Hi Roachie,
I've followed up your advice and sent copies of correspondence(or lack of) to the relevant governing bodies about this club and their club members.
In my orginal letter to the club involved, I mentioned that this kind pf behavior it the reason why Land owners and the general motoring public have a presumption about Four wheel drivers.
The actions of a few tarnishes all of us.
That weekend we had an absolute fantastic weekend, we meet some great people, traveled some great
trails, but you know? the actions of a hand full of idiots wont spoil it for us.
Many years ago I was a member of a Street Machine Club. You know the kind, hotted up cars, Blowers, Lowered and the likes.
Well, we still had that element that didn't want to play by the rules, nothing you could do to stop it. So a group of us left and did our own thing.
I guess it's the same with the 4WD and camping scene. And after talking to a few park operators and some tour operators that have had bad dealings with this mentality form certain groups and individuals, we bring it to the attention of fellow travelers/campers, parks.
Word of mouth is still a powerful tool.
Cheers again Roachie.
