Was there last weekend, i'm not sure exactly whats going on there at the moment, but all the livestock has gone, its now pays as you go in and they are taking reg numbers as you go in so its definantly more profesional that it used to be.
As for whats it about, its an ex hill farm which is very slippy in the wet with plenty of places to get stuck if your not careful. Theres not much water though there are some large muddy puddles, there is not much to winch off either so good ground anchors or plenty of other vehicles to winch off are usefull.
There are some pics of toms farm in my photo archive.

but IMHO instead of boycotting the site why not offer to help get it sorted??
its plain to see that they cant do it alone ..

Well, I'm sure the numerous pikeys who seem to live on the site (many in caravans fit only for burning; hence the 'van occupied' signs in many of them) would have been able to help, if it had been asked for. Tom and his wife seemed perfectly happy riding around on a quad talking to people all day long. As long-standing, experienced hill farmers, they should KNOW how to look after their livestock better than people with less experience.
For my 2 penn'orth; yes, it's a lovely part of the country, yes, it's a great off-roading site BUT there is NO marshalling, NO marked tracks or one way system, and apparently NO consideration or common sense from the dozens of dirt bike riders who hurtle around the site (and through our camp at 5.45 am!!) IMO it's an enormous accident just waiting to happen...

the thing is with tomms place you can do what you want and when you want, thats all prt of being there,
anybody who has been there recently will know about the registrations being taken down and names being taken also, these are for the books !!! and not for fun
the breezes are trying to get it registered as a proper off road course at the moment. if some of the people who actualy rant about him being a cruel bas...d then they must have not been there, i personaly know of a number of people who drive surfs and discos and zuukis
they all seem to want him hung up like a chicken !!!!
BUT PLEASE DONT FORGET HE IS IN PRISON FOR HIS WRONG DOINGS AND WILL BE FOR A WHILE.
before any more namby pamby wimpy sunday drivers with the atitude i have a four wheel drive so i am the god attitudes slag him off anymore then i suggest you drive down there and do some proper off roading
and not just the crap and diabolickle pitence you call pay and play days
these are biased and refuse entry to most vehicles purely for off road use
there are very little sites nowadays where you just play all day and rome free
instead of slagging of any more why not wait for the outcome of the inquest and actually see if it gets registered as an off road site
after all that is there intention.
just spend a minute chatting with mrs breeze and you will find out for yourself
lastly to finish my rant
chelsea tractors and sunday drivers who think they can off road get a life and buy a people carrier for your kids, because half of the 4x4s only get used for school runs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rant over now
thanks for bearing with me you may or may not agree with me but these are my own appinions and mine to bear
i have been off roading for over 17 years with lannys, rangies, dihatsuies, zuukis, then lannys agian, now finaly a unimog
and i will look forward to the next 17 years also
