Been to this place a couple of times now and it is fantastic, it was faced
with closure when the planners got their knickers in a twist but it seems
that bit of lobbying from fans and customers plus a lot of hard work from
the owner has saved the site!!
Nice to know that sometimes the good guys can actually win. Maybe if we all
became druggies and claimed that the 4x4 was the best way for us to get out
drugs we would be well looked after!?

I work there! It was a close fight. The support received from customers
and others in the off roading community was nothing short of unbelievable.
Without that support, the fight would have been lost.

Not so much of a win, more of avoiding losing.
