Its my intention to get a club gathering together and venture oversea's at some stage next year .
Speaking with JFLux he has recommend us going to Durler in Belgium and sample a weekend of B&B/camping and play/roadbooks:
Durler is a weekend event in Belgium (with camping available) which happens in May and is exclusively for Land Rover. It covers forested and open tracks in the Berg-Reuland area which is where Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg meet in one little corner.
The best bit is the road book. It takes a minimum of 6 hours to drive in areas especially opened for this event. The guy who organises it knows who to speak to (and who to pay!). On the Sunday, the road book is reversed so it can be done again. The road book is varied and challenging in quite a few places. It really gives you the chance to travel for the day and use your D3. It is non-damaging and there is a small off-road play area as well which can be challenging...

Depending on how long people wanted to come for we could arrange sightseeing tours and so on. And a BBQ at my place (weather permitting... )
My thinking is to make this a long weekend trip. Friday and Sat are on the roadbooks / play site so perhaps travel on the Thursday and come back Monday/Tuesday. The date is not fixed for 2011 yet but I am told it will be mid to late May - so maybe there is a half term around it will be a family trip, or just a blokes trips - all can be decided anyway.
Thought if people are interested they could put in their diaries and leave it open
