lanes around peak district

Went out yesterday 5 vehicles in total did some of the lanes that were in tor the one from step 60 is not an easy lane and if you haven't got lift or are not good a/t's or m/t's youre stuffed. truckosaurs was talking to a old guy who warned us to be careful at the end cause the farmer blocks it if he see's you doing the lane and you have to go back down the way you came not nice. my advice if you want to do it do it now cause its under review cause some muppets have been pulling down the walls to fill in the holes with stone so take some waffle boards. then after lunch the police stopped onthe pub car park and enquired as to where we had been because so many lanes were under review and told us to visit this web site http://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/vehicles to find out which lanes were ok and not. in his words he's not out to spoil our enjoyment of the lanes but just to make people aware of the problem's of the mindless few who drive to fast and cause problems. but was a cracking day out sorry but no pics due to son number 2 being in control of camera.brachuncky might have a few good pics have to see if he posts any

My 6 year old helper took more of the dash and the ground than anything else :lol:

have to wait for someone elses pics then .....(hope there was some pics taken)

I have a few,just busy sorting them! Was a cracking day out and was a real test for a bit of rock crawling,fronty style

Cheers to Truckosaurus for sorting this one :dance:

I think Alex may have a few more piccies too!

Yep piccy's please & lots of them

Im afraid not too many action shots

My co-pilot was too busy holding on :lol:

nice piccy's

i could go for coming up your way one day & having a go at them lanes myself

WOW ......Cool lanes

Looking good, cant beat a bit of grit stone

Yeah next time we'll be ready with waffle boards though and might even have a winch if i can sweet talk mrs m :lol:

I seriously wouldnt mind getting out to the peak district again, my old walking and clinmbing haunts, all waiting to be driven

Last time laning there I thought it was very busy with mountain bikers and walkers, but some top notch lanes, I really wanna get there and do more as I fear a lot of lanes may dissapeare as the walkers are so powerful in that area, unless by ssome miricale we can convince them we are not the spawn of the devil.

Saying that on my last trip we saw many walkers and got nothing but smiles and waves.

Got to say all the walkers and bikers we came acroos were ok we pulled up for horse riders motor bikes an slowed down for walkers and did a max 10mph on the lanes which pretty flat so i don't think any one could grubble at us at all.

Yer it makes all the difference when everyone it is getting and enjoying them selves and there is an understanding of the lanes by other uses.

Its just a shame the minority of walkers cant see this and back off leaving us to enjoy our hobby.

Anyway crcking picks and looks like a great day out

It was a great day, sadly my piccies didnt come out, think the nipper has been messing (well I know he has, just dont know what at :lol:

)

Mart did a sterilng job again, we did some crackers. Good to meet up with familiar faces again.

Well it seems that its not only the swb fronty which struggles at Tenterhill :roll:

We figured it would be, was early in the year when e were up there. The farmer has been taking matters into his own by blocking the end off with a tractor.

Ihears it had been shut for repairs cheers fancy a go at it again when it opens though.

As long as we take a friendly LBto pull us out :oops:

that hole was a perfect fit for a SWB, no way I was getting out of it.
