Off-road fun to be had at Tong in Bradford, 10.00 - 16.00

Would be nice to see AFL represented :-)

Good chance of me being there, probably alone ... ;)

Sons 16th birthday and wifes ... er ... birthday too, so we're having a
family do on Saturday night, but she just said I don't _have_ to drink
if i want to go off-roading the next day ... ;)

Got back a while ago, but had a few things to do.
Good site, lots to do, some hard, some feckin' hard and some impossible
on AT's ... ;)

Got caught on a Black run on some tree roots, so the Disco is now (even
more) battle-scarred.  It'll pull out, with a bit of elbow grease etc
... ;)   Radio fell out half-way up a hill, fairly steep coming up out
of one of the ponds, very bumpy/stony ... deftly caught by my youngest
in the front passenger seat ... Bloody thing's brand new so I can have
like 200 songs on one cd (MP3's) instead of loads of cd's all over the
place, but the tangs that hold it in can't have been tight enough.
They are now ... ;).

Great day Andy.  Asked for you a couple of times, but forgot your
second name (is it Marshall?) or what you drive (is it a white
Defender?).  Thought I saw you watching some Suzukis pull another out
of a pond, but wifey wanted a toilet stop and a drink at that point so
had to go past.

Certainly good enough for an AFL club run one weekend ... is there
camping/caravanning available on site?  Looked like the fishing is good
too ... ;)

Good innit? AFL would be good.

There are camping facilities not that far away.

It's mentioned on the site, but there are others nearby.

It's a cracking site.

How about their August camping weekend ? 60 quid for the weekend,
including camping and a BBQ ?

Belay that ... it would appear we will be in France for that weekend,
fortnight, sometime.

We're taking the Disco and caravan to Brittany and Normandy with No
Fixed Plan as yet, a few days here a few days there etc.  So if anyone
knows of any French sites in that area I'd appreciate a grid ref or
name etc.  Cheers.

Le mans... and the old Reims GP circuit site.

One day, I'm going to go to the 24 heures du mans.  It is, in all
seriousness, on my list of "things to do before I die".  However, I suspect
it's a bit late to book for this year, even if I could afford the travel.

Heh, ditto ... we've driven through or round the town so many times.  

We did a couple of 24 hour endurance bike races in UK, at Snetterton
and Donington many years ago and there's absolutely nothing that
compares.  I've also spectated at a few, bike and car endurance races
and the atmosphere is something everyone needs to experience some time.

Sounds good, but depends on whether I've got the 110 fixed.

Think our friend from the Eastern shires may be planning a road-trip for  
the August B/H - don't recall the details, but I think green laning is to  
be the focus.

Simon - pay more attention to usenet :)

That was me watching those Suzuki's, the chap on the gate said someone was
asking for me but forgot your name and didn't remember what car you were in
FFS so I had no idea who to look out for sorry.

Glad you enjoyed it, it is a great site.
