Welcome ... in which part of the world do you live?

thanks cadarn will take a look and tom i phoned you a while back i dont know if you remember but i lived in hertfordshire close to foley sv overland i really want to take part and prob will i was wondering about how many people you drive around in and how many u need in a team cheers chris

Team must have at least 2 drivers (both at least 18 years old). There can be as many passengers as you can safely transport (legal seating, belts, secure luggage, etc). The entry fee covers 2 drivers only - passengers are extra.

Generally you'll be driving in small convoys unless you decide not to - don't worry about being stuck on your own in a strange country!

OK THANKS im only 15 but me and my dad should be alright shouldnt we, i spoke to tom a while back and he said it should be ok aslong as my dad agrees with the driving i can organise a team and i am good freinds with someone in huddersfield who makes rock sliders bumpers etc so he can get us sorted for it thanks

was also wondering how many miles roughly in a day do you know nad you stop for breaks dont you? ..

Miles a day vary between 200 and 800. Longest day was for me 14 hours of driving. Your stops better be not too long. During the day you will be asked to perform some special tasks. Sometimes this acquires a stop and/or searching too.

oh thats ok, liek i said my dad said its ok and its a little early to decide for definate yet but if we was to do it it will either be me and my dad or me my dad and my dads mate who is 30 so they can take turns driving i will have to see what ever happens i will defo no if i am doing the landy rally in february ill send in my entry form and can easily get a team of a few more peopel i know to join and take part. thanks for all your help and advice and i will let you know what is happening in the new year cheers. p.s i will still be taking part in the forums

Just a bump ... original text of Chris's post was invisible (half a bb tag) so nobody could read it.

oh kk cheers andy also asking u as you are an admin as i said would really want to do it but will only be me and my dad he said it will be ok him driving most of the way and me obviously off road out of the way of other people so would it be ok to take part thanks

Hey Chris,
Don't be offended, but would you mind to use some Capitals in your writing?
As a Dutch reading English is already hard enough. Would make it a bit easier.
Thanks

Lol sorry thought you was English .

Definitely Dutch - he lives in Penis, the Netherlands - says so in his avatar.

Mind you, they obviously can't navigate. "Miles a day vary between 200 and 800" according to Cardan. Don't see how as the longest day (the last) was 875 km! Maybe their idea of travelling from Bergerac to Calais via Poland wasn't such a good idea after all.

Excellant.

Yeah Yeah,
Mixed miles and km up
Anyhow, first day was a 14 hour drive for us, quite some time.
Don't forget it isn't highway driving, hours count more then miles.
And indeed we've seen Paris the last day, couldn't resist the pubs there

Me and my dad talked it over and decided that if we are gunna do the landy rally that we will get a 3rd crew member who can drive, his names Alex a landy owner himself. We will all take turns driving obviously me just off road but as he is 30 him and my dad will share out the hours driving, Cheers for all your help and advice everyone.

Time to introduce you to Kieran who at 16 and having got his own LandRover "Pinky" decided we would do Landy Rally. He got all the family interested and the day he reached 17 started the task of passing his driving test. He applied and the first available date was three months later so off he went. Passed his test and was all ready to go when we discovered that most countries in Europe will only let you drive once you reach 18 !

So like you his dad did all the on road driving and he did all the off road stuff.

Kieran has since driven Landy Rally twice and is hoping to get the funds together to do it again this year.

Good luck and hope to see you around soon

landy rally wahts that?
My Advice ( capitols in use here)
DO IT!!!!!!!!!!
keep a sense of humor and sense of party at all times and you will love itmeand pinky will hopefully be at the start line in 2010 providing the beer tokens arnt spent on beer, which should be ok as i will be in a caavan in the middle of no where all summer so nothing to spend money on

its a good Laugh
almost forgot, aim to be at a few shows to meet

anyhow where was i?

kieran

Good advice, even though he's obviously the worse for wear. Nothing new there then!
