Longmynd 13th April review. by alex on Sun Apr 13, 2008 9:12 pm
Well, my recon on the Longmynd and South Shropshire today ended up as a full 6 car venture. With the help of some good weather and good company, what started out as a bleak day was a cracker.

We followed the lanes on the TOR guide in the right direction but reverse order, that way we stood a better chance of missing any traffic following the same route.

We had beautiful panoramics on top of the Mynd and some serious mud in the Forests. Heres a few piccies, hope soon with the aid of Weave and maybe another to lead a few Foggers around this part of the World.

One of our decents from the Mynd.

Is that red car under that mud?

Image

Trail gets abit tight and scratchy :Liar: read very tight, push your own way through :D

A line up, after Weave had to leave (Congratulations to our new GRANDAD!!!!) Myself, Sirdoris, Goldfinder, Manny, Mart.

A cracking day, thanks all and hope to do it all over again soon.

Been home for a while, but was absolutely shattered when I got back. Pics will be up tomorrow, feeling lazy right now. Fantastic day out, Ruth thouroughly enjoyed herself (apart from the lack of toilet facilities). Great lanes, thanks again to Alex for leading and doing such a good job and to Spence for being Chief Gate Herald. Congratulations on being a granddad Dave. Was great to meet everyone else as well.

Night for now folks.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

Thouroughly enjoyed meself, a great day, spent in great company,exploring an area that I have loved from an early age. Yes Dave I'm Prehistoric.
Just shows what a bog standard Fronty can do even with knackered rear suspension.
Only got stuck once. Thanks Phill for the tug over that bump :lol:

A fantastic day out and great pics big thanks to Alex for leading. All the lanes we did were great and the attude for other lane users was supprising. Me and manny spoke to a farmer that spoke to us and seemed to agree with 4x4 using green lanes which i found strange because i do most my laning in the peak disrict and never get a good vibs from farmers the only problem i found is when i washed my truck of today i think i need more Tcut :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers Mart :D
Hello i drive a land rover Defender 90 i love the banter so do your best im well up for laning pay and play days experditions etc i would rather push my landy than drive a fronty
