Second what Reccy said - massive thanks to John for organising and his lads for their navigation skills and gate opening/shutting efforts. Good to meet everybody and thanks for welcoming me to your playground, and what a playground it is. Over the years, I driven through the Peak District on the main drags a few times, but to be able to experience the real beauty of it from up on top and in amongst it in it's raw beauty off the beaten track is something else. I reckon we clocked getting on for 100 miles doing actual lanes and hoping from one spot to the next so that shows the vastness of the Peaks and the quality of the laning that's on offer.
I'll check out and upload my pictures in the week when I get home. Need to that sort that stuff on my desktop.
Final note, apologies for the late arrival (my satnav needs a few updates so as to see a few of the newer junctions around the Notts/Derby areas).

heres a link for the rest of pics

Glad you both enjoyed the day was a good set of lanes weather made the day. Will do another run later in the year if time allows so keep your eyes open. Nice pics aswell

nothing a bit of Tcutt wont solve

and i will keep my eyes peeled for the next one. thanx again for a brill day from me and the missis

Great pics :clap:

A big thanx to Johnboy for sorting out the route.Thanx to the lads and steve for the gates. Just a shame we didnt have enough time to do the full route but think we would still be out there now if we did. Cracking day and nice to see some new faces. Just need to get the rad sorted now as its got worse after the run. Top day out.

i would of liked to stay longer mate but we had to shoot to pick baby up before bed time.

hopefully see you again next time

Here goes with my additions to the photo gallery.
Just like to point out alot of the stills are taken with my left hand holding the steering wheel and my right hand hanging out of the window trying to take pics (mainly scenic) but here goes anyway:

And the one handed vids

Cracking pics and vids guys...Looks proper lovely up there...

Well It wasnt on the 9th for me....but the 15th....but here are 2 vids from the ford.....and some photos

Note the bollard at the end of the 1st vid.........now what idiot put that there!! - Then if you look cairfully you'l see the dent in the rear 1/4 at the end of the second vid

Only had about 10mm clearence between that rock and my rear diff.....Hence why I want 33s

And I felt the need to push against the passengers seat to keep me from falling out of mine on this lane

For the rest of the pics.....http://s754.photobucket.com/albums/xx18 ... 2015-7-11/

Glad you was able to get there in the end Hipo - well worth the trip.

Looking at that dent in that picture it isn't that bad to be honest. Block of wood and a hammer. Followed by some filler and a lick of paint should sort it out.
