I’d be up for that, never been to a meet as a defender owner

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 ![]() 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 |

Will do Steve. I’m overseas with work at the moment but will be back in 2 weeks or so.
