I know it's short notice but I only just got to find out myself - there's a pay n play day at Holymoorside tomorrow £25.
I think it's near Chesterfield but aren't sure (I'll be following a mate). Can any of you make it? Anyone been there? Is it any good? Any pics?

A friend of mine bought a rangie, He couldn't wait to get the running boards lights ect ect off it ( must have been 200+ quids worth of parts to sell) it was going to be a trailer spesh, he smashed it to bits in there, worthless parts after 2 hours and it lasted 1 more outing, now he's into green laning but is still mad..

It was mental and I nearly tipped the Troop on it's side again.

Ok. Here's a few pics. of my Troop in action and getting stuck. It's a good job my mate with the Chevy went to pull me out.
Gotta admit, his motor is bloody awesome - it even manages 40" deep mud. No mean feat for any motor, regardless of size. There is a link at the bottom of the page to the whole album.
I know a lot of you aren't into off-roading but it might just whet your appetite Twisted Evil

The pics really don't do justice to the time had, though and the bit where I nearly rolled don't look that bad on screen. And I didn't damage it at all. Phew!

Bet you thought your Trooper was a big car?

Peek a boo

It was finely balanced here and, when I climbed out, it nearly fell over. Laughing

Trepidation (didn't check the depth first)

In the middle it wasn't that deep - only up to the headlights Shocked

Doesn't look much here but those are 38" tyres and one of them is buried in mud (over 3' deep!) and he still drove out.

Overyergoyerbugger Very Happy

See the rest here

Funnily enough, there wasn't a single Land rover there! Not proper Landies anyway - there were two Discos (one of which was really well prepped but I only bothered taking pics of my Troop and Kev's Chev).
Most of the very few other cars there were modded Suzukis which went in on trailers and did all right with their excellent rampover angle and small size.
