Sounds like a free for all but at £10 knowing the 4x4 can't go where bikes can I think I'll look to do that. Thanks for the tip

Think this is the same place that I went to for my stag do - rented quad bikes and had a ball riding through their woods.

I believe they used to hold Hare and Hound enduros years back.

Lots of black, soft mud and water - the 4X4 brigade will rip it to shreds smile

Just be wary if the bikes and cars do the same circuit - the words "free for all" conjures up all sorts of scenarios where errant cars and bikes may meet hmm

doh ! · Clubman A

raced a time card enduro there in 1997 they didnt do anymore as it ripped it up to much all those vehicles gonna be interesting any mention of the insurance thing like if you get hit by a 4x4 or other bike/quad may pop upand get more info

I would suggest going to watch a "scuffle" before participating in one .......

as they tend to turn in to a giant no rules banger race for nutters in specialy built 4x4's

LOL - I did that one back in the days that I was fit enough to ride for more than quarter of an hour without stopping for a rest and a pasty. It was a nice enduro - shame it was never to be repeated cry

I agree with Hampster - I have only ever been to one scuffle is Riphay the one up near Exmoor?) and it was fun to watch but bikes had a separate course - or maybe we just found our own up in nearby woods wink

Yes im going down with 5 others on bikes, Ive been to riphay and the blackdown scuffles plenty of times, riphay is just really a demolition derby :/ But the one they had at blackdown was much better. These types of events are very poplular, will be good to see how they plan it out.

DUE TO INSURANCE REASONS BIKES ROAD LEGAL OR NOT CAN NOT ENTER THIS EVENT
