Dotty Dodge Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hi All While having a chat to jack today we spoke about all meeting up. Maybee a road/offroad run? There isn't much going on show wise until April,may time. I thought i would be a good idea if we could have a dayout with our vehicles a little road run some where? Anyone got any ideas where we could go? Both jack and i really enjoyed the off roading stretch of the road run at the "gathering of eagles" is there any were around that we could do a bit of off roading? jack suggested some where in Dorset? :roll: And i suppose some where big enough to take a gmc!! would be nice to see a show of hand who'd like to come? Any ideas where to go? The best date to get the most people to come? Regards Rowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I would come, but I wouldn't really want to drive down to Dorset, do some off roading and then drive all the way back! You should pick somewhere easy enough for all of us to get to! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Plenty of byways in the Salisbury plain area. I'd love to take part - but that might be pushing it a bit for a Stalwart...... :-( :-( :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 If you are going to use byways please stick to the Green Laning Code and don't run in groups of more than 4 or 5 vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddball do you know any good routes on the byways of salisbury plain? Rowan Salisbury sounds good, its still a long way but it would be worth it to drive a Ferret about on the plain!

Dotty Dodge Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Will this affect us can we not just leave a gap between every 5 vehicles? or are there strict rules? anyone got any more info on the green laning code? So i think we are set on a place salisbury plain byways anyone got a good route? Rowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Ok, we need to take a look at this in closer detail. We may have to stick to hard roads here...................! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Have a look at http://www.glass-uk.org go to site map and then code of conduct. If you intend using the Salisbury Plain area I would recommend finding someone with local knowledge as it is very easy to wander off the rights of way and the MOD police and wardens are very vigilant, it has been known for vehicles to be confiscated.

Richard Grosvenor Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I might well be interested in a run on Salisbury plain in the Ferret, especialy as I now have this http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b394/RGrosvenor/Renault%20Magnum/DSCI0026.jpg[/img] It might be a bit of fun Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian2b Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Could we make a weekend of this as it could be a bit of a stretch for one day. Maybe arrive during Saturday have a road run etc then get Jack to show us his survival skills (barbecue) one or two beers and disappear during sunday ?????

Dotty Dodge Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 OK so we have gone off track a bit here. So lots of people seem interested which is good. But maybe salisbury might be difficult. I'm sure no one on here wants there vehicle confiscated :-o What about the new forest area is there anywere here we could do a little off roading i know there is area for camping if u wanted to make it a 2 day thing. Trouble is its getting more south which i futher for people to come. Any more ideas ? Rowan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyroo Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Green laneing in a Ferret's good fun. I went with a few mates arround the Leiceter countryside some time ago. We even got to pull out a landrover that had got stuck in some mud :-D [/img] [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtistsRifles Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 But Neil you haven't got a swimming Stolly .. pay back time :evil: It's a fair cop Guv'nor :-) :-) But she will be soon............ Heard from Mark C the other day - his tin-smith is going to be starting work around the end of the month on the replacement seal retainers. Better all start saving up your life-jackets for when she does go in the wet stuff :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas pinkie Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I am up for this...... again new forest / salisbury / dorset is all good as I shall just crash at my bro's, or camp :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Ok, how about this for a plan......... We spend the weekend in the New Forest! We can then set up camp in any campsite that we choose and then we can convoy around the forest for us long as we want and then back to base camp for a BBQ and a cup of tea :whistle: We can visit all of the airfields that are/were in the forest, we could do what we want and perhaps even stop of a a Tea Room or two. Does that sound like a plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
