Re: Mendipidy 2015
Just back from Mendipidy as I could only do Friday night and Saturday at the off road centre - first meet and really enjoyed it, thank you everyone involved!
Great tuition from Clive as a newbie to offroad driving, had us doing scary stuff safely in no time at all...
Few piccies that I took:

Looking forward to the next one, let's hope it's as dry, and maybe a bit warmer![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Looks like theres a few hidden boulders about there. Good job youve got skid plates fitted. You have all got skid plates haven't you Les? ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Hey Ben, couldn't you photoshop my van off the ground a bit in the pics so it doesn't look like I'm going shopping

Re: Mendipidy 2015
Can't you fit a bash guard? looks a bit venerable hanging there on a Syncro.

Re: Mendipidy 2015
Reminds me of making this ages ago when on a pretty standard camping weekend with Russel and Jake
The "Hit Zone" looks about spot on.

Re: Mendipidy 2015
Thank you to the organisers. It was great to see everyone and meet new faces.
Sadly we had to leave early due a badly slipping clutch. Also had a puncture and bent a front lower arch. But that can all be fixed. We still had a great weekend!
Rogers All Road was very impressive and I'm now being nagged by Gemma as she wants one. Thanks Roger!![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
