Scuffle in Riphay
Picture above by kind permission of Bob Strutton
Riphay started with a Scuffle, “A what?” I hear you say. Yep I said that as well but for those of you that don’t know what a Scuffle is, think of banger racing with mud, lots of thick deep mud — oh yes and water. I’m not sure if the organisers spend weeks beforehand topping up the mud holes or whether they are a natural existence. In fact it might be better if you think a little bigger than banger racing because there may have been more 4×4s in that Scuffle than there are bangers in the UK, I didn’t take the time to count them but they must have been in the hundreds — all churning around on a off-roading paradise. By the time we got there it was getting a bit mental, many of the vehicles were wrecks only just holding together to make the circuit and many of the drivers just assumed that everyone else was driving a wreck and were ramming the car in front to get it through a sticky bit Well as the light faded so did the scuffle and the partying took over. Do go, it is on the first Saturday in Augist and make sure you take loads of drink since everyone, including all the drivers seem to have a tinny in their hands. Do not go in a smart car as the car park is a mini scuffle in it's rights. Do go with old clothes and wellies and it is very muddy but above all go with a open heart and enjoy shear madness in the country. Check out the Scuffle on Youtube
