Derbyshire Peak District is ace, non-scratchy and a good day out.

I know a good few lanes there and am well up for it.

Im thinking of getting rid of my At's for some Muds.

How long do you recon from here (NN10) then to there then?

To much for there and back in a day?

Weekends are good for us, as Bec has no holiday left :(

Meeting point is usually The Fox at Houndkirk Moor near Sheffield. Stanage
is a no-go for anything other than 90's or D1's with lots of lift and under
body protection but there are plenty of other crackers to do.
Struggling for a free weekend before Xmas to be honest, might need to look
at mid January unless anyone can do a mid week day?

I was just thinking that Stanage Edge is a bit rough for Nige's new motor
unless someone's filled a few gaps in between the boulders, used to be
alright in the Series 2 though with 7.50 Sats on. Went up to the pole once
from the Redmires side in an Astra and a Countryside Ranger was looking a
bit funny at me.  :-)

Is the road to Hope still open from the A57 past the Roman signpost?  It's a
long time since I've been over there. There's quite a few lanes in that
area, or was.

A 101 should be alright then ?

Steve, interested !

I should say so, but there's a narrow bit with a big boulder you have to go
between that and the edge, I should think you'd be able to squeeze past in
the 101" just about. Very bumpy though.

You should piss it in a GS, couple of places in the ambi I had visions of
gashed sides to the body.

Make sure the diff lock is working for the pot hole at the bottom.. trust
me.

Should have a true-trac in the front by then ;-)

Thanks for the pictures.

should piss it easily, I took 2 fronteras down there as part of the
convoy I was leading, one a LWB and the other a SWB, and the driver of
the SWB had never driven off tarmac in his life, got to the bottom
grinning from ear to ear and wanted to do it again!

All you need is a coup0le of good watchers and to trust them and their
instructions!

Sadly, you won't get BFGs in the right size (265/55?).  I think Grabbers
have some AT2 in the right size, which look decent (no experience of them,
as they came out the week AFTER I had replaced mine, bugger and bollocks),
otherwise you're stuck with a road pattern.

The AT2 isn't bad, but a bit skiddy when new.  Once they're broken in a bit,
seem better.  Got 'em on the 3.5 disco, here.  The tyre bloke says that
they're the most grippy one they can get for all these n**san big-cab things
that the pipeline boys are typically using, which are on some odd-sized 17"
tyres.

In the P38?  Brave man.  Only because it's shiny, mind.  No worries about
getting stuck.  Mine was utterly awesome off-road with decent AT tyres on.

Poor William had an outdoor last weekend, and came in looking actually blue.

Only shot 12 too.

We used to have a winter field league around here.  I suspect it might still
be happening, but I'm not doing it.
