Langdale Quest is an offroad driving cente near Scarborough in North Yorkshire, you can hire Suzuki jeeps to drive the course or use your own 4x4.

The following link will take you to their website which explains what is on offer far better than I can.

thanks! i will check it out! i live a long way from there though... but never mind! i want to keep offroading places, and keep as many as possible!

I have used Langdale this year, a weekend in Febuary! Excellent site lots of tracks to drive. They deserve our support. I have signed the petition, also the Chairman of the my local Landrover club the Aylesbury Land Rover Fanatics has sent a letter on the clubs behalf.

excellent, well i checked out their site, and it looks a brilliant place, unfortuanteley a bit far away from me¬!

The decision has been now been defferred

"IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS REQUIRE MORE TIME & INFORMATION TO CONSIDER WHAT THEY BELEIVE TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE."


details are available on the Langdale Quest web site

In addition over an 8 day period the comitte recieved over 400 letters / emails of support for Landale Quest


Dave

wow, thats loads! but will it help in any way to keep this place going?

I believe the application has been deffered for about 6 months so, at least that gives them chance to try and work with the forrestry commission etc and hopefully come up with a sensible solutuion. It does seem, from reading the objections that most of the problems could be solved fairly readily if there is a will to do so from both sides.

Here's hoping

Dave

good,good, well lets keep our fingers crossed!

Langdale Quest has closed in January 2009.
