Saturday 18th December laning in Wales

[Jon Wildsmith]

I found a picture of the lane I thought we should skip with things being a bit slippy nothing to it without snow but it's quite a long way down so imagine sliding backwards out of control on that

 

[karl webster]

Well jon.
I think you made the right choice with that one.Whtat do you think cris? I think if any of us had made a wrong move on there it would have been game over

[karl webster]

Thats what i thought. If it had been that steep i dont think we would have had a very nice ending to the pull

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

How about the Lake District or is that further than you want to go?

 

[Ben]

[karl webster]

The lakes would be great for me if were going for the weekend?

Yes, it would be friday evening till sunday evening for it to work.

What area is it jon?

North of England mate, just before you get to Scotland about junction 38 or so. The catch is there's only room for 3 vehicles where I stop and also it's not a very shiney friendly route though that's mostly just lost side steps or bashed undercarriages. It's not 'extreme' but it's not a walk in the park. If someone knows of an open camp site(s) then there can be two groups again but no more than 4 each.

Alternative is to have another go at getting you to Happy Valley but that's going to involve going over some of the same lanes again as last time and I thought you might be getting bored of that but I'm not fussed, as I said to you last time I just like to be out and about

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

BTW I'm not ignoring the rest of you but Karl has 1st dibs because he was the one asking / pestering

 

[Chris]

I'll put my name down for that one then please if it's Lakes. I fancy a run at those steps! Any room in Group one?

Should we be starting a new thread on this escapade?

Chris

(loading the car already)

Me,Pestering! NEVER. I Call it asking over and over again

Im Easy, As you said jon,i just like being out and about. The lakes sound fun. The lanes you talk about sound good as we love some of them around derbyshire that are demanding.

Looks like abit of interest again. As for the camp. Im sure we can find somewhere easy enough. We usally find a nice car park.

Leave the choice to you jon. I dont mind wales if it means more can get the chance to come.

Carnt wait already

[spackrackman]

That is a yes for me too If I loose the sidesteps then it will kick my arse into making some new ones

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

I didn't think there'd be much interest in the lakes this time of year what with the weather and the cost The only camping spots I know will only fit 3 trucks, maybe 4 if no one is using a ground tent. To be able to have a 2nd group someone else needs to lead/navigate and we'd have to identify somewhere else to camp and driving around looking for a car park isn't really what I had in mind! Sensible suggestions please, like wait till camp sites are open later in the year or only have 1 group of 4 or ... I shall be out laning that weekend whatever.
