Terratagging? Suzuki Trialing? Green Laning? Extreme Off Roading? Concours d'Elegance?
Green Laning events - we had some superb runs out in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, more in the early part of 2007 too. This element of Club ZULU Membership hoped to grow further in 2007, but UK Government Pooness meant moving to France for this glorious way of viewing the Countryside for all, particularly the Disabled, may well be the only way forward. In retrospect this has now been the case. Since May 2007 the number of driveable tracks in Somerset is reduced to 9. Do the right thing for you and your Children, preserve Countryside Rights of Way for Motorised Vehicles, or watch huge areas of Publicly owned land disappear from Public access forever... View the Definitive Map online on the Rights of Way page for Somerset County Council. The September 2008 AWDC HOWLIN' WOLF CHALLENGE EVENT was a massive success!! Thanks to the many Club ZULU Members and friends of the Club who attended. We were invited back to do the same on the weekend of 1st and 2nd of August 2nd 2009. This was attended on the weekend by many Members and friends, many thanks to all who participated, the Pig Roast and Bonfire were amazing! It was great to participate in this prestigious National Event, and Neil Whitford of the AWDC deserves much credit for the amazing organisation and professionalism of him and his helpers. Thanks! A full report and pics are available to anyone interested, just email me and ask. Next Event is our Christmas Special at Binegar Somerset. Event takes place on Sunday December 13th. If you have never tried a fun and friendly Off Road day out, please come along and either watch or enter - we hope to make you feel welcome. This site is located at Binegar Somerset, near Gurney Slade; and a good sized site, offering a broad mixture of mild to difficult terrain, lots of gravel and stone - any wet weather should only add to the fun! Please feel welcome at this next event, and tell your friends to come along as well, entry is £25 per Team vehicle. Go on then, bring your Suzuki or other make of 4x4 and enter on the day, should be loads of fun and good value for four solid hours of 4x4'ing and puzzling out... hope to see you there? Bringing dogs is not recommended due to the nature of the event, they MUST be on leads or contained in vehicles. For more details contact: Mobile Trailer Services (Terry) on 07877 132559 Southwest Suzuki Centre (Chris) on 07984 701457 Club ZULU (me) on 07879 673038 or email: minky@lulgate.freeserve.co.uk Alternatively, our new Website on www.Terratagging.com is now live, and has event details, a photo gallery, contact information and much more. Entries will be taken from about 8.30am,please be prompt as the event starts at 10:00am romptly and runs until 2:00pm. Two classes of vehicle only: Mot'd and taxed and non-modified - and those that aren't. Simple and commonsensible rules, the emphasis is on a Fun Day Out!! Some forty punches will be located around the site. When the event starts at 10:00am, try to get your 4x4 close enough to the punches to mark the scorecard attached to your nearside Window frame. Some easy, some hard, some are really tough! Hope to see lots of Club ZULU Members and old friends on the day yet again, Catering facilities should be available for hungry participants and spectators alike, see you there... Social Evening By request we are having a social evening on Tuesday December 15th at the Rose & Crown Public House, Cannington Somerset. All are welcome from 7:30 pm onwards. |

Responsible Green Laning We used to go Green Laning Responsibly on R.U.P.P.'s, Roads Used as a Public Path. Many of these have disappeared around the UK. As Green Lanes are lost to the Public, or down graded to Bridle paths, massive amounts of English Countryside will be banned to most people. This includes many people with Disabilities. We like Horses, and Ramblers just fine too. If we don't occasionally use Green Lanes, the overgrowth closes them on its' own, as we saw in 2002 after 2001's Foot and Mouth epidemic left them untravelled for many months. There was a "Mechanically Propelled Vehicles on Rights of Way" consultative document before our Government which appeared to be largely based on fantasy. You can still request your nearest Green Lane (or 2 or 3) be upgraded to a Byway Open To All Traffic as soon as you can. I can help supply the paperwork to do this by E-Mail at your request. It is pretty much too late now, but you have a right to be heard by your MP, MEP, and Disability Access Department of local Government now! New Definitive Map for Somerset is now online, so legal and fun Green Laning can resume. The Club ZULU idea of a good day out is "Mud on the roof, and nothing broken", we are happy to give friendly advice, always travel with two or more vehicles, and try to carry Rope, Shovel, Mobile Phones,basic tools, water and fuel. The driving part is up to you, and nobody minds if you back down from a particular obstacle. |

Your Local Council will have a "Rights of Way" Officer. Ask to see the Definitive Map at your Town Hall, and see which routes can be used legally and properly for off roading in your County.
