Green Laning Around Thetford Forest and Review

[hipo1024]

I'm gauging interest in some green laning around thetford forest sometime soon. I have never done them, nor have I even seen them, so I dont really know much about them. I have selected some lanes that look to be good, and when I made it they were all clear of TROs, but will check again nearer the date.

I think I have around 3 or 4 hours worth of lanes planned out (avg speed of 5mph)....but if anyone can send me a MM overlay of some good lanes around there then even better!

Anyone interested in a day out? Would be great if a hardened lane'r or 2 could attend (bobbinsjob) to show us (me) how its done, and pull me out if I get stuck lol. On the other hand, a group of newbies and some rope could be a good laugh lol.

No dates in mind yet, as I say just gauging interest.

i would defo be up for it, since i am in the middle of moving back to lowestoft.
just need time to fix my auto hub first

now after looking it is the front diff

[hipo1024]

wow...I wasnt expecting this much interest this fast lol. Well depending if fudge can get his front diff changed before we go we either have 1 or 2 more places left.

When can you guys go? I cant do this weekend or the 27th...but other than that Im open.

Would love to join you boys some time. Come from Ipswich so only just down the road. Not done much off roading but never one to refuse a challenge.

[fudge]

well later the better for me
i need to look at my diff, and need to finish moving as well.

so once im bk at my parents i am removing the diff and tank, ohh the fun

[hipo1024]

if it is the 19/20th i can come, but wont have a woking front diff.
so if anyone is happy i can hitch a lift, and i have a few shackles, 2t hand wintch, and loads of straps

[hipo1024]

you could try it in 2wd lol. but thats probably not a very good idea. there will be a few seats in mine and I'm sure others will have spair seats too.

Will double chack with the diary (wife) if we are free. I am only stock but still have 4wd. If Fudge can make it to Norwich I will have a spare seat.

[hipo1024]

ok ratcav, add ur name to the list when you know.

also, do you lot have a preferance to what day, ie sat (19th) or sun(20th)?

I guess I better try and get my 4wd to engage without the use of a hammer lol might get a little anoying otherwise.

[RatCav]

[bobbinsjob]

Shame I cant make 19th,20th. I would love to do the forests again. Me, Gibbo and Zebadee did them a few years back. If you go again let me know.

I have a MM overlay of the route we did if you send me yr email addy

[RatCav]

Will have an answer tonight. I have 31's at the moment all AT's. Will risk it for a biscuit with mine if I go

[RatCav]

Chalk me up for it ... I got the go ahead and the wife is coming to (in my truck not her Astra )

If you want a lift your welcome Fudge.

Looking forward to it.



Oh either day is fine but Saturday would be preferable in case emergency repairs needed Sunday to use her to get to work Monday !!
