Just some info for all the keen offroaders...
there haven't been any manx club runs because no-one in the club has organised one, they all just sit around and complain that no-one organises any runs.
Posting that your going somewhere and others can come on the forum doesn't count as organising a run either.
You need to contact the events co-ordinator (listed on the club website), and he will then notify the webmaster and magazine editor so the run can be advertised on the coming events page and in the magazine.
If your really keen you can go to the AGM next month and elect to be the new events co-ordinator.
I can tell the whinges to shut up because I have organised a few runs in the past so I do my part (I organised the first 3 club runs). The last one was blackduck in may 2004 which everyone was welcome to come to and challenge each other on the hills;

there are videos and pics on that site, again some hills are very steep.
Most of the previous runs have been organised by only a handful of members, and unfortunately nearly all of them (but me) are either between cars or in the process of modifying / rebuilding their cars.
I haven't organised a run this year for 2 reasons, 1 - other people should do something, and 2 - I have been flat out with work and a new house lately so haven't really been that motivated. The last camping weekend kurt and gunter told me about was on the night of my house warming party so it didn't work out real well.
So that's my bitching for today. If you want a run then organise one.
🙂 If everyone organised 1 event every few years we'd have heaps of events.
