Bashing meet up.

Plug

Here goes I think we had this topic before but not sure did it ever worked out
Could people on this forum meet up for a bash sometime maybe in the bankholiday weekend in augest. I think it would be a good laugh tho it isit exactly convieniet for people living all over the place having to drive a good distance. A venue where its not as far for everyones sake.
How about it?

i love this idea, now.. lets get busy!! oh and i like the way you say august that gives me loadsa time to get stuff ready!!! you could make a kwik poll mayb?? c where suits the majority/?

vectra

Why dont you head over to Navan some sunday?
The guys there have regular meets and it wouldnt be too far to travel

Plug

Well I think the majority live in Dublin but what about people in Cork and other places far from Dubland? I think most people will be free on the bank holiday weekend unless there going out on the piss:D

no leaf clover

hahahahah well, they'll just have to prioritise!!! altho i dont know if "dont drink and drive" applies to models!!!

Plug

Would anyone be intreasted going to an outdoor skatepark,(halfway between Waterford and Kilkenny) biggest in Ireland, lots of ramps and stuff there:)
It would suit monster trucks and buggys.

Im interested, once i dont have to travel far, id say my dad wont bring me any where out of a 30min drive

Plug

Go to your dad and say "Da do you know the way I love you and you love me, well will you give me a lift more than 30m":D
C'mon anymore places you can think of;)

120 round trip..:o

Plug

Not that bad. Thats 60 miles either way, right?
How about people in Dublin, how far is Waterford from there?
I,m just saying Waterford because theres an outdoor skatepark near there and its the best location for everyone.

no leaf clover

well..in a straight line on google earth, waterford is about 100!!! tried to use aa route planner...but seemingly waterford is 2 miles on teh r120..so i think they may b "experiencing technical difficulties!!!


***edit*** 75 miles to kilkenny,

Plug

So its 20miles to that skatepark from Kilkenny, so your talking under 100miles:o

no leaf clover

hahahhahah yes...technically!!!! under 100!! and since they dont issue licences out to under 18's im down and out!!

Plug

I don't think this is going to work out:(

You're all able to buy a bus ticket, surely?

Cheaper than petrol and nearly as fast. No problem

Plug

By the time you get there and then you have to get the bus back at around 6, so they would only be a few hours of driving.

The curragh would be a great place for a meet. Huge areas to bash around and lots of nice hills and hollows to jump...
Definately worth considering. 45mins from Dub.

coolwings

FYI
There are monster truck and buggy guys already bashing in the Curragh.
They are at "The Plains" area.

When are they there? We have been over a few time and haven't seen anyone else.
Where do they bash? The best area is across the road from "Donnelly's Hollow" It's a former Army 4x4 practice area. Massive hills and hollows over an area of a couple of acres.

I dont mean to be stupied but were is the curragh? Sounds like a good place I might be able to get a lift up there sometime.

It's in Co Kildare, between Newbridge and Kildare town. There is a train station in both towns too for those further away.

This pic shows a small bit of the area I'm talking about.

Crikey that looks class(very mukky) are you sure your allowed in there? I don't want to get shot:D

It's not normally that mucky, that's an old pic, the Army don't use it like that anymore. I've used it for some offroading in my 4x4 in the past. But it is a class area for RC's. And the whole curragh is covered in fine short grass, so there is loads of areas for sustained high speed runs.
One place I use is an old military shooting range. It has a hugh earth mound 15ft high as a target backdrop and a big channel about 4ft deep all around. If you climb up on the mound you can race all around it flat out.

I'm telling you lads, the place is perfect for us...

Plug

I wouldn't have any problem going there, but what date would suit everyone, I think the bank holiday weekend in Augeust sounds good:) I,ll have to get a engine mount first tho:(

BFassassin

i like the sound of all this but im not sure if i would be able to get to it:( .
you never know though things might change before it happens

Plug

How many people could actually make it? I have no problem, tho pretty pointless if only a few people are going.

EIRE-MAXX

maybe the dublin lads can meet somewere how many are we talking????

Plug

Well we were hoping for most of the lads and girls on this forum to meet up somewhere, I think now the best venue sounds like the curragh:) How are you fixed for there?

Cmar-Ireland

Well count me and my brother in, (stephenmarr on here)

g5hn710m4xpdwy

hummm the curragh, I can probably make it, and my bro wil be there, infact he may drive us there if he knows the way, no nagging dad:D

Plug

Me and Goldwing could get a lift off my father.

EIRE-MAXX

yep sounds good to me i can make that:D

Plug

Right....so thats about 6-7 people coming so far, anyone else? The more the merrier:)

vixen2005

would love to go hope to have my body by then lol.
curragh sounds good and loads of ramps etc can get some friends to go they all bught new buggies first time out you boyz can show em what to do.

thanks for the invite lads me been a gal an all

Plug

So thats about 10 people coming so far which is good, but are ye sure that ye can make it on that bank holiday weekend?
Oh...just one thing crossed my mind, what about the frequencys that we will be running on? Mine is 27.125mhz.

tallus

The Curragh sounds good to me too, when is the long weekend?

Plug

I think its the second weekend in Augest
