Papav66 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) Ashdown Camp extends a warm welcome to you to join our post-Christmas road run. Unless there are impassable snowdrifts, we intend to "patrol" along meandering byways, cheat almost certain death through a shallow ford, and risk sniper fire through an eerie wood. For those who experienced our Chill-Out weekend road run this will be a little shorter out of respect for the colder weather. See some of Catweazles's pics here: http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/showthread.php?t=9294 Vundercaterer Lt Gen Gill King will furnish survivors with a sumptuous and nourishing mystery broth whipped up from some unopened WW2 food parcels, etc, adorned with a delicious Dessert Rat hard tack biscuit, or similar. Tasty homemade vegetable soup and a doorstep of delicious fresh bread will be offered as an alternative. WARNING- anyone attempting this winding course along curvaceous bi-ways in a large vehicle might be well advised to be prepared for 97-point turns, and carry their own provisions: first little piggy at the trough and all that. Please will you let me know by message or phone if you wish to come; there's no official form on this one. Paul: 0779 159 1528 or msg/pm here. Just so our Vundercaterer knows how many food parcels to break into. Open to MVT members & non-members. LOCATION 10.30HRS, Ashdown Farm, Badsey, Nr. Evesham, WR11 7PA, just off A46. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=Ashdown%20Farm%2C%20badsey%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl Edited December 17, 2008 by Papav66 sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papav66 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Recently returned to defrost from what was a great little run. About 20 people turned up with a few Jeeps, Land Rovers and an Austin Tilly. My daughter and I hitched a ride in a Jeep but as it was only just above freezing she soon deserted me and found a warmer ride in the Tilly. We drove up through Broadway & Snowshill & into the woods near Toddington Railway then back to the nissen for some soup. Only hiccup was one Jeep with a fuel problem that had to be towed back.
