FOG Green Lane Gay (N.Wales)

Date (Provisional) Saturday 22nd July 2006
Location: Llagollen area, N.Wales

If there is enough interest, I will lead a Green Lane run around the north Wales countryside on the above date, subject to the group size not exceeding 4 vehicles (a Green Lane Association reccomendation).

That equates to 3 spaces, unless Ste wants to be my gate closer then only 2 spaces, unless we can convince Ste to lead a second group then 6 places.

The route will about 35 miles but will take us about 6-7 hours including stopping for photos and an hour for lunch, but the best bit is that around 75% will be green lane driving.

The route will include the 5 mile long "Wayfarer" and of course the infamous "Corwen Carwash"

I can't promiss you mud, but I can introduce you to legal laning and the breathtakingly beutiful Welsh countryside.

I expect the route will be suitable for standard Fronteras’.

I suppose it is only fair to offer the places on a first come first served basis. Please register your interest, or any questions, below.

Aaaaaaaahh I cant go :shock:

I will be in Wales but in the cottage with the family, its the first day so I will have no chance of getting away :cry:

Ste

Argh, and that was the only real date I had available.

Never mind Ste, you've done the route 2½ times before and the Wayfarer and Corwen Carwash even more so.

So then, there are 3 places available...

Hey folks get in there you will really enjoy it

if i can sorce some cheap mt's we may very well be up for it as ive done most of the lanes in gen-x be an experiance to do it on the lwb

simon

To be honest, having seen a few lanes this past weekend, MT's would be overkill.

As a point of interest, I'm running worn AT's. We had a Frontera on worn standard tyres do the route in the snow and a Landruiser do another route on road tyres.

In my oppinion, MT's are more suitable for Pay & Play, AT's should be fine for summer lanining, road tyres should also be ok.

As long as we don't have a huge torrential downpour.

Lawrence

can I book a place?

should be ok for that one, am in Weymouth the weekend before and at the CLA show in Romsey the weekend after...hopefully the missus will be ok with another trip in between!

Time to start welling stuff on eB*y to fund the petrol I guess :shock:

Anyone want a series 3 landy with a 3 litre V6 as a plaything?

Ste

Anychance of going the 23rd i got to work till 1:00 saturday I was going to go to the Oswestry p+p site o the Sunday

Well, I suppose as I announced the date of the 22nd as provisional, we could change it to the 23rd.

Andy, Simon - how does Sunday 23rd sound to yous.

Lawrence

trugg
sounds good to me will check with swmbo when she gets in thou u never no

also you have to be GAY to come?
:oops:

simon

23rd good to me - I'll get down there on the saturday and camp up at a nearby site I think

Well the OH has given her permission, and I can't wait. What sort of time are we starting out and where are we meeting up?

Looks like we have a FOG Green Lane Day comming together.

Everyone ok for Sunday 23rd then?

A rough idea for the day will be:

09:30-10:00 - meet in Corwen, N. Wales
10:00 - start the laneing run
10:05 - the "Corwen Carwash"
10:20 - Start the "Wayfarer"
11:00 - stop at the summit for views/photos/coffee
11:30 - continue the Wayfarer
12:15 - arrive at pub for refreshments (optional), toilets etc.
13:15 - coninue laning and country lanes
17:00 - approximate finish time in Llangollen.

The afternoon will be slightly different to what I've run before, due to a few of the lanes now being out of bounds for vehicles following the NERC Act.

There will be plenty of stops for photos during the day.

Note - there is no charge for your participation (although you're welcome to buy me a Cola at lunch time). Apart from getting there and back, you'll use mimimal fuel. The 30 or so miles will take us most of the day.

BUMPTJ, Apache-Andy, generation-x - could I ask you to pm me your personal email, as there is a booklet I'd like to email over to you, containing some hints and tips, expectations etc.

Let's hope the sun keeps shining.
