Hi Russell we have a few additional new tracks on the cards once more.. .we have done a recent recce and found a few more little gems for you guys to savour. We have over the past six years managed to extend our superb amount of routes so every drive has a new challenge for even our long standing regulars. Be excellent to welcome you and Michelle once more and knowing your adventurous spirit we need to keep on top of our game. With people like yourself along this is the best advertisement we have, to get people along to see how varied and adventurous our drives can be without going that bit too far where damage is inevitable. There are not many off road openings where skill is your best assett and with some modest additions to the vehicle most notably a good set of Mud Tyres can allow you to drive everything we include on these drives.

VA . Re passport We have a couple of lads coming up from Newcastle for this next fiasco they also have problems with the immigration point on the border Typical of these scallywags the Geordies have solved this by a small detour across three counties on uncharted off road tracks and ploughed fields If you would be happy to run the gauntlet I can put you in touch with them Once you get the passport another tax hike. We will give you some good old West Argyll hospitality through some superb country . BASH |

Well, that must have been one of the best Basher events I have attended in the last 4-5 years - stunning offroad driving, stunning scenery and views across Loch Gilp and down the east side of Kintyre and more sunshine than you can shake a stick at, am sunburned and covered in Argyll dust, the inside of the 90 is now sand coloured - could this be what driving in the outback is like - lung fulls of dust! Jasperoony travelled up from Newcastle with his Puma powered 2.4 Defender 90, although I hardly saw him as he was in the 2nd group................... Russell, I hope you enjoyed the weekend and the drive back wasn't too horrendous. I left the forest at 5pm and had a 35mph journey all the way to Inveraray where the horse box that was slowing everybody up had the coutesy at long last to pull over, only for us to get stuck behind a Mitsubishi Warrior towing a huge caravan and there was no way I could get passed in my 90 so just had to sit behind it from Inveraray all the way to the west shore of Loch Lomond when he also pulled over to let all the cars passed.

Tim, Absolutely fantastic trip as usual and Basher out did himself with the weather - fortunately we have A/C in the Puma powered Defender so could keep the windows closed for most of the dusty tracks We left on Sunday at about 2.30 and had a reasonable drive home arriving about 7.15ish. For anyone that was thinking about going up but decided for whatever reason not to, you missed a very special weekend. The drives are some of the best you will ever do and the company is exceptional with the event being run to a very high standard. As Tim has said, take a look at the pics and keep an eye out for the next event Russell. "UNDERSTEER" ----is when you hit the fence with the front of the car. "OVERSTEER" ------is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car. "HORSEPOWER" ----is how fast you hit the fence. "TORQUE" -----------is how far you take the fence with you. |
