Only 1 week to go to the big Land Rover show at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet near Bristol on June 19th & 29th. Last year it was a great event complete with every kind of Land Rover, Club displays, Land Rover jumble, tonnes of tents and camping gear, trade stands and a GREAT off road course provided by Xtreme Offroad, who run various off road motorsports activities in the South West on several large sites including the off road course at Shepton Mallet, which has been recently developed to deliver even more 4×4 thrills and spills. Massive drop-offs and steep climbs, a chunky rock steps section, deep mud wading pools and a new tunnel in the centre of the course lets you hear the roar of your vehicle’s engine like no-where else!

I was on the course recently with the guys from Xtreme Offroad, here’s a quick video of what to expect. But make sure you don’t miss the Land Rover show itself, where you can do driver training, be taken around by an expert off road driver and even bring your own Land Rover and take it around the course.

Made the local trip to the Landrover Owners Show at Shepton Mallet. A great experience all round – seemed to be badly publicized though, many of the traders there saying it was too quiet. And I found it very hard to get any info on it too! But once there it was superb, great fun, loads of old gear and army surplus Jerry cans etc, Landrover tents, parts, LR branded gear and huge variety of vehicles on show and driving around the big Bath and West Showground site. The Off Road course hosted and mashalled by XtremeOffRoad was great fun to watch as variously-equipped Landy’s went through the mud…
