Defender back in the fold.. Surrey laning anyone?

[nick355gts]

Hi all,
After 9 months without one and winter looming, i had to go and get another one.. So..can't wait to get out and explore. Any more laning trips planned?
Leatherhead based.

Saw some guys from Burnham off road club at Tesco Leatherhead Saturday night, just off for some night laning.. Grabbed a contact number so hopefully hook up with them next time they are about. I want to get a good feel for the right lanes to explore etc

Hopefully see some of you soon,

Cheers
Nick

What happened to all you Surrey Laners? not too muddy? :-)

[Marlboro Gold]

I have started to do a few 'pay & play' days instead as the laning does seem to have dropped off.

Have a look on AWDC as they seem to organise a few, or the FWDC for laning and trips out.

AWDC have an event at Bordon on Sunday for regular vehicles and Heavy Vehicles too. There will be an interesting selection of vehicles there.
Oh, and a pretty good site to plod around in at Slab Common.

I live around 400m from the Bordon site - just need to get Bob fully happy before playing...

Didn't realise your so close Don, if you need a hand with the bob work or Tvr ever let me know, I work at Oakhanger and live in Alton. Are you down Lazante way from profile pic?

[Don1]

So close.... I won't say where I actually am, but you're not a million miles away. There are a few of us around - maybe a mulled wine meet for some mud?

[scoobal]

Understand you totally Don, I didn't want to be specific either... Mulled wine and a meet sounds good, free this weekend at all? Know Nick did your very nice shoot recently too and I would love to see your view on the sag. I only got to drive Candy (Claire's sag) but was a big difference to the Tvr. Plenty of good contacts for the bob tail restoration too.

I should be free this weekend, but Bob is at KCC (I was breaking tools trying to do simple jobs, it looks like he hasn't been looked after for a while, so I've decided just to get him happy, and go from there).

How's the snow for you?

Subaru is a nightmare in the snow (summer tyres), the Disco is loving it KCC are a good bunch.

Yeah, Shawn looked very happy at having to use Bruiser to get into work!
