laning trip

Its part of an off road racing series

I’m going to try and come to this on the sat if I can get away from wrk early just pop down for the day to see what you guys think of the camper. Will I be allowed on for just a few hours in the afternoon?

See no reason why you should not visit, but who knows what time we will be back from our jaunting, best get a phone number or two to check on where we are, PM me and I will give you mine, Rick

Getting hold of us may be a challenge from past experience, phone signal can be very very flakey, do you have a CB setup on your truck yet I cant remember?

Rarche2002 · 06-03-2019, 23:54

No but I’m on EE and I literally have signal everywhere it’s awesome middle of nowhere in Scotland I had full signal

I don't see there being a problem, as Rick says, it'll depend on what time we get back in the afternoon evening. Just give a shout to the owner as you land.

Talking of routes and itineraries?????

Yeah balls!!!!!!!!!! I forgot I had a message a while ago that I needed to respond to that I haven't

Did I hear we needed someone to lead the group? I was hoping to chill out and hang at the back of the group being first trip out in the truck for 12 months but if I need to I can

Just would hate to lead and then break down

Why, you going in a Land Rover?

elty001 · 07-03-2019, 17:58

Afraid I'm going to have to give this one a miss.
Was hoping to get over on the Sunday but just realistically can't make any promises.
