Summer Adventure at Seven Sisters

13th – 14th June 2009 (ALL REMAINING MONEY MUST BE IN BEFORE THE END OF APRIL AT THE VERY LATEST in.

Seven Sisters is widely regarded as the best and most varied off-roading the UK has to offer. We have booked the whole site, all 1600+ acres for our exclusive use !

This event is open and suitable to all types of 4x4's from standard with out mud tyres to much more modified.

The area on which the event will take place is a southwest facing slope which through out the site is crossed with number of well made gravel roadways some times with a precipitous dropping as way to one side. There are also lakes, waterways, a number of small streams and bolder strewn gulley's.

So in all a fun weekend for the family as well as a chance for the extreme off-roaders to test their skills.
