As part of the plan (that is sort of in my head) i thought it might be an idea to sort some group food for Saturday Night (Friday night i shall be down the local pub)
We need to end up with one option for group purchase (obviously individuals can do as they please)
so whose up for this and a voice between curry and Pizza
I will be doing some posts later with what is being prepared for your entertainment !?!
VOTES PLEASE
Post by: General Confusion on April 05, 2016, 05:57:45 PM
Pizza is a sort of all pay so much, chuck various Pizza's in the middle and all tuck in.
Add to that, I can't stand curry!!!

The ever skilful Mr Willets will be setting out some punches his desire is to challenge you not only on how to get to the first but the transition to the next one
I will be trying my hand at setting out 2 trial courses. I hope for one to be easier, the second to be a bit more of a challenge. We will be working to the rules of the 1st club I went trailing with which in my opinion are more fun - see below
To keep the excitement going we will also have snooker for jeeps and blind driving. I would suggest that only very strong friendships/marriages attempt the latter (divorce did follow its last outing)
Finally there will be letters/numbers out on the site that spells a word or phrase that's important
I hope to have a communal bonfire running from approx 20.00 on the Saturday - pallets and wood supplies please, would a chain saw be an idea (only to be used by sober types)
I have mentioned about the scoff for Saturday and hope to have that sorted by then
Trials rules
Start at gate 1 with the white cane in your right
Progress through numbers keeping white on the right
Clear run scores zero points
Penalty Points are as follows
Touch a gate 5
Cross a gate with the inside of any tyre 15
Shunt 10 - 100" have one shunt elected before star
Missed gate 15
Maximum points 40
Break any of my expensive canes 80 points
Just to ram home NO competition is taking place
Everything organised under the control of Birty dastards jeep club

Make sure if you're towing or got the big truck you come in from the west otherwise you'll have to go past and down the road a few miles to turn.

To answer the question, yes there is hardstanding suitable for parking up a truck. Coming into the site through the bigger gate and then into that area might be best - see the street view picture below - I'd suggest the right hand gate then park up on the hardstanding which is down on the left of that picture.

I've run out of time to finish my bead locks, they only need paint and the dreaded air tightness test, got a full weeks work ahead of me, so a bit risky to start taking tyres off wheels,
I'm also stuck in 4low but this isn't a problem, it's been like it for the last 12 months, got the Novak shifter to fit but not sure I'll get it done,
Post by: JamesH on May 08, 2016, 10:20:02 PM
New windscreen being fitted Tuesday, MOT Wednesday and got to sort new stop / tail lights first because one of the LED ones has taken a crap. If I have time after that I might get a chance to fit a winch and test drive it properly. Everything is crossed, I have no spare time if something big needs doing but I have put a lot of hours in getting it this far so hopefully...

It's my own fault really, not just leaving it to the last minute but I should have replaced the calipers when I cleaned them up and thought that they seemed a bit corroded and old looking. Even if I got to the MOT station I don't fancy driving 4 hrs with brakes that keep sticking.
I might come down if the weather is good and I'm feeling like a drive or I might just strip the brakes down ready for new calipers (just ordering from Rockauto now).
I'll do some pics but it actually doesn't look much different to when I got it, it just works better now. In fact it probably looks worse with a dodgy trailer light fitted on the back as an MOT 'fix'.

I would like to thank Tim and everyone involved in organising this Brilliant Breakout.
We had a great time on the site but also in the evening around the mini Bonfire watching Tony throwing Gripper rods in the fire and expertly cutting logs (when not sipping Guinness). :icon_jook:

you're thoughts would be appreciated in what you thought was good - what less so and any additions
the punches well the blind driving with Mr W's coaxing even more so
the trials were OK
Post by: wildwood on May 16, 2016, 07:05:06 PM
Blind driving was ....... Well I'd never done it before....and it was also a laugh...... Left left ....no other left....l :hysterical:
Punch hunt was good and although I didn't go balls out for the difficult ones the fact that they were there was good for those that like to test their skill to the max.
So great weekend.... :icon_biggrin:

Tim I think the whole set up of activities made the weekend suitable for all abilities in both driver confidence and vehicle capability with no pressure to do any more than you wanted. I personally did not do the blind driving ( just me being whimpy ! ) snooker was fun and different, Easier trials still good and I sort of did whatever gates I fancied on the other trials section, the punches where as challenging as you wanted them to be, I personally got about 9 and was happy with that. As Wildwood has mentioned the amount of activities meant you could get on and do stuff without the queue up.
Cheers ...

Ezz here in action always spectacular to watch.
I'm not sure who is in the other one but I took him over on the M25 and thought he reminded me of Dastardly and Muttley which was known to me as Satanas et Diabolo when I was a Toddler. :003:

Did any one get some photos of mine on its side?
No sorry Kev I didn't even know you ended up on your side.
That must have been early on the Saturday because you were there before I went to Town to get some food for lunch and I don't remember seeing you again when I came back.

We both had an excellent time and it was really good to catch up with a bunch of you guys.
Once again I've come home completely impressed with what the XJ can do and so far no technical problems with it as a result!
The blind driving course was terrifying for me but Emily did well, especially considering she'd never driven properly off road before!
Thanks to all that organised, and we'll see you at the next one! :003:

it was super to catch up with folks we simply dont get out enough the first night was nearly a disaster with a tent donated by donk we arrived late and the daylight was nearly gone and i had never seen the tent up never mind how it went together donk walked over and helped me work it out
after a near frozen to death night the Saturday was upon us and though overcast and chilly did warm up nicely we had a lot of fun in our mindy and as always was taken aback at just how good these little trucks can be with modest cost and tech
i can confirm there is plenty condensed into harptree to give a very enjoyable weekends fun we had a go at everything enjoyed the snooker very much and the canes
Saturday night bought pizza and fire and then cooking as the kids were still hungry i was absolutely amazed to find i had been nominated for a prize well two actually not sure what the one was but winning the spirit of the event prize bowled me over thanks to everyone involved in that truly
sunday was busy as they always are breaking camp and having a last play the mindy was somehow not quite right and cut out a couple of times it seems to have oil pump failure when cold runs and slowly warms up gets tight stalling the engine and wont restart untill cool again :017: :010: :010: :banghead: strangely this happened at my last trip to wagtail in my old mindy :017: so i am at a bit of a loss there :017:
however we loaded up said goodbuy and sett of with the moose towing and we plodded along getting overtaken by various birtys i did get tug envy when overtaken by jez in the hippy express towing all his kit like it wernt there then we had an emergency wee wee stop for maxx [4] we were ther only a few seconds when both donk and big andy pulled over to see if they could help thanks guys stars the pair of you
i would very much like to thank Tim for taking the the blame for the event and Tony for the effort he to put in and everyone who came always super to see you guys......and thanks to the new mrs dave for doing Georges platts saturday night
