Subject to final confirmation: Now confirmed

On Sunday 30th December 2007 I am running a complete begginners day in Derbyshire.

This is an ideal time to roll out that shiny 4x4 and get your tyres muddy and see how 4WD works.

Its also an ideal time for those of you that have friends and family who have expressed an interest in "what you do" to come along and with you and have a go in your motor.

Hopefully, - some of the more experienced amongst you will also attend to "impart your wisdom" - remember when it was new to you and you were sooooooooo nervous.

The day will be very relaxed, with many stops for discussion and demonstration/trial and some photo opourtunitys. I don't expect to cover as many lanes as we usually do and will be using easyish non damaging firm surfaced terrain wherever possible.

Later in the day, subject to all aggreing and feeling confident, you may be taken on some of Derbyshires moderatly hard classic routes.

Disclaimer:

Please bear in mind that to the best of my knowledge and belief no one in this club (myself included) are proffessional off road driving instructors and that any advice given is based upon our knowledge and experiance and is freely given.

Green lanes whilst generally are non damaging are not completly without risk and it would not be fair of me to say that damage cannot occur. So please bear this in mind when attending as niether I, nor any person who leads a group or the club will be reponsible for any damage or scratches you may incur. Furthermore you will be asked to sign a disclaimer stating this at all events. Please also note that as these are legaly driveable lanes your vehicle must be taxed, tested and insured. It is also good practice to ensure it is mechanically sound and well serviced.
 
Sounds good to me!
Only thing is will not know till nearer the time in it's my Sunday in work.
have to work 1 in 4 sundays :( (joys of driving a bus)

If we can make it then there will be 2 of us, any idea of the cost for this?

Would have liked to have made this my 1st trip as never really tried the off road experience. However i cant get time off work at xmas or new year. Hopefully if something like this takes place again at some point next year i'll be able to attend.
 
Now I may be up for that! Will have a chat with SWMBO and see if she would like a fun day out for us all.

Not been to derbyshire so this may be the chance to come over.
 
sounds like fun and a good idea.

Depends on the take up of this one, I'm afraid, but I can always tailor something to suit for you

Count me in so long as I'm not asked to work it. But I'm not usually on the rota on Sundays so it's looking good.

If it's not ladies day does that mean I can't come as there are no men in my party so I'm gonna have to do all the driving? 8O

The reason the women nag(am I allowed to use that word on here and in the presence of Ladies) is because they listen to instruction and nag the men to do it correctly instead of flat out.
 
Route cards are now available for this day in advance, please contact me with a valid e mail address if you require one. They are in downloadable PDF format.
 
Thanks for sending them over so fast!
Paul
