Cannock Chase?

<< < (3/3)

smurf:
Thinking about it, a few years ago (about 10) there used to be a regular event at the top of Style Cop. You could pay ya money & go play.  It had 3 routes, red, green & black I think.  I remember going with the old man in his Rangie.

This was a bit more of a challenge & you were left to do your own thing.

I wonder what happened to that?

spy:
Well, I booked me a bofa outing.  If you can wait till towards the end of next month I will happily tell you what its like!

--- Quote from: "Landyrover" ---Thanks for the responses! :D  Good to see that access to the Chase is still possible...

Steve - what appealed to me most about this was enjoying a drive, with some techniical challenges, around the woods - is this still possible? I'm not sure if the change to the format you describe is what I'd be expecting...

Cheers,

Nick

Yes mate - it's still the same format. The 'Navigation Challenge' is just something we run on certain days to try and 'spice it up' for the regulars who fancy something a bit different. e.g. these things are usually done for a nominated day, if for instance there's a Club booking.

The normal format remains unchanged, small group, through the forest n mud; with the usual suspects: Devils Bowel, Ski Slope 1 & 2, Follow Through Hill, Suzuki Hill, Bull Bar, The Jungle, etc to keep everyone amused.

I can't comment on the Forestry run events, as I've never been on one. The BOFA4x4 days are 'all day' not the half day sessions as run by Forestry. For the BOFA days, the Special Events Area is hired by BOFA from the Forestry. Unfortunately, however, you can still get the odd walker / cyclist / horse rider in the events area (even though there's another 20+ square miles to the Chase that 4x4's don't use  :wink:

Landyrover:
Thanks Steve, sound good! :D

Cheers,

Nick
