I remember that you're the chap who doesn't list his details, which is cool. However, with no vehicle details I'll have to pick my brain to remember what you drive. Newish defender 90? I think so, which puts you into ALRC territory.
The Staffs and Shrops are wonderful people who run very friendly events including many family based weekends. You enjoy thier company I'm sure.

Try that and best of luck. If you enjoy a technical element to your driving then you'll like trialling. Now get out and measure your turning circle! :lol: (everyone who's ever trialled will know what I mean!)

Thanks for the info Jeremy.
However, after the "grief" last time about not having details filled in i filled them in striaght away, and if you click the "vehicle" tab at the bottom of my posts youll see its all there :p

Depends which bit of Sattfs but you could try some of the Midland Off Road Club trials - they have one at Ironbridge this sunday the 29th. By and large they are non damaging excepting from driver error. In particular Ironbridge should be although if it's wet just moving about is a challenege there.
Equally AWDC trials are non damaging but the opportunity for making a mistake might be higher. That said I drove my standard 90 at their recent trial at Farley Quarry and although it was a demanding trial all I got were a couple stones flying about underneath and the front bumper took some strain again. I would say you have to regard some things as sacrificial and tyhe front bumper is one of them!
I'd say go for it. Personally I find single marque clubs very boorish so I'd go for the likes of Midland Off Road Club or AWDC as you'll get all sorts of vehicles including a G Wagon at Farley.
Go along and watch to start with - and see if you can blag a passenger seat!

No probs Smo.
The only other thing is a good front recovery point. Towing eyes wont do the job, but Jates are a good idea.
If you fancy finding out what it's all about you can passenger me with pleasure, next RTVT for Leicestershire and Rutland is Stainby second weekend in June.
Hope you join in and have fun, be careful it's addictive!
You're truck sounds well equipped and Oslo looks cool on a 90!
