Peak District Laning Day - 24/10/2010 - REVIEWJust got back from an excellent, and must I say a beautiful autumn days laning in the Peak District.
A cold, Frosty Start soon turned into a wonderful, semi warm, clear, autumn day. A meet up of 5 trucks started off in Endon, Stoke at 8am, then off we went in convoy up to The Cat & Fiddle Pub, to meet up with Horses & V6 Power (Rob & Rob) at 9am Then off we went. Thanks for John boy for planning the routes. Mrs John Boy (Offical Wallet Keeper) for been a wonderful gate opener and Alex & Spence for been Gate Closers. A good turn out of 7 Trucks, 5 From FOG and 2 Northern Monkeys Memebers. No major damage, just the obligatory Scratches for the aptly named "SCRATCHY LANE", then our ROB (V6 Power), had a scary, brown trouser moment, when on a very challenging, rock covered, down hill section, stalled his truck and lost all braking & power steering, ploughed down the hill to the Group of 5 fronty parked up at the bottom, Screaming on the CB .............. "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, I GOT NO BRAKES, AND SHUT YOUR DOOR QUICK !!!!" Luckily, there was a grassy section at the bottom of the hill that he managed to steer his truck onto and stop, without and casualties !!! Unfortunately, that was the last lane I did, as a family gathering had to take priorty, and I left, but not until I heard on the CB that ROB'S Engine Management light had come on, so I'll wait till he comes on later to update you. Will post a few piccys later.

Re: Peak District Laning Day - 24/10/2010 - REVIEWSorry to disappoint, but when you got nearly 2 tonnes of LWB, V6 "b" Series, hurtling at you, you tend to move out of the way quicky and forget about the piccys, but you have got my word ..............
