There are rumours of a DISCO3 site members meetup sometime this summer. 
I'll get organising after exams, in the meantime this would be a good opportunity to decide where you'd like to go and when

Slaley Hall Hotel in Northumberland might be a good venue. They do reasonably priced weekend breaks with good leisure facilities for kids / wives / golfers etc, but .... they have a peach of an offroad course on site. It was built to launch several well known 4x4's over the years so is safe and non damaging, but shows off all that the vehicle can do. Close by there is some splendid countryside (with some good green lanes) and Weardale Offroad centre has 100's of acres of wild open hillside to try out as well. Disco 4 TDV6HSE

I know Slaley Hall, great place. Maybe if we get some suggestions together, we can set up a poll for a couple of months?

OK, so I am the cheapskate again, but you may like the ideas. I live just below the middle of the country, in Northamptonshire, but we do have Billing Aquadrome the centre for the worlds biggest LR annual show in July with a seriously damaging off road course. We also have one of the LR experience sites at Rockingham Castle and I am sure Vic and Mac who run it, would love to see you guys. If that is not enough we have Silverstone, Santa Pod and the new Nasca American Race Track, plus more. We are the centre for motor fun. We even have Cosworth. It also saves me fuel, like my Flash kit etc. Oh nearly forgot, we have the Peterborough LR show later in the year with a fanstastic non damaging off road course set by LR experience. 8)

Anyway, more details of the tour...
3hr factory tour with refreshments - £50
Tour, lunch and experience off road jungle track - £100

Up until recently, they werent allowing visitors to view the Discovery line (the RRSport was on there), but now apparently you can.
