what is in only 5% of the membership turn up for repairs ?

That'll be about 5 or 6 peeps then...

All rgeistered Syncronauts can join up to CRAG FOC, since KevH agreed this with them.. in a similar way, CRAG clean up, repair and negotiate Green Lane status with local authorities...

We were hoping that few local Syncronaut groups would get involved... however, a lot of Syncronaut's free time is taken up refurbing/repairing/maintaining their Syncros

no "pooh" ! spent many a happy hour building the brdige and filling the bomb holes south of it

think your getting you wires crossed a little there Clive, We were looking at working in partnership with CRAG, essentially meaning that we would have access to CRAG's resources and knowledge base through one or two named members and in return we'd offer help on projects/clean ups etc, unfortunately there was very little , if any interest from our committee so it's currently on hold.

Oh! Quite crossed,

The idea was there though...

Sortof...

Hi everybody! Ispoke about this with the gent from crag last year on a personal level but for many reasons have not had time to follow it up,I wasn,t aware that anything had been discussed formally between the two clubs though? I think its an excellent idea and would be very happy to get involved, time permitting of course.

If you want to look at it historically, my wife Pam & I organised a clear up of the Ridgeway through the All Wheel Drive Club something like 25 years ago!

What I can never understand is why people will haul things like a full set of kitchen units a mile away from the tarmac just to dump it? Surely it would be easier to take it to a tip?

I haven't done any laning for ages now so have no recent evidence of their condition. I bet there no better now though.

Pikeys, traders who won't pay for commercial refuse collection, people who lost thier entrance pass into the local tip, people who can't wait till the tip opens..

yep, we have the scratting masses en masse here, real shame.

same thing happens here,someone dumped a mixed load[rubble matresses tvs ect]by the side of the rambler[dried up river bed used as a road] .the daft thing is if houshold rubbish is left by the bins its taken away!

Yeh, we have the same kind of pigs here! But this is small so soon or later will be clean... Problem is when the dumps are in deep ravines...
Is not the first time when I drove my Land Rover to stop to clean the sides of the road/track...
