Had to be honest it did bring a smile to my face on Saturday to see £40,000+ worth of "Britains" finest stuck fast in what really looked like only a small amount of mud

one of my club members was parked next to him and another just behind him i was vertually in front of him we where amussed as we didn't have to much trouble getting out in our normal cars just let some air out of the tyres

This is the 4th of 5th Charmouth i have been to, and the first time that mud has been a real factor.

Pete and I took one look at it, parked on the side of the road, then changed out footwear! Its really not that hard.

Ok, might take a couple of trips too and fro to get heli, flight box fuel etc to the field, but that aint no biggie.

Ill certainly be there for the Autumn event... Mud or no Mud!

Ah ok, I don't bite I did hear someone behind me on sunday clicking away with a camera, but I've no idea who it was as I couldn't exactly look round

I didn't go however from the sounds of it it was a great day and a success.

Now don't shoot me down !!!!! but Just a suggestion for the organisers, if this or any other site is to be used for such a venue and access may become a problem when it rains, may be worth getting a local farmer to supply you with some bales of hay. Then should the ground start to get a bit spongy from the trafficking then just break them open over the muddy patches, it will soon absorb the moisture and minimise the risk of vehicles getting stuck, it’ll also protect the landowners property. Some of those landowners/farmers are a funny lot would be shame to lose a good site for something like this.


I think that’s possibly what the OP was trying to suggest.

I don't know about other people but I have this thing in my head called a brain. This device is very handy in these situations. It prompted me to park out on the road with my 'normal' car.

Big thumbs up to the organisers at Charmouth, fantastic event as per usual.

Thats my Volvo in the pic of post 1

When i bought it the salesman told me it was no normal car.... no sir!!

So with this in mind i charged into the field with no concirn at all, brain firmly between my buttocks

The salesman was wrong. its normal and gets stuck. thanks to all for the push
