Some lanes around Ely, CambridgeshireI got bord today so I went out for a cheaky laning trip, tryed out a few lanes Ive not done before. Very tame, bar one tight tunnel lol - I got the tape mesure out to see if the truck would fit lol, it had a few inches either side so I went for it!
Heres a selection of the pics I took: The tunnel: Barely bigger than me! Not sure its going to fit :S Made it! This lane was a little to scratchy for me For the rest of the shots from today, click on the below link http://s754.photobucket.com/albums/xx18 ...

Re: Some lanes around Ely, CambridgeshireDont think mine would make it through that tunnel....
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon! Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again... She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body... Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer! MAKE IT or BREAK IT! TEAMXTREME4X4
Re: Some lanes around Ely, Cambridgeshirelol, I mesured mine and it needed 76 inches side to side to get through (I think) and the tunnel was about 85 inches wide, and at the end it had a small step up, so I had to rub the drivers side tyres on the wall in order not to take out the passenger wing mirror (hence why the drivers side is closer in the pic ) - it was a fun and unexpected challenge! . Thats also why I dont really want a roof mounted CB whip :/

Re: Some lanes around Ely, CambridgeshireNice photos
I would love to go through that tunnel
Re: Some lanes around Ely, Cambridgeshirelol jason, I would worry about ur roof rack! if it fits under multi story car park height limiters then you might make it, but thats only on the fact that the tip of my radio aerial hits most multi story height limiters and it didnt touch the top of the tunnel.

Re: Some lanes around Ely, CambridgeshireA few members of our small club (Cambridgshire 4x4'z) went through there on this route yesterday, its a good drive.
Re: Some lanes around Ely, CambridgeshireI have to admit I didn't know there was a local club . ill look into that - do they have a website? and yes it is a very nice drive! did everyone fit through that tunnel? lol.

Re: Some lanes around Ely, CambridgeshireI wouldn't fit in that tunnel ... too tall. I have an extra 7" of height due to the high roof mod. Nice pictures and lanes though.

Re: Some lanes around Ely, Cambridgeshire
mmmmm, lol, well my Frontera and the Pajero did but the Disco had to go up through the two gates. Yeah, we are here but It's only a small club. It's mainly been family and connections. Not really, we did have a web-site but a former member kinda messed it up as far as I recall. We have a group on facebook, Cambridgeshire 4x4z. Heres the link buddy ......http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/grou ... 3608905721 ....were always looking to expand as a club. More the merrier!!! I'm the gent with the Blue Frontera

Re: Some lanes around Ely, CambridgeshireYup we went to violets lane on the 29/05/2011.
If you look on youtube theres a few vids on there. When we went, there was only a few patches of deep water, enough to still get stuck but not like the youtube hit. Yeah, thats the one in Duxford mate. You part of a club around Cambridge way????

Re: Some lanes around Ely, Cambridgeshire

I had to use the rooflights as my heads and spots were about 6 inches below water. proper sqeaky bum time and scared me that i aint been back since lol SIZE DOES MATTER!!
