Mace:
There are so many 4x4 owners out there who have no idea of what basic  equipment is needed or what to do with it when you get stuck. Personally, I think there should be a minumum requirement set out for all vehicles BEFORE they venture onto the slippy stuff at Pay n Play days. I also think this should apply to our MC events too, including the up and coming Wicked Weekend at Whaddon in March.

We could roll out a "training" session for the MC March Weekend at Whaddon. There's plenty of space and I think it would be warmly welcomed by some. I've attended these type of sessions before but I must state they were very well instructed, it wasn't just a case of this is how I do it. It works well in small groups.

Do we have any very experienced members who would be willing to put some time into a session or 2 at Whaddon, covering basic recovery techniques & equipment requirements ????

Does anyone agree with me regarding stating what the miniumum equipment level should be ?? I'm talking about shackles, recovery points, ropes etc not 35" simex and 2" lifts.

Who remembers DaveLandys huge effort to recover a certain Jeep from the pond at Tixover as an example ?

More than happy to... as I said, I used to run courses for another club.  (Plus I have rigging qualifications, so I can wave a piece of paper to look impessive ;-) )

I am willing to go through basic checks, vehicle controls etc for Discovery owners.
