Hey guys, I don't know if anyone localish would be interested, but the Staff and Shrops Landrover club are running a Comp Safari today at Greenhall Farm in Llanfyllin, always a great crack as a spectator!
Only just found out so will be standing somewhere silly with my boy and getting enthused!!

Used to race with staffs & shrops. Always fun club as they do inter clubs so there are plenty of motors to watch.
If not racing we would marshal in stupid places just for the action

Enjoy your day…

@kermit_rr been away from racing for a few years but these clubs are friendly & most drivers like others looking over the motors.
If you show your face often enough and help out you do get offers of a seat in racers. We used to do charity days were a large group of sponsored women used to get in continuously to the passenger seats,always fun

Well just got home and met some very friendly people! What a great crowd, makes my 90 look and feel slow now! Drove the course at the end of the day with my boy in one of the vehicles, those v8's on song make the hair stand up on your neck!!!

The downside is that you are going to have to build one now.

I used to trial with one of the local all makes clubs in Somerset in my teens. I marshalled at a couple of comp safaris too in the Minehead area. Great fun and a good way to get yourself known in a club.

Great pics too. Looks like a fun day out.
