Check out my gravel pit!!!
Hi guys i read on hear that you meet up a lot to go on off roading days and weekends at pay and play sites. I work down a gravel pit and have built my own off road coarse and im up for getting a load of muddy sj's down for a bit of off roading. The pit is just outside of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk which is sort of mid england to the east a bit, let me know if anyones up for it or has any idears as to make this happen

Re: Check out my gravel pit!!!
Hi dan i will put some pictures up this week of the site, large parts of the coarse are where we have just driven through the big heaps of mud and stone which have lead to some good tracks being mad which is more fun sometimes lol. I have made a couple of sections myself and we have a water section which is good. The pit is about 40 acres in size and there are plenty of tracks so people can go off and explore. The pit runs beside the a14 so it is easy to get to, i will sort out some pics but its chucking it down at the mo so they will have to wait.dan_2k_uk wrote:Sounds good.

Not too far from me either, a few more of us in the East of England now. I work in a gravel pit too, office based though, but when my SJ is working I get to take it out, even have a bit of wood to thrash about in. Up by Cromer. Don't know if they'd be too happy if it was more that just me.

I work for RG Carter, they're H&S mad. I'm not allowed out in it if anyone from high up in the company is about. A few years ago, way before I worked there, a guy crashed his 4x4 in to a gravel pile (the highest point in Norfolk at the time) and it collapsed on top of him.

Bloody hell !!!!, thats not good. Our pit is called Ticehurst Gravels and is proberly not as big as your pit, there is only me and my father in law who work there so h&s is not as strict but i know what you mean.lazy rambler wrote:I work for RG Carter, they're H&S mad.
