any word on the next clumber meet?

[BASSGURU 18]

Good idea Damon, 1 meet per month is a good idea.We could make it the 2nd Sunday of every month or something like that.Do you think we could have a word with Richard Turpin to see if they can give us some kind of a group discount?

[Devilsome 0]

yes trev! there is always that or we just let his tyres down lol []

cheers damon

[Guest joelvardy]

right chaps, this meeting on jan 14th is shaping up to be a good un! [Y] its always great to see new faces so if you haven't been before,  give it a try and we'll guarantee you'll be back for more! []

also need to give a mention to ' joelvardy ' whose hoping to make it on the 14th, he's also started a website dedicated to these meets, at the moment its hosted here:   but if it gets interest hes hoping to www. it, so thanks and respect to him for taking the time and effort to do that, nice 1 matey! [Y] [H] its in its early days but well worth a look and you can add your details to it.

personally i think we should try and keep these clumber meets to 1 a month, i know not everyone can make it all the time due to family comittments etc, but should be well worth a go.[]

also chaps if you didnt already know 'netsmithuk' has a clumber bashers S.I.G  well worth joining for interested peeps. []

cheers damon (devilsome)

I wasn't going to make it public until I had it on the proper URL but as it is now public, do you have any suggestions. I will also archive all of the past meets if you send me the pics and vids (PM me for my Email) as was said there is still work to be done but I think that it will help the newcomers find information and details!

Joel 

[Guest joelvardy]

I suppose this is a plea of boredom but I would take any suggestions you might have for the site (news section, the archives ect...)

Also if you are a regular I will put you on the "normal group" page (with you own email) lol

I am working on a few images from Google earth now (but not quite sure where you go from the main gates???)

Joel P.S  - there are a lot of you on to say most of you should be on the P*SS, lol

Hi all. I'm off work on the 14th... Where is this place? Would be great to give the buggies a run out, and I might be able to round up 1 or 2 others to make the trip with.

 

I'm coming from Walsall (which is in the general vicinity of Birmingham for those who don't know...) but I'm quite good with a map. Just a place name and postcode I can shove into Multimap would be fine!

 

Many thanks and a happy new year to all!

 

[Guest joelvardy]

have a look on the site - www.clumbermeets.co.uk

I need to know how to get from lime tree avenue to where you guys meet though

[Rusty2903 0]

You need to be on the A614 North of Ollerton to get to the main entrance, which is where everyone seems to meet, or at least did previously, so here goes.

From Derby take the A38 to Mansfield.

The go round Mansfield to take the A6075 to Ollerton.

Then turn North onto the A614.

Clumber Main entrance is on the left 100-200m before the roundabout joining the A1.

For more details especially things like getting round Mansfield I'd suggest the AA route planner at theaa.com.

Trev

 

I think this may answer your question, i know it is sign posted from the A1 on the roundabout as i have passed it many times. Hoping this time to stop in and have a blast though [H] I should have my hotshot II as well as the MB, both will be on maiden off-road voyages for me wahooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[Rusty2903 0]

Sorry Joel, i don't know Lime Tree Ave, and i'm hoping the last post i did is still the same place you lot meet lol

[Guest joelvardy]

I am sorry the router I used (RAC) sends you to Lime tree avenue but I thought that was the main entrance???

the 2mile stretch of trees (would they be lime trees..... lol)

Can somebody help me out

[Rusty2903 0]

Where are you coming from Joel?

[Guest joelvardy]

Where are you coming from Joel?

well everyone says you meet in a cafe????? <I haven't a clue of a cafe it this a road one or one for clumber ???

Also I wanted to know how you get to this cafe from the entrance of Lime Tree Avenue

sorry if I am vague.

BTE - I have added your cars to the site

[Rusty2903 0]

Ahhhhhh....Good point.

Having not been myslf either i'm not too sure. All i know is that there is a sign from the A1 on the roundabout that says "Clumber park 1/2 mile" so i'm assuming thats the main enterance. I have a feeling there will be a fair few of us milling about in various locations lol.

Thanks for adding them [Y]

[Devilsome 0]

hi all,

we normally meet in the cafe car park @ 11.00, this is on the A614 100 yards from the A1 roundabout opposite the stone archway into clumber park. we normally stay there till 11.20ish after that we will be in the park about a mile down on the right! look for blue escort or a load of nutters jumping r/c's off ramps! [Y] []

cars being currently prepped for this meet are:

dyna storm [Y]

dark impact

astute (first outing) []

desert gator

wild one

and possibly hornet/frog [^o)]

cheers damon! [] 

[James_0555 0]

Awesome, I'll be there. I'll see how my lot are looking, all being well I'll have the Mad Fighter/Bull, Rising Storm and Baja Champ up and running.

[4x4phil 0]

i will be coming from j31 of the m1 if anyone wants to follow me from there?

[Guest joelvardy]

Well I will get my mum to try and get me to this café but if she can’t get to it I will just meet you at the BBQ area! << you are going there aren’t you?

My cars:
Mad Fighter
Grasshopper
Blackfoot Extreme
???  Desert Gator  ???
And Possibly My New Kyosho Alpha 2 (but really I want to sell this)

I need to buy some new batteries because after the performance I had yesterday I can tell you I would probably not enjoy my first experience at clumber! I think I will get some these: 

C54999

Carson 7.2v Nicad 1900mAh Race Pack

I also need some new transmitter batteries.

I will be bringing 2 Ansmans AC30’s  but unfortunately I will have run them from the car [:'(]

[Devilsome 0]

joel i use vapextech 3700 nimh you can buy these on ebay for around £12 each, i always take 2 of them and normally have charge left @ the end of the meet, also i've never had any probs with them seem to be a good battery and the run time is great! [Y]

maybe worth a look! []

cheers damon!  

[Guest joelvardy]

where do you buy these??

one prob though if they are nimh I can't use the ansman chargers!!  and my Pro Peak Constellation is fixed in the cellar  (but I suppose it could get moved)

[Devilsome 0]

joel they have a shop on ebay just type in ' vapextech ' you can buy them with a charger for around £20 charges in about 7 hrs.

i cant remember who but i think  trevcoult was using those carson batts and wasn't getting on well with them and i think they cost as much if not more than the vapextech 1's

cheers damon!

[Guest joelvardy]

I hate to come cross as not listening to your kind words might sound like I'm making it up to get out of buying those but I think someone has already bought me the other ones (it's my birthday on the 10th)

but I will certainly look into buying some of those batts!

thanks for the help!

  Joel

[Devilsome 0]

no worries joel, there are probably even better batts out there now, but i like them as i was used to the 10min runtime! lol

cheers damon

[kingeddie 0]

nearly ready, bought 3 new 3000nimh packs for sunday (hope they arrive on time) built a new 2100AA pack for my Atec mini monster instead of the stick pack so might be a bit less top heavy now! also waiting on an opel ascona 400 coming throught the post, if i can get it running in time then its coming along too. thought about rebuilding my RW mantaray after spotting some cracks in the rear gear box but i cant be bothered so i'm gonna really abuse it on the ramp untill it breaks! no sandrover this time though as its undergoing body resto. I'll be bringing 2 large car batterys to charge off, if anyone is strugling for charging on the day give me a shout.

[Guest joelvardy]

I just want to know if any of you going to the 14th meet want a Rising Storm or a BMW M Roadster Box, They aren't excellent condition. I have no space to keep them!

Just a note, Would any of you be interested in buying an Alpha 2 GP Brand new built, (If so then when I pick my packs up I will get the pull-start and fuel pipe, also a shell if you want one,) only asking because I need cash and also I can give it you there so there ain't £10 postage, if interested then send me an email through the forum!

[kingeddie 0]

Whoooo, like xmas this morning! the opel ascona 400 came and is in great shape so will be a runner at clumber, 3000nimh packs came, and a couple of cougar projects also arrived today!
