Details, cost, apart from the car park is there a little mud puddle for the shiny's ? :003:

She can sit in the 'free' sauna & pool while I have a look at your mud plugging.

Have to talk to the Mrs but would like to make this one.

Check that the pool and sauna will be open. I don't think they were open when I camped there last April.
I was also told that the showers are a health hazard, and the rooms not much better.
This is an alternative place to stay: http://www.baskervillearms.co.uk/ (http://www.baskervillearms.co.uk/) (link taken from the J33P website).

Im all for a clean shower so for that reason I'm in lol

sorry, but true

steve is right. this sight is a bit more geared up for the more modded motors. its not that un modded motors wont drive some of it its just that it can be damaging and some parts of the site are very tough. but having said that its not just about off roading cos there is a good weekend away and a piss up and there are some nice places localy to go shoppin and all that.
-
Hmm...good to know. May not do the course in the JK if that's the case but might still turn up to watch you guys beat up yours. :003:
-
there is bits that are not hard but its best to warn folk its a lovely spot in the world anyhoo

Cool, thanks Bubba! Funny, I spent much of my youth from 16-18 at Clyro. Used to go there on my moped to date the local girls. We met up at the pub there where I'd worked out when the fruit machine paid out. I'd get there with 1 pound spending money, wait until the fruit machine was getting close to pay out and then play it until I got out the £10 jackpot! :003: I used to do this a couple of times each time I was there (most weekends) and by this method and by playing pool for money there I used to fund my weekends and most of the next week! :icon_super: No choice, really, as you couldn't buy girls drinks all night with a pound, even in those days! :003:

:imwitstupid:
Unless there's an escape route off the course before it becomes toooooo hairy :icon_winkle:

When I first went to the site in 2002, I was driving a standard cherokee, possibley fitted with 29" mud tyres. I could drive the main tracks, although the steep hill did kill my handbrake.
I was there in April last year, and the site certainly has changed. There is plenty of mud and narrow tracks, which would certainly result in some scratches on the wings.
-
Folks will help and advise newbies for sure
-
no we wont. we will just point and laugh :hysterical:
-
Shame on you lol
no we wont. we will just point and laugh :hysterical:
-

Well, I stumbeled over a roll of this stuff that they use to protect stainless steel surfaces, like fridges & stuff. To prevent scratches and damage during transport
Its not really sticky back if you know what I mean. Could use this to protect the most vulnerable exposed areas.
Anyway will see today if inlaws can have muppets & mutt and then book lodgings.
-
I believe when Jeep ran their expensive laning experience weekends, they covered your Jeep in cling film (or similar) to help protect the paintwork.
Obviously, the vehicle needs to be clean beforehand.
I might try and replace the painted wheel arches on my JK with unpainted ones if I decide to take it off-roading, as well as replace the indicators with ones which are flush to the panel.
-
if i can make it i will point out all the easy shallow mud and easy bits

I do really wont to attend this meet however I do not want to rag my truck :icon_eek: some of you may have seen my wheels at Ribbo and my question is should I stay at home as i don't want to come and do nothing but spectate all day ?
-
You will be fine mate. Its just a bit rough in places. You only do what you want anyway. Just dont do the river bed. :greggmo:
-
As a newbie who certain people want to laugh at, is it just a "turn up when you want to" do or do you need to book? I've only got a standard TJ, but you have to start somewhere don't you, even if it is gazing in awe at all of you pros out there:)
-
Dont worry.....I'll be heading up the shiny brigade in the armchair mobile :hysterical:
as a first timer :greggmo:
-

-
lookin good :greggmo:
if its like that when its dry tho :icon_eek:
do ya reckon its worth me goin flat out to get the winch fitted before the 5th?
-
in my book the winch should be the second mod to any motor after the muds. :greggmo:
-
Looks good.
The 53 plate Wrangler has that many mods?
If not that was top effort. :icon_super:

hey guys really sorry but i think we are gonna have to cancel this one. i know there are a few of us up for it and lookin forward to it but i really dont think there is gonna be the turn out we need. canceling is not somethin that we do here at birtys but i think this time we will have to. i will know for sure at the weekend and will post up as soon as i know. as i say i am very sorry guys especially if you have gone to the effort of booking the hotel for a night. if you have booked a room and end up out of pocket pm me and i will try and sort somethin to compensate your loss. sorry guys :icon_redface: the clyro event later in the year will run what ever happens. :greggmo:

Gutted, but i understand if the turnout isnt there :010:
-
yeah gutted but at least we avoid all that horrible unpleasant mud :gfightsmiley:
-
That sucks Greg. Out of interest how many people do we need to make it a feasable event to run? Just curious is all.
-
I dont mind paying a little extra if we can still book it?

ball bags just got working on grandparents babysitting!

its more about safety than costs to be honest. i really need a good amount of the more kitted motors for this site cos it is heavy goin and if somethin goes bad it essential that there are the motors to deal with stuff if that makes sens.at least two or three with winches. i wont have my usual motor which has almost everythin on or in it from first aid stuff to glue to torches and fire extinguisher and all that shit. as event organiser i am responsible for everyone on site and that is quite scary at times with the nature of what we get up to. it really feels shit to have to pull an event but it is about us all being as safe as we can make it and this just cant be done this time. this site can be very dangerous and i just wont risk peoples well being. dont worry though guys we will just have to go for the later event at this venue.
-
Fair enough Greg. Makes sense to have the kit there to deal with stuff. Oh well on to the next one.
-
if people are short of somewhere to go on the 6th the Niva club are at Ribbo http://www.offroading.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5036&p=29288#p29288 (http://www.offroading.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5036&p=29288#p29288)
-
I could be persuaded to go?
-
Awww...gutted...never been to Clyro before but makes sence, safety has to come first :eusa_clap:. I fancy Ribbo again but don't really know the Niva lot would I be able to just turn up ? I'm thinking are they happy for someone to be on thier PLI they don't know ??
-
the nive club are a smashin bunch and very welcoming. just show up and introduce your self. :greggmo:
