So, correct me if I am wrong here:

Looks like we would spend about 7 or 8 hours waiting around Sat and Mon to do 2 off 10 mins max sections?

That's gonna make for a VERY long day. Are start times gonna be posted so you don't have to sit around for hours on end or at least an AM or PM start.

Not trying to be controversial and it's good to watch others for a bit but.......

Just a thought, please enlighten us further before we book in

[igbandy]

Yes there is some standing around, but your with like minded people so even if you dont know anyone there are people to talk too. Plus the area is huge, so if you want to go off for a play thats OK, as long as your on 2.4 gig radio.

 

We will also be running two people on a section at a time all being well, so the sections wont take too long to clear.

might go to this do we have a postcode please ?

[Andybra]

Thanks for the response. Both my better half and I are hoping to come as she drives scale and a twin hammer too. However, not sure she will want to hang around for 3 days to actually only really spend what 30 to 40 mins driving. Appreciate that we can go off piste as it were but keen as we are it does seem drawn out. If you know that your slot is say pm or am as least it gives the option to see the area for a couple of hours or something.

Having spoken to some people that took part last year, this was also their feeling. Maybe something to consider at booking in maybe.....

Just some thoughts, I really am not being negative :-)

[Gaz!]

i have been to all these and personally from my own thoughts, once your waiting your turn so to speak, its great to catch up with the folk whom you dont see regularly and have a good old chat, time usually flies by anyway,

 

normal start time is between 9-10am until everyone has done, once on section is done by all (2 groups doing a different section each) we usually have a dinner break then onto the other course, afterwards its back to the camp to either charge batteries for the next days fun or carry out repairs or go out for tea or whatever.

 

to be entirely honest with you its been fine the last three events and i cant see much changing to be fair, as igbandy has already said, once you have done your section, nothing stopping you going off to do something different really.

 

lets not forget the organisers and helpers who give up money and time to organise such an event, without them it wouldn`t happen so i think personally there is a few things that could possibly be done better but i appreciate whats laid on for us to enjoy and make the most of it.

^^^^ what he said haha   a top weekend is had everytime.

[Dom C]

Indeed tbh the actual RC is a pretty minor part of the weekend.   

[Andybra]

No worries, thanks for the replies.

Sounds like a top weekend then and the things I heard were 'exaggerated'.

I'll shut up and go away now -lol.

[Andybra]

Hope to see some of you there if we make it then

Thanks

if your coming from derby side,

 

go through belper and head towards matlock bath, you will go past the turn off for the a610 for ripley/heanor/nottingham to your right, keep going for another 3-4 miles and as you go through whatstandwell you will come to a sharp 90 degree left in the road taking you over the river derwent with the derwent inn pub straight in front of you, theres a little right turn there to the right of the pub, head up there and about 50 yards is a left turn onto leashaw lane, take that and follow it on for another couple of miles, opposite the entrance is usually a big "axial" banner but if you look to your right you should see all the happy campers anyway, follow the driveway to the top for the day parking

 

hope that makes sense mate
