There has been a bit of a storm kicked up over here about Mike Plompen and a few guys (inc Torkel) going out and offroading while they were over here in UK.
Mike put up a video on Youtube (which has now been removed) as well as on the front page of busman.be (again this has now been removed) of them offroading on footpaths on the top of the Malvern Hills and through an archeological site.
Mike has since put up an apology on a forum saying how sorry he is about what's happened about that they didn't realise what they were doing was illegal.
I'm not sure if this has gotten through to everyone over there or not and my letting you know is not to have a go but to pass the word around that unfortuately in the UK, you can't just go offroading without checking very carefully with the local councils where is and is not legal to drive.
I've been asking for an offroad course at Vanfest for the last 3 years without success. Hopefully some good will come of this and we'll get an offroad course!
Off course!
mvh, Andrew
