The MSUK Jams were in Basingstoke 4 hours from me! You'd think I'd of picked somewhere closer, especially when the marquee took 2x runs there and back in my car! Got a van the 2nd year round. So I'm happy to pick somewhere closer to home this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's all good and yorkshire is still pretty central in the country so can't say fairer than that. Depending when it is I might be able to do an overnight stay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Travelodge with Toby carvery about 4 miles away in Keighley if that helps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 This sounds interesting, but I don't own a crawler as I prefer "hobby-grade" kit. 🤣 However, if I can make it, I'll bring the Revo, and plenty of spare diffs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Id be up for something like this, if camping/hotel was an option of course. I did chuckle when I heard Yorkshire as pretty central mind 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Nick said if it's over 10mph your not welcome. Yeah definitely would mate and there is a hotel nearby so could make a weekend of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Unfortunately it’s going to be a no-go for me/us, I’d have to hire a van, pay a fortune for travelodge, simply have to visit the new Modelsport shop. add all that up to around £500 for 5 of us. I’d be happy holding 500 quid for ten minutes as it is now….. sad really as i was really looking forward to it… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I might be up for this depending when it is and the price of fuel doesn't get too drastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'm going to checkout a site next weekend then I have a better idea. 🙂 For those pondering about travelling a long distance, this isn't going to be a "big event", more a gathering and crawl for a few hours depending what the location is like, then I can confirm more details. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Nice one Nick, if people are interested maybe we could do more than one but in different parts of the country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred barlow Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'd say penistone hill over harden moor (less chance of been a target for one of the flyers and there's more parking available) and there's paths over to top withens (also loads of b&bs and plenty of watering holes) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 I'm off to checkout a couple of places on Saturday so will report my findings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nick Posted March 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2022 Went to Penistone Hill (Google Maps link) which @Fred barlow suggested and it's an excellent spot, loads of parking space right next to the action, some really good bits to crawl and challenge us with! And fairly accessible for those not so good on their feet (no scrambling up hills). I'm happy with this place, so I will now decide a date and let you all know more details on what you can expect on the day. 🙂 Stay tuned! Photos from today (wish we did it today the weather was amazing!) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I know this place, run crawlers up there a few times, if the date is okay im happy to bring gate markers and mark out a set course for the brave to try 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need any help I'm local and it's one of our bashing spots, there's parking on the Moors on both sides and council run carpark that's a short walk (about half a mile) from the Haworth end, also there's some easier paths for those who aren't good on their feet Edited March 28, 2022 by Fred barlow Additional details 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Weirdly this is right next to where we’ve booked our Easter weekend trip. Looks like a very nice spot, guess the sun probably helps quite a bit with that. Not sure I’ll be able to get out to any event without the family (can’t imagine the missus wanting to join in either) if this does happen when we’re up that way. I might see if I can sneak the TRX4 into the car, if there is enough space, and get everyone out for a “walk” round there at some point.

Stick the family on the steam train to have an adventure, there's a nice historical house that's free in Keighley and everything else in Haworth to do (there's even an old fashioned cinema in Keighley) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
