Wales - Shropshire Green Laning
I see that after the recent forum problems, thanks for sorting things out Maxwell by the way, that my post re. Green laning around Shropshire – Mid Wales – North Wales has disappeared.
Anyway to reiterate I thought given the superb locations available in this part of the world and the lack of G type stuff going on it was about time someone did something!!
I am no expert when it comes to green lane routes so I thought about using the services of http://www.4x4web.simply4x4.co.uk/index.html.
I have spoken to Keith from Simply 4X4 and he has various routes and of course is up for a G Wagen outing. He came up with some suggestions around Bala, Lake Vyrnway, Corwen and into Snowdonia. I know the area and I think there could be some stunning locations, with little in the way of other traffic. Price around £30/vechile but maybe some reduction if there are enough. Ideal size is maximum 6. If he gets more he will split the group as he has other drivers who act as guides.
Please note I have NO knowledge or connection with the above. I just thought it would be a simple solution and a way of me abdicating responsibility!
Routes go from easy through to extreme. I was thinking along the lines of medium in order to suit a family type outing.
Could go for either a Saturday or Sunday or indeed a full weekend if any of you are up for that.
If you fancy making a weekend of it I suggest basing ourselves in the Oswestry area. I can suggest locations for eating out and accommodation. Plenty available from B&B to Travel Lodge through to Country House Hotel.
How about sometime around the end of March beginning of April? May have my suspension lift and rear quarter panels done by then (some hope!) :lol:
Anyway over to you. Suggestions other than the above?
Sounds good, count me in please. A full weekend would be ideal, perhaps the Saturday with a guide and Sunday without, or vice versa.
Bala is a good place to play, been a few times.
would be if I had a g on the road
Hi All, this sounds good to me it would be good to meet up with some other G's.

Hi all,
count me in as well...fred
The gs from kent x 2 interested.
when exact any idea
Greenlaning as you know does cause some stirring with some locals and sandal wearer's (Mark Blunden not included). How many is this limited too and do you go off in groups of no more than 4???. Can you ask the question as I can see at least 6 G's making there way on those dates.
Piggysims, Can we assume you will be the contact for these dates and that anyone interested should PM you. Can you contact the Jeep club on our behalf ???.
I will be in the canary islands on those dates :cry: . Plenty of pictures please for G-Wizz.
Also we are looking for a southern rep for the GWOA. Are you also interested ?. Nothing major, its just organising things like this that is required.
Russ280.
September would be good.Can you confirm dates so I can enter this in the events calender for G Wizz issues. And give me some idea of location.
PM me if you wish. I will need you contact details so people can e:mail you direct.
Hi All,
I’m not linked in anyway to the running of the club so to make things easier its probably best that people interested to register for the event on the www.j33p.org site, I think you may have to join with the club which is free and then the club sends you out all the details automatically.
Its worth joining as they put a lot of effort in to organising events and have some good sites to use, I’ve been off roading with them for 5 years and never owned a Jeep!
Sorry had the wrong link :?
Has anyone joined and registered for the event yet?
As I will be sunning myself on a greek island while your frezzing you nuptules of in Wales, can I ask that you take plenty of JPEG's and send to me to ian158@mac.com for Junes issue of G Wizz. Also a little text would be nice to go with them. :wink: Piggysims I want to see that 400 doing some trick stuff please :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P
Peter your just itching to see me damage it :wink:
Yes Piggysims,
Snaufreudensnot or whatever it is that the Germans call it, enjoy.
Marcus
Peter your just itching to see me damage it :wink:
Not at all, I want you to see what there capable of, so that you may never want another solihull product as long as you live, well maybe except the Range Rover sport, bit tasty looking is that.
I had one of those whilst waiting for my G, sold last week it was very nice and fast but boring :?
our friends just bought one, quite cramped inside, the gerrards cross mums love them.
i do think g400cdi's are the best thing since the wheel though, v8 diesel does it for me
Tom
MArk have you sgined on yet, Bill Moss have you signed on yet. I'll E:mail our wales rep to see if he can make it.
Registered, just waiting for confirmation.
I certainly intend going along.
It would be good to see some pictures on the rides section as well :lol:
Registered for the event :D
Hi All, if all who are coming on this event could email me with details of who are coming and what colour your G is as I have been talked into leading one of the groups and it would be good to get all the G's together.
Thanks Piggysims Silver G400 SWB
guys if you are going please can you PM piggy rather than clog up forum space.
How many motors are in on this trip? it's not that hard to sort this round north wales. i know of a few mountains to knock around but does anyone know where that crash site is? I've done a trip round the lakes about ten years ago when i had a yj wrangler- no ones perfect? Can we sort out one nite to organize a meeting to sort this in the northwest area ie chester/warrington/sandbach/l,pool/manchester???? With some ordance survey maps n a trial run?
Hi All there will be 6 Gs on this Jeep event :lol:
Cheers Mark. Also had reply from Richard and Scouse G from my previous post.
I guess a friend in his trick hybrid LR will also be up for it. Got to have something to provide entertainment other than the scenary :D
