jari Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Anyone? this weekend or next maybe? After that is the school holidays... so all of us with kids get scattered to the four winds via holidays and other commitments. Well I do. Saturday weather looking ok. or next weekend? trent park or quarry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Could probably do next weekend, but not the quarry. It's just too far out for me on the bike unless I have the whole day free ( which only happens during school holidays! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdarsa Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Can't do this weekend, Maybe next, depending on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jari Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 shall we try and do next weekend then? Trent park? haven't been there for ages, it is close enough to all of us. Seems like it is a better venue for London folks. Anyone have Chris' number to get in touch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Sounds like a plan! Hopefully....I'll have the Baja cage ready for testing by then. Don;t forget the insect repellent for Trent though! Mossies love this weather. Haven't got Chris' number. Last time I bumped into him he didn't want to talk to me .... guess he's still got the hump for getting banned off here....and coz I'm staff...it's my fault. If that's how he wants to be...that's his choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'd love a trip to Trent, top bashing spot. I'll keep an eye on this thread and see if I'm free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jari Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Trent is the location. just trying to sort out whether Saturday or Sunday now. Preferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Weather forecast on Saturday looks nasty. Forecasting thunderstorms, torrential downpours flood, famine and rivers of blood, with a possible plague of frogs thrown in. Sunday might be a better option. Trent does have some shelter, and is on high ground.... but I'd still prefer to avoid the weather. Trouble is....these things tend to change daily!

Tug Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 If it goes ahead on Sunday, what time are you thinking of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Somewhere around 11am ish works best for me. Don;t know about the others. Prefer to get up and about before the day gets too hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll show you hot... just wait until tomorrow.... Sunday is going to feel like Autumn after tomorrow At least Trent brings shade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I'm trying to convince the misses to give me a lift up there, otherwise I'll be on the bike....which means wearing all that lovely bike gear all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 well...I got my batteries charged, and everything ready to roll. I'll be at Trent between 11:30-12:00 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jari Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Not sure I can make it that early will be more like 2 or 3 before I can get there . Finishing off chores before summer holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If I'm there at all, it won't be until late afternoon. As always, family commitments get in the way of true fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jari Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Others coming late afternoon, 3 or 4. In the woods in the shade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 I went earlier, and missed the bad weather....but not the mossies! Even the repellent wasn't enough. Mind you...that bit of the woods is 'Moat Woods' .... and there is a lovely big bit of still water in amongst the trees where they breed. You walk past it coming down from the main road. Need to finish up the rail this week, and get it run so it's ready for the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Bash at the quarry today, 2pm onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The quarry bash was fantastic! It was my first trip there and it really is worth making the journey for! There's something for just about everyone, but I'll agree with Chris that for general bashing you don't want to go below 1/8. Anything smaller will get thrown about by the rough terrain if you start nailing the throttle. The larger stuff copes fine, there's jumpy bits and a longish section for drag racing. There's also some good rocky stuff for the crawlerzzz........ As it's clay, it's not advisable if the ground's wet, you'll be scrubbing your cars for hours to get that muck off! My Super 5sc flux had a damn fine thrashing, plenty of speed and plenty of air time, I wish I'd taken the Gopro to get some proper footage. All in all a top afternoons bashing!

Big jump, long sweeping sections for speed, tricky climbs back up, plenty of smaller yumps and bumps. it is murder on 1/10th scale though. cleaning when wet is also murder. some video@: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
