Title: pay sites
Post by: sthrifty on August 24, 2010, 08:50:01 PM
Just wondered if anyone has been to Glentarkie,Lamancha,etc and if so how was it
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: Navigator on August 24, 2010, 09:29:26 PM
Lamancha - years ago - lots of places to get stuck - awffy cold . . .
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: georgew on August 24, 2010, 09:43:03 PM
Just a thought,
 but must ask,
was it a warm day everyplace else,
but unseasonably cold at Lamancha?

It can be very warm there sometimes in the summer
& even pleasant when elsewhere is cold.

As Bill says, and we never seem to get past the same mud hole on our Friday jaunts lol
Well worth the years membership fee.

lamancha: its too near penicuik so it shares the same microclimate. plenty space although (least when i was last there 8 months ago) it was large but not that well structured. sure of a warm welcome though and if you go along for the midnight manouvre weekends its a great weekends fun. good value around ?20 a day.

glentarkie:  smaller site but well structured, well laid out. its for members, although courtesy of ross we have enjoyed several trips there on a pay and play basis. if work would only calm down a bit id be very tempted to join. very good site.

shandon: been there once courtesy of james and alex. was in the freelander yet apart from some branches scratching the paint a wee bit it was no damage even to a freebie. very hilly site but with bonus you get a cracking view over the sea

Forgot to mention Drumclog. Only been once though and thought it was massive. Got recovered so just a normal day at the office for me. Hopefully someone else can give a more constructive write up lol
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: Dave T on August 25, 2010, 07:27:09 AM
Drumclog's a crackin playground, plenty of mud and places to get stuck, even in a D3  ;D ;D Huge area and huge variety, all for ?20 a day. The pipe is challenging even in the dry, but not for anything you value your paintwork in, search in you tube for the pipe at drumclog, plenty of videos there.

Colder than other places on way there and back. Microclimate can be + or - .  We got - I guess.  Happy to go back!

18th/19th sounds good, Drumclog would get my vote, but where are these other places?
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: farmer on August 26, 2010, 08:51:38 AM
I have been to most sites plus Eastnor castle,northern sites and southern.Driven in various parts of the world off road.I have found most to be good fun.Lamancha is my closest,they have a good site,as have others,they have a certified land rover instructor,resident qualified medical staff,toilets,camping.They also have of road karting,a clay pigeon layout ,canadian canoes and much more.I was recently involved in one of their charity events .They do 4x4 instruction and I am told "midnight manouveres " are a thing of the past. AS far as structured I guess jumbo is looking for bus stops every one hundred metres or so in case he gets lost.Lamancha is NOT on a bus route doug.I think pay and play sites are becoming stricter and many are closing their doors to clubs like the slroc.I believe you must take instruction before venturing off road,many clubs provide this as part of the membership.Now off to the highlands as a guest of one of the clubs.
The joys of being a farmer,they have most of the land to enjoy

Now the front axile is fixed properly to the rest of the the landie I would love to go any where is good for me.
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: jumbo on August 26, 2010, 10:28:26 AM
farmer, tom has obviously got his finger out and turned the site into what he had dreamed (think hes been there some 20 years now) certainly when i was there around a year ago it had none of the facilities mentioned. tom had a couple of karts but the track wasnt laid out. im glad hes turned the place into a well organised site. it was great place. john and myself went for one of thier weekend events and the folk we met, never seen them before in our lives yet we were made so welcome. its very local for me, i for one would like to have a trip back to see how its changed.

certainly wish tom and phil every success with this as they deserve it
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: Black Sheep on August 26, 2010, 12:28:32 PM
Dates are ok. Im easy as I'm smack bang in the middle between Lamancha or Drumclog and will go with the majority.
BTW, I still have the L plate from the last driving day, so you better watch out. It'll be like playing scabby queen to see who ends up with it last lol

take care
Ross

Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: Black Sheep on August 26, 2010, 11:01:52 PM
Although SLROC club members, it is not a club event and we cannot say that it is. I know this as I organised the Glentarkie trips for members and it was pointed out to me that I could not use the SLROC name by a committee member. Personaly I had no issue with this as it is more about the getting together and having some fun.
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: jumbo on August 27, 2010, 12:14:09 AM
mentioned the usual suspects here. anyone been to another site, maybe less well known? think there was a site near dunbar off the a1. anyone been there? what is it like?
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: Buffalo Bill on August 27, 2010, 12:20:24 AM
If there is a problem with lamanch what about drumclog. Nice people very welcoming called them today and they said the more the merryier!!!

Does any body else fancy that the 18/19th september

Cheers Bill
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: Dave T on August 27, 2010, 06:59:30 AM
Yes to dates and to Drumclog, although you may need to pull me out now and then  ;D

Is this thread back on track now  ??? ???
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: Buffalo Bill on August 27, 2010, 07:39:50 AM
I hope so  ;D

Which date would be preferable 18th or 19th??
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: lreay on August 27, 2010, 08:57:05 AM
Bill

I would be up for Drumclog, either day would be okay for me.

I know RossM tried to find out if you could pay and play and Newton Hill Off Road near Wormit but I don't think he had any luck finding out, anyone else used the site or have contacts there?

is that run over the Corrieyairack Pass actual 'offroad' or is it more green road standard? it would be worth a visit just for that.

as for dates i know am meant to be working the saturday 18th, havnt checked the 19th yet, will do that today. but if everyone is up for this weekend it still gives me time for lieu days ;D ;D

Post by: Black Sheep on August 27, 2010, 10:06:14 AM
There was an off road driving school off the a1 near Abbey St bathans iirc. It was not pay & play and just for lessons. Wish I could remember the guys name.
I would like to see Drumclog again and will pencil in the 19th for towing the tank out ;)
Title: Re: pay sites
Post by: jumbo on August 27, 2010, 10:24:02 AM
that must be the place im thinking of. oh well what a shame we are soooo good we dont need lessons ;)

strangely enough any time the tank gets 'temporarily imobile' the mere sight of the j**p and a rope is enough to get it moving again ;D ;D note: lamancha bog up near the trees :D :D when i did my 3 point turn :P

It's the best recovery devise I know for landys, just the sight of me and a tow rope has drivers frantically shaking the steering wheel and reving the engine one more time lol
and if it still doesn't work the first thing you do is check there are no camera's about before hitching up to me.  ;D

Ronnie Dale is the name you are looking for. Huge site, we did some 4x4 training there through work about 6 years ago - he was excellent.

If there is an invitation open to come along to whatever you all organise I would be interested but time is tight for me just now with relatives in hospitals to visit. I've not long finished an engine swap on my series so would be good to test it out a bit.

Cheers,
Martin.

Recovery as stage recovery will agree is a dangerous game if not carried out safely.Those involved were lucky,see if you can spot the potential what if dangers.What if the car had rolled on someone,what if the rope had snapped,what if? the dangers are endless.The impossible is sometimes as dangerous as the obvious..I am glad to see it wasnae Dave T

looking like Drumclog and i think that Sunday the 19th of September is favourite.

This thread has gone all quiet. 

Is it still on?  Who's going?  What time might we start?

What a great day out, especially as it was a first outing in my new defender. Cracking trails through the woods which I think were new to everyone, awful narrow gaps between some of them trees  :o :o

Loads of photos here

http://s243.photobucket.com/albums/ff15/davetomlin/Off%20Roading/100919%20Drumclog/

think I managed to get everyone on the end of a tow rope ....... perhaps some more than others though!  ::) ::)

It was fantastic, really enjoyed myself. Bill thanks for organising :)
Dave, great pics. I like the fact that there are none of me being towed out and the exhaust pics appear at the end lol
But as they say on the X Files, "the truth is out there" ;)

....missed it an'all. Frustrating day on Sun, still messing with the electrics. Lights all OK but the rear wash/wipe was inop when I bought it - and no wonder, melted switch and lots of burnt wire, luckily it does not seem to have taken any of the other circuits with it.

Wired up the lights using the proper econoseal connectors. They look fiddly but are actually surprisingly easy to assemble and make a proper "professional" looking job.
