Ramsden Lane, West Yorks, photos

[diggerdave]

Took a cheeky Sunday afternoon trip here. Great byway with some slight rocky steps and axle-twisters but straightforward for a solo vehicle with decent clearance. Great views over the valley and the chance to pose with some articulation and popping the odd (slight) front wheelie. Recommended in TOR in the top 30 lanes in the country and you can see why (also involves crossing a dam, which for some reason is always fun)

Looks like a fun trip

Thanks all. I just love using the Colorado for what it's good at. It's just a shame that there are such a tiny number of legal non-tarmac routes here in the over-regulated UK - I envy our US couterparts. I'm lucky I get to use the Colorado for work too sometimes. In fact I had fun trundling around some fields today

Shayne, what's the story with Lincomb? I gather it's some sort of club meet but I don't know much about it

We meet in a field , the fire is normally already burning when i get there , set up camp , or sleep in your truck after having a few beers around the fire . Get up the next morning and go for a wander around forest tracks that have been made to test your cruisers ability . It's non competitive and if you don't like the look of it just take an easier route . There's toilets and showers on site and sometimes a whole hog on a spit roast . It's a bunch of mates who have probably never met hooking up for a weekend getting muddy . I hadn't met a soul from the forum on my first visit to Lincomb but was made to feel so welcome the mrs was asking when's the next one even before we left .

And it's this weekend!

Ah. A bit short of time really. It's a shame as I like the sound of it. I just need to persuade Liz that she will enjoy camping... (so maybe a year's run-up will be a good thing). I only look at the 90 forum - is that why I've missed out on this?

Missing out on a lot I'd imagine, only looking at the 90 forum.

All our wonderful 80s, if nothing else
