Friday 28th April to Monday 1st May 2006. Somewhere in the North West of England (Cheshire), there will be the first gathering of UK mog owners. We'll show those yanks how to throw a party and get lost in the wilderness. In homage to NorthWest Mog Fest and Calico Mog Fest Friday - Arrive and drink. Saturday - More arrivals and a quarry visit (now booked)in the afternoon. BBQ Sunday - Drive out and green lane mission in the Pennines somewhere. Monday - Going home!

Most Unimog related mailing lists / forums are European
(I can't read them), or North American based with some UK moggers lurking around. Every time a UK mogger appeared, I'd mail them and got to know a few - surprisingly, two within 10 miles of my house. I've borrowed tools, dispensed and received advice, swapped parts and tyres, etc. We haven't actually driven our mogs out - as they're all being rebuilt! We're all going to meet! |
Mogstock is private, please contact me if you want to come jim hat foodfight. org. uk - we are a friendly bunch - but want to know who's coming.
Mogstock will cost some money, not a lot, but some. Apart from fuel, expect a few quid for camping, and to have to pay for use of an off road course.
Saturday - More arrivals, and a visit to a local quarry site (Hill and Ditch, Mouldsworth), which is about 15 miles from the camp site. It is an old sand quarry in a big pit, with water and rocks and sand and mud. (Now booked)
Latecomers can meet here, or we can send a dispatch to meet you. BBQ at night & I'll see about a fire.
Sunday - Drive out up the Cat and Fiddle road up to Macclesfield for lunch at the pub at the top (we can scare a few bikers). From there, we will do some green lanes. Routes are being examined as we speak.
Monday - Going home, at a stately and dignified speed!
--- Camp equipment - chairs, gazeebo's, BBQ equipment.
--- Recovery equimpent - I have a steel mog recovery bar for pintles, but a few bits of rope & shackles would probably be useful.
--- Walkie talkies - I'll grab a few of the cutesy modern little ones, others would be useful.
--- Wood - if we're allowed a fire, wood would be useful.
--- Any spares to trade, see the Wanted page.
