I was competing again today, 1st one of the 2007 season and it was muddy as hell. I was in my £200 Range Rover V8 up against some proper kit but the old Rangie did me proud.
The only damage i have noticed so far is a broken front spring and a split brake hose.

Due to the amount of vehicles in the class the stages were reduced but the quality of those stages remained fantastic.
I knew i had done a good job today but to win it has made me smile like a loon.
Pics will follow as soon as i can download them. Mr. Green

Quality, Look forward to the pics. I Went green laning in the lakes last week with a mate in his Isuzu Bighorn. It's a bit cumbersome for it to be honest but was a great laugh.

He's had a load of land rovers and range rovers over the years and he's in the process of talking himself into another but reckons a car will have to go before another arrives in the garage.

Wish I had that problem... I haven't even got a garage Very Happy

Trophies are from Oct & Nov 2006, Sundays will arrive in 3 weeks.

Nice! that Rangie really only cost you £200?

With a V8 in it you must spend that much on petrol on a decent trip out Razz

Its not a dear sport, £25 for club membership, £10 each trial, £10 worth of unleaded and your away.
The motor isn't thrashed as lower revs are much more beneficial for traction.
I took 'Ben' (Ressurection) on the 1st trial and that was it, hooked.
Now selling the bike to fund a truck to carry the RR and to fund a roll cage, bucket seats and some spares. Sorted Thumbs Up

Shame you have to sell the bike really. Suppose if it's for a good cause. You will be getting another eventually through right Smile

WHere did you pick the Range Rover up ? Private sale?

It was bought from a mate who took it on trade in. I've been offered my money back just for the engine lol.
I don't HAVE to sell the bike but it will be taking a back seat to this off roading.

Hi

Who organises the trials? Do they have a web site? When are the events? Is spectating possible?

All the best

There are loads of Off Road & 'Land Rover' clubs around and they all accept spectators.
The club i'm in is https://www.badlrc.co.uk/ and there is a calendar link on the site for all the venues.

Give me a shout when you are doing a day and if I am free I will try and get along to take some pics.

All the best

Wormhough 'DO' have public days i believe..
They have a few Landies and some Diahatsu Foreskins that i think they do tuition with.

BADLRC usually have some playdays but i do fear they have been knocked on the head this season.

Keith,
April 8th will be the best one, Hartington quarry is a cracking venue, plenty of chance to roll it, bump it, bend it and its a far more technical location.
If you can make it I'll take you on a couple of stages if your game for it. Thumbs Up Mr. Green
