I guess we will have to see how many sign up. Over the last 25 years of off roading on the plain we have always had less than 6 vehicles. Keeps wardens happy. Several areas that we used to play on have been lost because of over large groups so stealth is best plan.

Craig you're right. Just spoke to Richard (navigator) who said the wardens aren't too fussed. Will be posting some dates shortly.

I'm interested. I'll try and drive with all wheels pointing in the same direction next time!! Actually joking apart, my new Pirelli Scorps got wrecked in the ruts last time so that turned out to be expensive. Not keen to do that again.

After much diary inspection we suggest that the trip goes ahead on Saturday the 7th July. Just before the holidays, Saturday to allow all to wash off the dust (and cry if you have let the red mist descend) and also to avoid the rambling Sunday walk crew.

Is the intention to be completely non-damaging? __________________

The plan is to make it non damaging. I would expect you to return home with a dusty car (given the time of year) with the option of mud. We will plan to avoid the scratchy areas and if we come across anything that needs pruning would do so. If you do not wish to attempt a section there is normally a way round by road to meet up with the group again.

Like that pick up Craig Looks the biz I might be up for this but probably will not take Robert the rangy but might take Terry the trayback!! Bought it a few months ago and dont want to wreck it! so this will be a bit of a shakedown.

I was asked on the last trip to consider taking my FF but really didn't want to cause even a small amount of damage so was asked if I would drive the Disco considering the ethos of the forum and the event... Well since then I've had her all painted Orkney Grey so an almost as precious about the paint on the Disco now!!! So ethos will be remembered this time too

OK, I saw that a few people were asking if another green-laning day could be organised and "stepped up to the plate" to coin an American expression and have organised a day out. Now find that we may only have two takers both of whom will not bring FFRR [which isn't a problem unless they want tougher challenge] leaving mine as sole FFRR attendee.
