As per norm there will be at least 20 punches out on the site to find and get too.
As there seems to be a fair few Jeepers coming :icon_super:
All those that wish to have a Punch Card tagged onto their truck? See me and I'll sort out a card for you :023:
There also will be a 10 gate trials section put up somewhere on the SatUrday and Moved for the Sunday for peeps to have a go at too.
Theres no prizes to be had from either, just bragging rights between you and fellow Jeepers Blues
Any Questions
-
I take it bribes will be encouraged as usual :003:
-
Mark, i have 60 punch cards printed and laminated :greggmo:
-
So will it be another short wheelbase trial section, or will an xj fit this ye :lol_hitting:ar
-
Donk, I normally approach trials with the aim to get through the canes, all that fussing about shunts and reversing is a waste of time in an XJ (especially when it's as wide as the gates the suzuki triallers like to set)
-
I dont care how wide the gates are because I have never driven my XJ off road yet, come to think of it I've only driven it about 15 miles. So it will be fun trying and you guys will have plenty of gates to replace. Bring it on :098:
-
Im just goin over the gates :003:
May even go mad and try and collect my first ever punch - Sid gets the hump each event coz my attention span isnt long enuff for punches
-
you got spare prop shafts this time :icon_super:
-
It wasn't the gates that were the problem it was the trees it didn't fit between :banghead:
And I'm fresh out of spare props now, need to refurb a couple :lol_hitting: killed another one a few weeks ago.
-

Im breakin nowt :lol_hitting:

Be warned, the majority of those that drove over the canes in the trials section ended up with a battle scare or two :003:
To give ya an incentive not to hit them, they are made out of 10mm steel....
Think they even done a bottom hose at West Harptree, due to a Red CJ5 driving over one!
The key to a trials section is to drive through the gate, not over :hysterical:
If there's enough interest in the trials we could hold a wee gathering on the Saturday afternoon? Give y'all all something to chat about around the Fire?
Whattya reckon?
-
Sounds like a plan, I'm up for it :icon_super:
-
Yup sounds cool. Finally...... Got my front winch to work, so if any punches could need to be winched to that would be good!
BD sid can jump in with me. Though we may need a step ladder so he can get in :003:
-
Trials.....mmmmn yes please. should be very interesting with full width chev front axle :hysterical:
-
By the sounds of it I'm not the only wideboy with the turning circle of an oil tanker
-
If I can get the front(fsj width) through I'm good :icon_super:
-
Cheers Willo - he stoked - altho i think he may be havin viokent halo fantasies once i told him he will hav to wear a headset :003:
Molotov is a wee tiny beast so will be quik n nimble on the gates :100:
-
guys, just a bit of safety stuff.
Got no problem with Sid been Willos bitch but we must remember its potentially a very dangerous time, he is an enthusiastic young guy and may not see dangers so you must look after him big time.
And remenber the punches and trials section are just for fun, no competition here so have fun but please do it safe :greggmo:

Hey.....he survived the Dutch experience @ Harptree so I'm sure he will be in good hands with Die Hard Wills :icon_winkle:

The punches try to cater for all.
But I do have a few spares, so we could get creative for those who want something a little tougher :icon_twisted:
Nosebolt has an image of one such punch, at Compton Bassett :hysterical:

Yup! Till around 2:30-3pm.
It takes me ages to remember where I put them, to recover them and get home before midnight.

Gotta have someone keeping us in check. It's a ball ache, but without some awareness and constraint, it's only natural we Humans try fooking ourselves up and blame someone else.
I say, thanks Steve for watching my back while I'm having fun. I'll return the favour by watching his, while he's doing his bit :023:
So how many Virgin campers to Ribbo do we have?
Anyone told'em about the Cockerels :hysterical:
-
yup gotta agree dawgs lad is fine as passenger but no helpin winch or crazy stuff in fact if anyone gets stuck and is unsure how to go about recoverin them selves just hang fire someone will not be far away there are lots of folk who can and will help
be careful out there
and will if you feel unsafe round the camp fire we can put a cordon up just for you :hysterical:
-
Trials ohh yes
Warthog can i try and put the TJ vertical again
That was fun - not at the time admittedly
Could i ask someone for some help to spool my string on to my new shiny winch (which i haven't a clue how to use - got to start somewhere)
Cant wait
see you Friday
Regards Tim

[attachment=1]Willo
a Sid warning
-
as much as we all seem it to be ok by all parties, age of legal responsisbility always looms above us in what happens no matter how friendly we all are. Winching is a dangerous activity and needs to be done by responsible adults, if a child helps then everything that child does needs to be checked. we all know what happens when a wire or shackel lets go so best be done right first time.
Dont forget your ear plugs as them cockrells are damm anoying
-
not to mention the snoring :003:
-
sure there was something in the PLI about minors (under 16) to be either strapped in or at a safe distance during manoeuvres, but Sids a smart lad and sure if he is told the dangers he will be fine, maybe an opportunity for some general safety instruction before the trails (for the big kids too)
one thing I would strongly recommend is HiVis for all novice winch bitches regardless of age
and if all else fails make sure there is camera on Sid at all times, guaranteed what ever happens the little sod will give us all a laugh :hysterical: :hysterical:
-
I know we're talking about Sid being a good lad, however my real concern is with his father lol
-
:hysterical: cheeky pecker
Dont worry about me, I got diff oil to change once I get there so I will be spending the weekend weeping quietly under the Molotov :100:
-
not to mention the snoring :003:
Youre okay,im not camping this year....... :lol_hitting:

Yeah; but you live close enough to still keep folks awake. :003:
-
jeesh you lot are a depressing bunch, nowhere in my post did I say Sid would be my winch Bitch, I merely said he could jump in with me, with the intention of doing some punches as I know it bores the hell out of Ade.
If you'd like a copy of my resume so you can judge whether or not Ade should let his son have a jolly in my Jeep, then please let me know
-
Enhanced CRB check, h&s awareness certificate and first aid training should be fine Will :icon_winkle:

Common sense to be used at all times.
Cameras required when BD and mud comr together. One to record the level of stuckness and the other to record the amount of mud on Sid
