Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / April 2009April 25th .. Plans etc ...
http://www.cottagefarmsite.co.uk/ Get in touch with the campsite to book, tell them Paul Draper of AFL has already booked a caravan spot and you're part of the party, I suggested two caravans and maybe four tents, though at present they have space for a few more. Post back here, and/or email me (notcheckedever at hotmail dot com) is my email and is real). This is the route planned for Saturday, the thin purple line ... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3367/3423350873_58f6c37b7a.jpg?v=0 .. start at camp, a few hundred yards and we're already laning !! Route is on Memory Map and it reckons it 43.1 miles long. I've done the hard parts of it (Stanage) but not Monsall Dale, though I'm assured that if you can do Stanage, Monsall is a breeze, farm tracks mostly!! ;) I'll be arriving Friday afternoon/evening. Start Laning at 10/11 am Saturday morning, depends what others want. Nothing planned for Sunday, but if anyone wants I have a few other routes, Roych Clough etc that are pretty good, and a few I haven't tried ... ;) Anyone wants the routes I'll have my laptop with me and am happy to pass them along in Memory Map format. Cheers.

Don't look promising for me. I've got too much on, too many bills to pay and the rangie needs CV joints before I take it playing anywhere, or indeed any long distance, one of them is rather rattly.

We've had to knock the idea on the head for now. Dog isn't getting any younger and not really up to a weekend away at the mo. Lee D > This still on Paul, might nip in on Sunday morning? LOL, sorry mate, I left Friday 11 ish so missed this. otherwise we could have stayed. Bill came Saturday, had a good day out ... some good lanes and we didn't get stuck! ;) SignaturePaul - xxx '96/'97 Landrover Discovery 300 Tdi Dyna Tech Cro-Mo comp > ... > Start Laning at 10/11 am Saturday morning ... Brill day out Paul. Thanks mate. Long day, C!, S! & T! slept like babes on the way home - tired & happy. Still washing the dust down. Good to get Stannage Edge done & dusted - for want of a better expression. Also many thanks to J for the Tea, gate duty (we counted 20) & the drugs - head still clear although the arm isn't playing nice. Noted that Castleton, Derbyshire (Blue John town) sports possibly the most hopeless chip shop on this fair isle - and doesn't have a chemist - although if one wants a tractor (red, porcelain) or a cow (blue, porcelain also) for your mantle then one is spoilt for choice. For the record, recovery not required on this jaunt (is that a first?).

Oh yeah, they had a great day, two younger Ts got themselves a bit silly scared at the drop over the edge, but they're still looking forward to the next time. >> Good to get Stannage Edge done & dusted - for want of a better >> expression. > > Heh, very apt. Good day for it thobut .. ;) Aye, would be a very different challenge in torrential rain or driving snow. Found myself wondering about the additional challenges of tackling some of those tracks at night. >> ... >> For the record, recovery not required on this jaunt (is that a >> first?). > > Heheheh, came close ... but that's what we aim for isn't it, get to the > edge and don't go over .. ;) quoting a mate (who afaik doesn't do usenet) "If you ain't living on the edge, you're taking up too much space" SignatureWilliam Tasso Land Rover - 110 V8 Discovery - V8 >>> > ... >>> > Start Laning at 10/11 am Saturday morning ... [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >quoting a mate (who afaik doesn't do usenet) "If you ain't living on the >edge, you're taking up too much space" Can we hook up with some of the Dorset lot? It's a bit more reachable from here than Ooop North. Where's that Ian chap? He's involved with FoDRoW... Or somewhere else more midlands-ish. either laning or a pay-and-play, provided the latter is not too silly. Oh, and who'd doing Eastnor?

Only reason I did this one was 'cos no-one seemed able to put anything together that would suit everyone and I had that weekend free .. ;). > Where's that Ian chap?

I'll look into something, but it'd probably have to be a Pay 'n Play as my green lane knowledge is good for North Yorks and Derbyshire (obviously), but not many places else. What about Wales? Toms Farm is a no-no now, but there's loads of green lanes still, even if they are trying to stop a lot of them, it seems. ;) SignaturePaul - xxx '96/'97 Landrover Discovery 300 Tdi Dyna Tech Cro-Mo comp > Can we hook up with some of the Dorset lot?

Some of the blurb so far; -------------------- I have been chatting with an old friend who lives in E. Devon and who drives the lanes regularly, he has confirmed a good route for us for 1 day, around Exeter. We will then venture a little farther west to take in some more fords and other good lanes on day 2, on day 3 (Sunday) we will amble back east heading home and do some of the better lanes en route. So far I have confirmation for June 18^th (arrival Thursday night) to 21^st (depart Sunday, some laning on the way home). -------------------- SignatureBlast off and strike the evil Bydo empire! http://youtube.com/tarcus69 http://www.flickr.com/photos/tarcus/sets/ |
