Easter Weekend

Easter fun at Scotoffroad with the Mad on Mud Club, we do welcome Quad bikes. The view from the cab, JCB and me, rescue of Pajero complete.

March training

Been busy training with power generation companies this month as well as Quad training, as can be seen on facebook. Pic is about to go down the big hill and a good example of the mud collected off road driving when the tow bar is positioned too low. Bit of spring in the air today but the ground conditions are still very wet.

Back home

Fresh back from a month in Australia on a family visit and I am Quad Bike training in the snowy Trossachs, bit of a temperature change from the Great Barrier Reef!
Managed to have a fun drive in this around the forest near Melbourne in this Toyota, brilliant truck, shame they don't have it in the UK.

New Motor

My new motor's first taste of some snow yesterday. This is our training vehicle now for BORDA courses.

BYO 4x4 vehicle sessions

Lots of people booking BYO 4x4 vehicle training sessions this Christmas, did one today with the Range Rover as shown, great fun. We also do Quad and ATV training however we don't normally get stuck!!
I am mainly using Facebook now to post up images so if you want to see more use the links on the website to go there.
Merry Christmas

New Motor

My new Jeep Grand Cherokee, very able on road and full of good kit for off roading, I'll keep you posted on it but a lot cheaper than the Discovery !
Interesting day training in the camper van above, from Holland, 130 chassis so it was pretty good off road just struggled to get round the corners.

New tracks

Several new tracks made this afternoon, should be great fun if the rain comes as forecast and very slippery, the view from the cab. I have had a lot of Quad bike training this week, thankfully it has been mostly dry.

Spring in the air

Site is drying out a bit now that spring has arrived, still got plenty mud around though, ground out going downhill which was a bit of a surprise!

Mad on Mud Club

George and his yellow buggy joined the Club today, activity for last Sunday, busy times!
Club BBQ is Sunday 30th March at 1300 hopefully on the hill, if not in the grass field adjacent. As usual I will do rolls with sausages and burgers etc but please bring your own drinks, could you also let me know if you are attending and bringing a guest so that I have some idea of numbers.
Last year it was so windy I could hardly get the BBQ alight!!!

Spring at last?

Cracking day of sunshine today and warm!
Activity this week has been hedge planting on the access road and preparing the ground to move reception across the public road way from the houses. I have also been clearing some old tree stumps out of the wooded east section to make it a bit more usable and the Police have been back training on site again for the first time this year. French group coming in the morning tomorrow with 4 Land Rovers before going on to Murrayfield. It's all go!!!

Snow?

Well it is nearly the end of February and we have not had any snow yet, apart from a scuffing. Daffodils are very nearly out already. It was the middle of March when we had heavy snow last year so maybe the Club BBQ planned for Sunday 30th March will be our snow bashing event!!??
Sorry about the lack of posts, I could not get blogger to work as unknown to me some compatibilities had been changed, still I'm back now.
Pictures of mid March 2013 below!

Quad Trek

Quad Trek Leader training in south Fife last week, here on top of Largo Law looking down on Leven with the big new wind turbine in the Forth. Very exciting Quad Trek with good machines and a very good track,  I would highly recommend it. Give us a call for details.

Sinking feeling

The big pond is now full of water again!!
Looking down the newest slope.
The site is returning to normal after a very dry summer, brilliant.
SORC visiting 15th December for their annual Christmas treasure hunt.
Sunday 12th January Red Cross Charity Day.... come and drive a 4x4 around the site, owner driver volunteers needed!
February's Snow Bashing event.. date to be advised depending on the snow.

Clearing bushes

Been clearing overgrown gorse bushes this week from the tracks for the Mad on Mud Club members and also teaching in a Kia Sportage, it is very able but just lacks a low box.

Disco

Occasionally punctures happen, right at the end of a very enjoyable BYO session with the latest Disco. Great fun and very well driven. I did do some of the work! Just took a break to take the photo!!

Police Blue

Teaching today in an ex Rhodesian Police Land Rover, it was bought in Scotlandwell!!
Great fun but very hard work without power steering, it is going to join the Mad on Mud Club.
Still very dry on the hill but no doubt the rain will arrive soon.

busy September

I am normally playing golf for most of September but this year the training has not let up so it has been work, work, work!! Quad training near Drem today and a budding Club member yesterday.
Golf tomorrow!

Jeep

Teaching in a Jeep at the start of the week, good fun and didn't get stuck! Finished the last few days teaching ecologists from Edinburgh for renewables work. Golfing next week so I'll be having a few days off. Club BBQ this Sunday 1st September on the hill camping site, I am doing sausages and burgers for eats but bring your own drinks and PLEASE LET ME KNOW if you are attending.

Training

A selection of some of the vehicles we provide training to the British Off Road Driving Association standards on. BORDA is HSE approved and we can come you to do the training or do it here with our special dedicated training areas.
