Pay and Play Somerset/Devon?

Hey all, Im a bit of a newbie to off roading and was looking for some pay and play sites locally to me (wellington, somerset) to go to and practice. I have been to offroad zone in newton abbott and had a great time, Just wondering if there was anything else about in Somerset or Devon.

Im sorry if this topic has come up before, but I thought I would start a fresh thread in case any new places had opened up.

Thanks alot.

There is lots to do and see around Devon & Somerset, join a club is your best bet SDORC South Devon Off Road Club is great.

Why not make OUR Garage Your Garage South Devon Off Road Club

Allecott pits at Timberscombe is ok, £10 for a Sunday,

Then there is tagging/terratagging/Punch Hunt fairly regular like!

What you drive mate? I'm not far away, I'm in Watchet and have a 200tdi Disco, theres a few of us out here that are into playing in the mud!

Edgie- thanks for the hint mate, I'll check out sdorc, they do anything around the Tiverton area?

Jimbo- it's a defender 90, but it's also my daily drive so I can't really do anything too mental in it! It's got mud terrains at the moment and I'm adding protective mods to be on the safe side.

Mines my daily(ish) drive lol

My mate has a specced up 90 that he's taken Tagging and been very successful with it and thats his daily driver too!

Btw just seeing your from Wellington - you wouldn't be the lad that bought my mates 90 van back from him a few months ago?

Actually, Im pretty sure I am!! Trucks looking a bit dirtier now!!

Lol! mines a bit dirty atm! gonna be coming off the road soon for some TLC ideally I'd be hammering it around the countryside but I need some new tyres, diff and my winch bumper fitted!

after a few laps of a pay and play place, I've decided a 2" lift and a winch are certainly going to be invested in! Its Exmoor off roading you lot do isn't it?

Yeah it is mate, good bunch of lads tbh.

Ive looked on the facebook group, Looks like my truck has a few more mods to go yet before I start doing that!

There's a lot of stuff you can do without requiring extreme gear, there is a few guys that use road trucks for off roading with minimal kit, im running totally standard atm bar a light bar! I'm only going 2inch lift MTs , Winch. Nothing special, might put sliders on in the future.

What's your Facebook addy dude?

i agree with that !! you dont need all the gear i had a 300tdi disco and i could do most of the things mates could do in there trick trucks!!
when my 90's finished im up for some muddy play should be done by x mas

Sounds ace mate! Im trying to make the 90 as good as possible off road without modifying it to the extent I cant do RTV trials or am in a heavily modified class. I suppose its down to my lack of experience and confidence at the moment, But im slowly getting there!

Get some rock/tree sliders Ross, they'll prevent sill/side damage to an extent.

I will do! got my side steps doing that at the moment

Can get a set for a 1er on fleabay I'm gonna see if I can get a set to fit the 300 when I put it on the road!

I need tank and diffguards next! and extended arches!

wouldnt bother, unless your going seriously extreme! and then you'll want a roll cage,

must buy a steering guard, they are worth there money imo. id get sliders first, as you dont want to bend your sills/doors do you?!

Thats a good point! Ill have to look out on ebay!

Do you mean I only need extended arches when going extreme? I was getting them to stop my 265/75 16 mud terrains from clipping the rear plastic wheel arch!
