Guys, (and girls!) there is a local pub that has a camping field. If enough folk are interested I’ll make some enquiries on price and availability.
https://whatpub.com/pubs/BEN/371/st-johns-arms-melchbourne We have a few easy green lanes in a 5 mile radius of the pub, but these don’t open until 1st May Jim |

I could be up for that, the further north of the county the better Ride like you stole it!! If I’m not on a bike it’s because only a 4x4 will do… 2011 2.4 Puma 90 HT |

The pub is in North Bedfordshire near to the Northamptonshire boarder, close to the town of Rushden.

Morning all
I have a conversation with the Landlord of the St John’s Arms regarding a meet and an over night camp in the field behind the pub. He is going to get back to me, but appeared to be onboard with the idea. As I said, the pub is within 4-5 miles of some good, easy green lanes where you won’t damage your Landy. There is also a big out of town shopping centre (if that’s what floats your boat) called Rushden Lakes around 10 miles away. Click image to enlarge The pub is circled in red and very central to the 3 nearest green lanes. Twinwoods 4X4 is around 5 miles from the pub so if anyone wants to buy and collect any parts this is very convenient. A good article here about the green lanes I am talking about. https://www.landrovermonthly.co.uk/article...reenlanes/ I would suggest that if there is enough interest we meet up in early May? Let me know if anyone is interested and I will crack on! Jim |

I wish I'd seen this before! I run Twinwoods 4x4 at Sharnbrook and us and a few customers would have been up for this! The pub is more respectable than it was a few years ago though! -------------

Hi Tom
Well as soon as the local BOAT's are re opened (Their opening has been delayed due to the wet winter and spring) I'll try to cobble something together Jim |
