Hello all

Hi and Welcome, looks like a NW Meet will have to happen! Plenty of sites local to us all inc cowm, briercliffe, and parkwood oh and hill n ditch but bored of that!

Cheers Gaz...
As i've never really done any offroading before are there any tracks around here suited to virgins?

To be honest id go to a play day first and just do the easy bits, There will be people about to help if you get stuck. I don't recommend greenlaning going solo as if you get into difficulty then you might get a little stuck.
Some advice you will be given is rubbish and some may be helpful. DO NOT ask landrover drivers!!!!!
Best thing to do is keep you eye out on here for a greenlane or play day meet and we will all do our best to help you.

Cheers Gaz for the info.

Not got it yet then?

welcome big p. Im not that far from you, im from whitworth and im only about 5 mins from cowm so if where having a meet there give me a shout

av u got it.

You must have it now. Surely.

recon a north west outing is order at some point we have never been off roadin n thers a couple of others round hear that have never been eather,be good to go somewhere easy 4 bigginers or something but with some experienced offroaders.


was guna go parkwood today but you have to have done a bit off roading befor or a bit of training rang up n i should of rang earlyer in the week coz could of dun 1 hour traning befor it opens at ten to everyone else and then dun the pay and play day,trainings only 40 qwid for the hour.hope fully next time its on il go.

You don't need training! Just take things easy and don't be afraid to ask if you are unsure.
I went to Cowm for my first playday (driving legal myself) and just pottered about going through the easy bits.
Watch others doing stuff and then decide if I felt up for it.
I will go a'lot further now I have a 4x4 that I don't mind the odd dent or scratch, and also it is more capable than the old lwb pajero I used to go with.

After next weekend at the 4x4 show I'm up for a playday, but this will more likely be Briercliffe as I have not yet been there and it is also the nearest to myself.

Getting a bit boring driving the jimny around Lytham and St.Annes atm, people keep staring at me. Even nearly caused a nice crash as a guy was more interested in my jimny than the car he was about to pull out into.

I saw another black Jimny in B & Q carpark this afternoon. It had mud tyres on so another possibe contender.

Yes got it folks and got well and trully stuck in a boggy field today.
I was shocked really as I thought it would have been more capable in a bit of mud.
Oh well luckily the local farmer towed me out or else i'd have still been there now .
