Lake District

Ah she's alright Jim - I thought she was looking for trouble when we went through it last but she was fine when Jon schmaltzed her up

we are talking about the same person right- one tooth, slightly mad hair, a bit like a witch?

 

[SpinDrift]

Yep, she was the one. She also had a walking stick (or was it a broom) and a dog (which was originally a cat)

more good pics
I must get down there again (dales laning this weekend though)

were those Ceps or boletus you cooked up - its nearly chanterelle season again, great eating

Hi Andy

I asked the expert. The mushrooms were in fact ceps and boletus. We also found some chanterelle. Yum!!

Is that the Yorkshire Dales you are going to be in this weekend?

 

[AndyCook]

Yes - Yorkshire Dales - with "onelifeadventure" paying this time for the weekend,
not free solo missions like i did to Wales and Pyrenees

will have to have a club trip to Lakes at somepoint later on in autumn or next year

- will have to look out for fungi for the pot!

My Dad is the expert, but he taught me a few, but the only ones i can reliably identify are Chanterelles, Ceps, and field mushrooms

 

[SpinDrift]

Ok. I have been researching tracks in the Dales. I have found a few but have not driven them yet. I would be interested in your feedback on the trip.

Yes, we should organise a club event in the Lakes.

 

[AndyCook]

sure
The trip leader this w/e drives an 80-series
and a chum of mine will be along in his 120

Fantastic idea

Hey guys,

I was going towards the lake district in a couple of weeks.

I have never been on these lanes and would love to go.

Is it possible to get the maps or the route co-ordinates for the locations. Plus, I have a standard 100 series, would it be fine for these trails or are they a little too rough

Cheers
Nav

Hi Navraj,

look here http://www.lakedistrict.gov.uk/index/visiting/outdoors/green_roads.htm The green lanes and co-ords are on there.

You would need OS maps or digital maps for the Lakes. A standard truck is probably ok, but AT's would help if the ground is slippery.

cheers
