OK peeps I am going on Sunday 28th with the intention of using my new 10 legged horse (ground anchor) I know exactly where I am going to get stuck and the owner of the site will be watching, anyone local enough is welcome to join me for an epic event, Rick

solarman216 · 26-04-2019, 20:21

I am all set to go, anyone going to meet me there, I have a very sexy winch bitch, Rick

I wish, but as you said in my post, I think it's a bit too far for a pay and play. Shame we are so far apart, would be good to have 2 Patrols on site.

I'm still planning to go to Tixover though and unlike yourself I hope i dont get stuck

I have new rear springs, lifted to what is said original speck 550 center of hub to metal wing, much better than the first lot I got, they weigh in at 7Kg as opposed to 6Kg for originals and supposedly 20% heavier, looking forward to Sunday in more ways than one

If you don't go down you can fire round my way and head up to Tixover. Either drive too or park at mine and drive up in the Patrol. Could even do some lanes on the way up.

All fit to go, hope someone can join us, if not will get as many pics and vids as we can, Rick

jims-terrano · 27-04-2019, 21:01

Wish you were closer I’d be down there too. Enjoy your day out tomorrow

Banshee · 27-04-2019, 21:05

Official No from me

One hell of a trek and got other local plans now

Soon Rick, Soon, I meant what I said when we were away

solarman216 · 27-04-2019, 21:47

No worries Zac, there will be other times and hopefully you will be able to see what we get up to via pics and vids, Rick

You should have mate!!!! Look at all the knowledge you would have imparted via all those posts and the money you have probably saved people!!!! The people you have entertained with your Slindon & Picadilly Woods action and not to mention the shopfitting threads.

Keep it going Rick it's all ace, can't wait to come down in the "camp van" as Paultrol would call it, I can sleep where I park now mate so would love to make the trek down and see if we could even get a few lanes organised, Paultrol should be up for it as I believe you live very close and I'm sure Zippy is around those parts.

If I'm honest I want to make up for lost time and if you wanted me to try and organise something for the next couple of weeks or so I wouldn't mind getting out with some new faces and leading a group of us?

Whose up for it?
