Another Surrey Green Lane and Off-Road Tossers Wombat hunt

Blue Sweeper · Mar 27, 2004

For those of you that haven't been following the other thread's in this forum. It has been decided to hold yet another meeting on Sunday 18th April, starting and finishing at Newlands Corner car park near Guildford on the A25 - Dorking Road.

Streetmap is HERE

Be there or miss out on a fun day. Look forward to about 50/60 miles of dirt with a stop at a pub half way round for lunch.

Please put a posting here if you intend to come along.

Roy.

experience

Turbine

I went on Sunday, I am (was ?) a complete novice on a KTM 520.

It wasn't easy and quite physically demanding but well worth it.

You will get plenty of support from the rest of the group, from riding advice to picking you and your bike up after a tumble. (and you will tumble so make sure you have protection)

We all have to start somewhere.

Dave

oh and it also helps if your name is Dave, at least 25% of the riders on Sunday were Dave's !

Hmm, not got crash bars on her yet so I think I'll give it a miss in that case.

Besides, I'm a David, not a Dave

on a GS ?

I certainly wouldn't attempt it on my GS1150.

turbine_2 · Mar 29, 2004

Urk, now I've see the pictures I think you're right. Probably not the ideal first timer's outing.

Harv · Mar 29, 2004

I fancy summer that....

...put me down for a 'definite maybe'...work allowing...any trailer parking there?
What about security or do you chain it to yer motor?

I am in, the car park is not easy to find from a basic map so follow another or find a friend that knows the way, the car park is big enough for Cars and Trailers but you have to un-hitch and stick a lock on the trailer (although the carpark was busy from when we left to when we returned so I would put the security risk at minimal).

Come along you will have a great time!

mrTickle · Mar 29, 2004

I'm up for the 18th -wouldn't miss it for anything :beerjug:

Mucky Helmet · Mar 30, 2004

Me..

...too!

By which time I'm hoping PDQ will have "breathed" on the XR and it'll be a lot easier to start!

That's if I ever get it back together again. Whilst she may be nice and clean now I fear I may have ventured past the boundaries of personal knowledge!!

Dave McKelvey · Apr 15, 2004

Add me to the list Roy.

Just got the OK from the doc's so I'll be there with my DRZ..

I may duck out after the lunchtime "stop" depends how the old body feels.

Oh and yet another Dave

Simon Crewe · Apr 16, 2004

If it's ok I will be joining you guys with a friend in tow, but on my KTM not the GS!

Thanks

Sunday Wombat Hunt

I feel sure that yet again we won't find any Wombat's

But I guess we'll have a good time trying.

For those of you tempted, Nobby went round the course on his GS PD last time. But please be aware that this is not for the faint hearted if you attend on a GS big trail bike. If you are an experienced off-road rider, you are more than welcome to try it on a GS.

For the rest of us and those that don't want to get their shiny GS muddy, we will be using our pogo-stick bikes (mine is orange).

The hunt will start at 10:00 from the usual meeting point at Newlands Corner, on the Dorking road out of Guildford.
