Following on from the social and laning trip we organised and ran earlier this year (Pictures here: http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic11643.html ) James and I, with the help of Tim and Anthony, plan to offer a similar trip in February 2013.
To stay in keeping with the last trip we will make all the meal and accommodation bookings along with completing the lane recces. We will be looking to cover some of the best non-scratching lanes that Mid Wales has to offer. Considering the time of the year we will be working on well surfaced lanes where technicality rather than ‘mud’ would make the lane challenging. We would expect to meet up on the Saturday afternoon at the Metropole Hotel (http://www.metropole.co.uk/) a very nice Mid Wales Spa hotel where you can indulge in the facilities on offer before we all get together for a 3 course gourmet meal in our own function room. If last year is anything to go by, after a couple of drinks all the stories will start to come out of who has done what and whose has been stuck where! Sunday, post breakfast, we would meet in the car park for a photo shoot before taking to the Land Rovers for a full days laning. The route will be carefully chosen to ensure the risk of vehicle damage is minimised, whilst remaining interesting for all and offering the opportunity to boost the confidence of those who might be daunted by the prospect of taking their pride and joy off the beaten track. Experienced off-road instruction will be on offer at all times. Proposed date is weekend of 9 & 10th Feb 13. The final cost of the trip is to be confirmed, I will emphasise that this trip is being run on a "not-for-profit" basis. While some of our costs incurred in organising the trip may be partially covered it needs to be stressed that the organising team will also be contributing financially to the trip. We hoping to price the weekend the same as this years at around £205 for 2 persons sharing a room (twin or double, all en suite), this includes dinner, full breakfast, use of the Hotel facilities (other than massages!) pool, sauna, steam, jacuzzi and full multigym (avaiable all Saturday afternoon & evening), plus a full days guided laning (this year we ran 0900 until 1800/1830hrs) . Places will be limited to 8 cars so that we will be able to run 2 groups of 5 vehicles on the Sunday. If you are interested in joining us then please contact me or James (JST) via PM with an Email address and we will send more details. Please note if you wish to take a dog there is an additional £10 hotel charge for their cleaning bill (!!!!) Places will be allocated on first come first served basis. You will need to provide your own lunch for Sunday. Last edited by Mountain_man on 29th Nov 2012 12:50pm. Edited 2 times in total |

Just wanted to echo Steve's comments. A top all round weekend last time..... lanes, company, weather, hotel accomodation+food and general organisation were all fantastic.
Hopefully, I'm one of those three already taken places ? 
Putting an early bagsy in please for tail gunner spot in one of the groups. Then I can delegate gate duty to which ever PM Jnr urchin is selected to accompany me next year.  Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless. |

Excellent, be good to have you both along DJ. Both groups will be non-scratchy so no issue there. If you drop me a PM with an Email address I will add you to the maling list and will send you more details as and when.
And Ruby will be most welcome too (if she can find room in her social calender). Regards Mark |

Be great to have you along Si. Be a bit tame to what you are used to, although I suppose having your better half along might spice it up a bit
