Eventsand outings

27th Sept, Shropshire

With Mark Birkitt leading the way in theWhite Peril with Fiona and the familyproviding navigation and entertainment,Ray, Keith, Billy, Steve and Noel ventured

out for a day across Shropshire.

With lanes varying from mild to moderatelydifficult we covered approximately 60 mileson lanes, and an enjoyable day was had byall, even with very tight lanes and then whenall roof racks had to be removed!

19-21st Sept, LRO Peterborough

A late entry for us this year due to overbooking, but with a push from our fabEvents Coordinator Mark B we managed toget a slot at the last minute! The best showat this ground for several years there was alot to see, a lot to buy and a great range ofdisplays, including a show in the dark!

A really good turn out left us with a cosystand next to the toilets (which was very

handy), and much merriment was had, withregular show attendees and a couple ofshow virgins!

We met up with a few regular stands suchas GLASS and LRO, but also with our newfriends from Key to Africa, finally getting tohave a brew with them after several showsof promising! For more information on theseguys doing their charity drive down Africa

visit http://www.key2africa.org.uk/.

In the evenings there was the obligatory fewsmall explosions courtesy of Bazs magicbottle (with Rogers hair and Steves leg

taking the brunt of it) and a lot of laughs,plus over the weekend 4 new memberssigned up and a lot of money spent onessential new parts! Role on 2015!

27-28th Sept, Adventure Overland

This year's Adventure Overland Showreturned to the horse racing course atStratford upon Avon. As we had not longcompleted an adventurous overland trip in

the John OGroats to Lands End trip we feltthat this was an ideal location to publicise itand gain some new interest in the club.

The organisers gave us plenty of space, so

Russ, Gill, Eddie, Tracey and Chris wereable to spread out the display area. On the

Sunday they were joined by Mark and Rogerwhich made the display even moreimpressive.

.

The show is more than just Land Rover-based, although there were plenty to beseen amongst the Japanese trucks andoverland-converted ex-Army vehicles. Thetrade stands were full of useful ideas forvehicle improvements and of places to visit.

The date for next year is already in the diary

- late September - and we hope we can puton even more of a display!

26th Oct, Melton Mowbray & surrounding

With 9 vehicles, 14 people and 5 dogsCLRC set off into Leicestershire, notknowing just what lay in store.

Covering only half of the original route wecovered over 50 miles on lanes, with

difficulty ranging from easy to moderate,although the mud made for some giggles.

We were very pleasantly surprised with thequality and quantity if the lanes, and alsoamazed at the shear number of off roadmotorbikes we encountered! Plus a tool in aP38 that tagged on! Well done to Graham

for getting to practice his recoverytechniques and pulling him out of the sludge

when he chose his own route!

It is a route we shall definitely visit again,going the opposite way in order to get in thesecond half. Proves that we dont have to

just go north or west!
