|

MOD EDIT : 03 May 2010
NEW UPDATED LANING POST HERE (<--Click)
Sunday green laning (Updated)
I've been asked by SID73 to organise a few greenlanes for the sunday of MM10. I think it will be best to divide the lanes up into 'easy' , 'moderate' and 'I like to break my truck'.
The easy lanes will all be do-able in an unmodified 4x4 running on road tyres. Suitable for shineys and 1st timers.
The moderate lanes will be do-able in an unmodified 4x4 but you will probably need all terrain tyres and it will be slightly more tricky terrain. eg some steps/rocks. Nothing too extreme though.
The more recovery equipment people bring, the better... be it waffles, hi lifts, saws, spades... whatever, just in case!
So can everyone have a think about what sort of stuff they would be happy to do, and put it on this thread; so then I can divvy up the groups and plan the lanes and routes accordingly (no more than 5 in a group of trucks going out together)
Also if anyone knows of any lanes they'd like to do then list them here. Every little helps
cheers chaps and chapettes
Easy Group:
Pembo has sorted lanes for the easy group
Richie & Pembo - Leading (CB)
Captain England (CB)
andy_pajerotdi (CB)

BigJ & Malibu Mandie (CB)

GROUP 4

If anyone wants to go out afterwards and do a few more difficult lanes then I'm sure we can arrange something

I try and keep a list of groups, so put your name here if your wanting to go and what group you what to be in.
You can come and meet us if your not staying at the Mega Meet and what to go laning.
Also looking at no more then 6 in a group, with one group being more for the 'modified vehicles'.
Could do with the Leader & Gate shutter having CB radios, but if your in the middle bring it anyway.

"idratherbesurfing"]if you're out with me in the 3rd group then you're going to bend something and you will need at the very least a bit of lift, a tidy set of mud tyres, and proper, rated, tested RECOVERY GEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i.e not a Halfords or a pound shop tow rope.
If you do not have at the very least a RATED recovery rope with you, then you will NOT be going out with the 'extreme' group, and you will go in the moderate group. and yes, we WILL be checking. |
This is really important, as some of you know, the Pheasant Pen Steps going up is a area with history in POCUK meets (There is a video somewhere ), so you will need the kit & we will be checking before you set off
This is only for the ones in Jo's group, the others will be ok, but if you do have any kit with you bring it anyway as it is always handy to have

some more info about the V-Gulley... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
An absolute classic "Bocage" greenlane, one could devout a whole blog to this alone (might do that one day). Most laners start at the west end going downhill into Glyn Ceriog ,although either way is possible. Starts off just a farmers track, but quickly turns into a deep gorge with the base been a V shape (hence the name), due to the stream which runs down the middle. Very narrow with tree roots sticking out you can definitely expect damage, in fact I've never been with group with hasn't suffered some damage.
CB aerials, roof racks, mirrors, tires, windows ,lights, snorkels soon get ripped off. Drivers who have never done this type of lane before quickly get disorientated due to the poor light and overhead tree cover, so expect a "roll over"., Although safe, ie no drop, recovery is made difficult by lack of space. In parts its impossible to open the doors, so soft tops any advantage, climbing over trucks (or under) is common, as the banks are impossible to climb due to the loose earth. Photo shoots made worse by the poor light, although in recent years the vegeation has been cut back. At the east end (bottom) the lane leads out straight into the narrow lanes of Glyn Ceriog, so make sure if in a group everyone knows where to go next as some will have lost comms cause of broken CB aerials. It is possible to loop at either end and go back, plus at the at the bottom there's a convenient hard flat standing just before the UCR to fix punctured tires, you'll not fix them on the lane!
West end (top) SJ189382; east end (bottom) SJ200382
At the bottom if you turn right (west) and proceed to the mini-roundabout there's some toilets, and a shop with a convenient off road place to fix your truck! |
