Mercedes Offroad Wentworth

As some of you may know I’ve been involved with Unimog for
nearly 30 years professionally and enthusiastically.
in the last week I’ve been involved in the training event held
at Wentworth park covering different areas of Unimog operation
held simultaneously with the Unimog live show.
I have a lot of contacts built up over 30 years with Mercedes
here and in Germany and we have been talking about organising a
Unimog event at Wentworth with Mercedes.
There is an off-road site (built by me 👍 Unimog 406

Theres a large field and all the amenities we could ever wish
for and centrally located.
What I want from people is interest levels and what people would
want to see at such an event.
I’d like to have other Mercedes off-road vehicles too but I’d
have to clarify this with Mercedes
We’re looking at spring 2019 so get those Unimogs roadworthy !

Hi, I'm interested but it depends on where Wentworth park is,
because obviously I'll be driving a unimog and obviously it'll
be agony.

It’s near Barnsley john I’ve allways found most Unimogs good to
drive as long as your not in a rush. What model do you have ?

Excellent Idea - Hope you find good dates. We need to go to SA
during the Spring school holidays so I'll make it if the meeting
is outside those dates.
Kind regards

Sounds a great idea to me.
Been the the Scottish Land Rover Show a couple of times & feel
like it’s all designed to part everyone with as much money as
possible. They charge everyone who attends and do very little.
No doubt a Unimog event would be considerably smaller than a LR
one, but an opportunity to get the Mog muddy have a few beers
and catch up with like minded enthusiasts would be hard to beat.
Coming from Scotland - option of camping would be good.

Hi dan yep camping will be definitely an option to look at, we
may also have any Mercedes offroad vehicles there yet to get
numbers up.

Hi moose, it is good to drive, as long as it only takes a hour
or three after that a Land rover begins to look appealing, it's
a u1000 on ag tyres so theres this agonising vibration and noise
from the tyres, however I'm tempted to make some form of mog
based holiday out of it cos Barnsley mlooks like 5 plus hours.
