Padley Woods

We went again this year to this rather virgin site which is just showing the signs of use. It’s a good site with lots of interest from steep hill climbs to mucky ditches and lots of trees to negotiate. The wood itself holds just enough interest to go and lose yourself in play.

 

Our lads really enjoyed themselves on the Saturday just playing “Follow my Leader” and the Suzi’s trying to get the bigger Landy’s stuck, which in turn led to lots of winching. Trevor managed to use his brand new Scorpion Winch for the first time.

 

The weather was really hot all the weekend and it always adds to the enjoyment of things along with the Barbecue, evening merriment, and camp fire. This year we had a ‘60th’ Party in the 70s theme for our events officer Pat. Here’s Our Chairman Jonathan (118 118) with the surprise cake. They couldn’t get 60 candles on it though.

 

Sunday we left the boys to play while the girls enjoyed the sun and they managed not to do much damage left to their own devises.

 

Always trying to do one better than the last but that’s what boys do but needless to say, we all had a great weekend even down to our youngest & oldest off-roaders.
