Cannock Chase?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Steve ray:
I'd recommend BOFA4x4 (www.bofa4x4.com) but I'm up there on most events helping Bill n Colin - events are always booked up in advance and everyone seems to have a good day out.

The usual agenda has changed now:

Meet up for Breakfast at The Pines Cafe (on Rugeley Road A460?)

Then off to the 'special events area' for a bit of muddy fun.

This year, we've also ran 3 'navigation challenges' using tulip diagrams, where cars are sent out in small teams, with tulip roadbook and a marshal. Along the way, each team has to find hidden letters or numbers and solve 'special tasks' for a bit of fun.

Hopefully, see you up there soon :D

bigedyant:
Get yourself booked in at BOFA. Best day's off roading I ever had.

 i went on the 11th Aug and have just booked in for November... can't wait.

GREENI:
If you go, keep a look out for us mountain bike riders....was out biking once, warping down a descent and was greeted by a Series 3 coming the other way, I very nearly became embedded in his grille, when I stopped to tell the guy I was a fellow 'laner', he thought I was going hit him !!!!

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

The forestry guys do trips over the Chase, its difficult to get information on this though & it too is booked up early.

Would not recommend this trip if you like a challenge, its just driving round with no technical or difficult areas at all. A few steep ups & downs.  Good for a family hour or so out but thats it.
The trip I went on also had people commenting how fast the forestry vehicle was taking us round, more like an offroad rally! We also had some minor vehicle damage to a friends Navara by going down badly overgrown, tight tracks, Scratches everywhere.

Depends on what your after.
