Buxton Recon

Looking to recon a few lanes over towards Buxton in the next few weeks, and I was wondering if anyone else is up for it? I already know a good few lanes from Macclesfield to Buxton but want to recon a few that lay between Buxton and Bakewell. If anyone's up for it or knows the area well and doesn't mind me tagging along then let me know. Glass guidelines will of course be followed. Anyone fancy it?

I'm up for it :!:

let us know where and when mate

bobby and fuddy might be up for it if funds allow.what sort of lanes do you want easy or extreme :?:

Nice one John Boy :!:

I already have a part route in mind from Maccelesfield to Buxton. I will pm you the grid refs of the lanes I wanted to recon to the east and take it from there. Theres also a handful to the north west that I have done a few times up towards Whaley Bridge. If you have any suggestions or ideas for a route then fire way. I take it you have done some in that direction before then?

I'm only running a fairly standard truck at the moment so lets say "moderate" :!:

I'm free next weekend, how are you fixed?

I will be up for something in that area around the end of November.

No probs Drift, I'm hoping to get out ASAP but if you can't make this one, I will definately tag along with you in November, just give me a nudge when your ready :wink:

.

Great stuff, but does anyone no the area well? I used to go walking there years ago but thats about it, only laned in Derbyshire Staffs borders once.

truckasarus know that area well i think

Yer he said I should call him if I want to do any lanes that way

did a trip with him last winter over the peak district, it was awsome

Sounds like a plan forming, its great up there in the winter

I know a few lanes over there but have some more in mind that I want to recce. Heres a few photos:

That middle photo looks rough. Would love to join ya but i have some other commitments coming in the next few weeks.

Yeah i was going to say give truckosaurus or manny a pm they know some cool lanes out that way.the only prob around that area is some of the lanes have tro's on, them have to check the peak district web site for the ones closed

i would like to go and if any one wants a night in the pub give me a shout and i will sort it out for you, oh the pub is located in butterton, it is also a b&b

Ok so a few members interested, anyone free next weekend? Also up for a second trip later on in november for those that can't make this one. Checked all the lanes I had in mind on wayfinder and they are clear of TRO's

. Will try and have a look at the peak district website and check on there as well. John Boy do you have a link to the website your thinking of?

Phil, shame you can't make it, but if you are up for something around north wales, bit closer for you, let me know, I'm free most weekends till Christmas now :wink:

. The lane you mention isn't actually too bad really, not compared to the steps anyway, just a bit narrow!

Thanks for that Andy, your welcome to join us. So provisionally it looks like its furio, John Boy and Andysd1 this time around. Anyone else to make it a quartet?

i would be in november, as to much going on at work, with changing companys

I cann't get next weekend or saturday 16th but any other time is good for me :wink:

next weekend would be good for me as my names down and iam of work

Didnt take you long to see this :lol:

All good stuff! Nice one Manny, I'll pm you so we can sort out the details. So for next weekends trip (1st or 2nd Nov) provisionally we have Manny and furio with room for a couple more.

Then a later trip in November (date to be confirmed) with Drift, Andy, John Boy and Furio. Hope thats Ok with everyone and that I haven't missed anyone out.

Just been on the peak district website with regard to vehicles, no TRO's showing for the lanes I had in mind so thats good news

.

Anybody else?
