Do you own a 4x4?

[Byff]

If you have a 4x4 and fancy trying it out in the mud, I can grant you access to a wonderfull huge quarry on the 14th March. There is terrain to suit every style of vehicle, not just mud pluggers and if you feel confident, there will be a competition running to test your ability.

All this for only £15 for the full day.

If you need any more information, drop me an e-mail.

Does anybody have a spare passenger seat for a camera man?

[Byff]

I'll let you have my passenger seat, but do you value your life with me driving

The quarry is located at Hetton-le-Hole on the B1285 (take the Murton Lane turn off and the quarry entrance is on the bend). All you'll need to bring is some wellies and warm clothing and if you stay all day, some sarnies and a flask of tea for lunch. We generally meet up around 10:00ish and are normally finished by 16:00.

You won't miss my jeep.

[WildfireS3]

Right I'll see what I can do. Wellies/boots are in London, but will see what I can do.

[bomb]

I'll bring the 350T.......(it'll be just like last week in the carpark at the pub!)

[stevieb]

I was gonna ask if i can take someones passenger seat. Ill bring the camera.

Also, could be a good day out for the wife and kids if the weather aint to bad.

[Byff]

Your more than welcome Steve, the jeep is piloted by myself and my mate, so Wildfire and yourself can partener each of us.

TBH, my wife finds it a bit boring, but she's not a petrolhead. The kids enjoy the day out though and its a great way for my wife to have a "day off"

BTW, You can also blag a passenger ride in LandRovers, Diahatsu's etc.

[tbloke99]

Just on the off chance of course, but do you have some sort of recovery system if I "ahem" get stuck in the mud!

[Byff]

If you don't get stuck, your not trying hard enough

Recovery is in the form of a Land Rover and a rope. If that fails, then we have Land Rover and a winch. If that fails then we have two Land Rovers and two winches.

There's only been once when a Land Rover was so stuck we had to call upon the assistance of a Volvo L90 Loading shovel.



And that thing will pull anything out.

Location of quarry.



Entrance is just above the G in Easing(ton) Lane on the kink in the road.

Had to use the 4x4 today to get to work through the snow. Only me managed to get out of my road. It's on a slope and gets hard packed very quickly. The car hasn't been used for some months now but started and coped well.

You big pussy! I was out in the Cerb, crabbing sideways up the road - had a great time. I was checking out places to have meets, Cragside is a no hoper - bloody speedhumps.

[Byff]

Hmmm. Today I'm a pussy aswell. 9cm of snow and I can't get the Cerb off the drive. Looks like it'll have to be the 4x4.
