Anybody been to Diggerland ?
Off down that way ,and thought it might be fun for the kids (and me )
Website doesn't say to much , any insight chaps?
Can you dig a hole etc ?

haha, that looks awesome. I want to go, kids or no kids

DAMN It...just opened the page and the song is on..

...I forgot I had turned the volume up on my pc in the office

PMSL ,Guess I should have put a warning about that

It's only about 5 miles away from me and I've never been there before! I thought it was closing down last I heard. Clearly not.

Where's the "play" button? Cant find it

It's a good place. I went when I was about 8 and had a great time. Went there a couple of months ago for a laugh also. It's deffently better when you're a kid, we wasn't complaining last time we went though as we can get people in for free lol.

That would be boring. I'd much rather have another private tour of the JCB world HQ

I've been, its bloody awesome.
And no, i'm not joking!

Been, it's VERY good actually . I was about 12 when I went and I'm sure my dad had more fun than me

the JCB world HQ

I love that sculpture they have outside there, four black JCBs stacked up on their front buckets.

I went past that the other day, impressive looking place. All I saw was a couple of lakes and a big sign, missed the digger sculpture

I think there are 4 different venues around the country.

Reports look good
I presume they don't let you loose on a digger, do they ?
Surely too much of an insurance risk .

been to the original when i was little, and the new one(kent) about 4-5 year ago in the winter with all the snow stuff working

Yep, although at £118 per head for a day of digger racing it's not as cheap as karting, but certainly a lot different. Sod going to Scotland, you know where the 2010 LFS meet will be now!

Dumper racing is £34.50 for a couple of hours, looks a bit more like autocross.

pmsl Tight JCB racing with a bit off rubbing could be interesting
Bet it feels faster than 30mph ,side by side round a corner.
Sounds like a Top Gear show

Unfortunately, no special events for me .
