The Drumclog site always needs preparation/repair for the Comp Safari's to run (our need for speed is usually at odds with the mud-pluggers desire for mud'n'ruts'n'steep drops).
With the 2013 event also being part of the Northern Off Road Club's championship, we want to put on a particularly good event... and that means doing some serious ground-works.
I already have a donation of 50Kg of grass-seed to repair the ground after the event, however we need to fettle crossings and things BEFORE so the event... and this requires a digger.
The landowner's machine is not available, so we need one.... ideally something around the 7 to 10-tonne size (I have an offer for a 1-tonne machine, but I'm really not sure about getting it to the locations, or its ability to do the quantity of work needed)
Does anyone have a machine they can lend us? (if there's no driver, I have contacts with experience, and some also have proper tickets too!)
Does anyone want to support the event to the tune of hiring a machine? (drumclog plant are just up the road, so transport would be cheap :chuckle: )
I'm looking at Sunday 12th for doing the work.
(if we get a big machine, I'd like to ask the land-owner if there's any work he wants doing, seeing as we have the machine at hand to do it form him...)
