Offroad-Express

People have been nagging me about this, so I've set a date of thr 1st and 2nd of August 2009.

Teams of 3 trucks, teams need to be self recoverable which means at least 2 winches per team of 3. format of the event will be start from the green hut and following a map to a hazard where you and your team will be timed thru that hazard, so you will need a good map reader in your team lol.

This is designed as a fun club type trip rather than a serious winch competition (those that have been on a tuff truck event before will know where this trip/event is aimed at). Helpers will be required, as will hazard marshals. All vehicles will require rated recovery points, rated strops, first aid kits and fire extingishers.

Thinking max 10-12 teams

If you have any serious suggestions these are welcome, any politics/bs will be ignored by the event organiser and his organising team.

Expressions of interest on teams are welcome, entry forms will be avaliable closer to the time.

MORE DETAILS WILL FOLLOW LATER
