Bristol Bash

[Rabiedmushroom]

Mad Ax, Richytanimal, Lemming and I (along with others ) have met several times at Ham Hill near Yeovil. Last time we chatted about having the next meet up nearer to Bristol, so it wasn't such a southerly trek for some.

Venue ideas?

Dates? I suggest weekend either 18/19 or 25/26 April or 9/10 May

[richytanimal]

Ashton Court estate is good, its got some smooth tarmac, plus grass and woody areas for crawling bashing etc.

I still haven't checked out the gravel bmx track at Keynsham but that used to be a good spot.

Any of the dates are fine for me.

I'll get round to a few more places asap and post them here

Rich.

18/19 Apr would be best for me. The week after that I've been roped in to helping someone move house, which will potentially mean many trips to Dorset and back...

Someone pick a good location in Brizzle

[matisse]

That Dates good for me too.

i will check out that bmx track soon, promise.

Any chance of east of Brizzy? Like Baff? Cos I could make the effort from Bournemouth. Best get on with making some cars that work!!

Brilliant! Thanks mate.

[Mad Ax]

I expect this year we'll alternate between Bristol and Yeovil (which isn't too far from Bournemouth) - I want to try to arrange one meet every month once I've got myself sorted.

I hope to have all my runners fixed by April

[Wrc action]

Bath and Bristol area is good for me, just make sure there is some dusty areas of a boggy puddle

[Rabiedmushroom]

There's a lot of lovely woods and hills round Bath. Good for offroading! My work's HQ is in that area; I'll try picking some colleagues brains and see if they know of some good public places for walking (or in our case driving).

[Lemming]

Bit confused (unless the Top Gear calendar is busted)...

18/19 April = Friday/Saturday

25/26 April = Friday/Saturday

9/10 May = Friday/Saturday

Anyway, we can make the weekend of the 19/20 April if that helps (probably the others too, but this ones seemed to be good for Mad Ax).

All the best y'all (in a Southern American drawl of course)

OK, OK, so I don't know the difference between Fridays and Sundays...

I was looking at an American calender in my kitchen and obviously they don't have the same weeks as us!

Sunday 20th April good for most peeps?

[Mad Ax]

I'm game

[richytanimal]

Is this bash open to anyone? I live in Gloucester and have been looking out for places to have a bash

[Wrc action]

think that weekend is free, will chat to dad and see what we can do,

What kinda terrain are we looking at? on/off road anything nice and scale like? I Finally have a truck that needs a work out now :L

cheers

Ryck

[mrpumpkin2007]

theres a bmx track in bath at odd down its ok if i can remeber and i think a woody boggy area

[Mad Ax]

Yes definately open to anyone who wants to come along - we're a friendly bunch

WRCAction:

I'm not sure what to expect from this "new" venue but we normally bring a big variety of trucks. I'll bring my 1.9 scaler if you're going to bring a scale truck too. I normally try to bring one of everything:

fast monster truck

buggy

rally car

M-chassis car for tarmac bits

any miscellaneous stuff that I want to show off

[ryanbored]

Im deff up for it, Ill need to check my work rota, but I should be able to swap shift. My list to bring will be a Mad fighter to abuse. An Emaxx for more abuse, A scale 1.9er, a modified TLT and some choc chip cookies

[Wrc action]

Well I will chat to dad, Now he is back from buisness.

Hmmmm

Touareg,

Schlesser,

Rally

Support truck

sounds good for me

[Lemming]

My parents are now the proud posessors of my Gecko, so for me I think it will be:

E-Maxx (now repaired and running on 2.4ghz )

TLT (for the wife)

Probably the two mini's

Hmm... Not got a lot more to bring really. The Dyna Storm is still broken, the Top Force needs a diff rebuild really and I can't be bothered to prep the smaller scale ones (Mini-T, RC18T, Mini Inferno).

I have got my Brushless FF-01 (ready for making an FTO) running a stadium raider body and wheels but I fear I may break it (also hence not bringing the repaired Avante this time )

Anyway, if I don't re-appear on here before the day, see you all there

E-Maxx (now repaired and running on 2.4ghz )

And preferably not on the same frequency as someone else!

Are we going to Ashton Court like first suggested?

Need some more info (parking, facilities and most importantly r/c terrain)

It'll be good to see some extra new faces. The more the merrier

[buggymuncher]

Hi All,

hope another one's OK ! Cos it looks like I may be on for that date too !!! Betr get busy fixin some stuff up to run. Is there a preferred location yet ?

ashton court will be mad busy, and i think allthe tarmac is in a really bad state, lots of work going on there at the mo.

still got time to find a site, keynsham is a bit small for a large bash, plus there is no tarmac.

The park and rides are shut in bath on a Sunday, and i'm sure one of the will give a us a nice combo of parking, tarmac and off road.

any othre ideas?
