ayup, most of the route is easy to moderate apart from a short rock step section on one lane which the Vit may struggle with due to ground clearance, however if we do that lane in reverse (not gear ) so we go down the steps it will be easier, I'll take waffles just in case. We aim to meet at SD944803 around 0830-0900.

Ok, due to *beep* weather in the Dales area and abiding by the Treadlightly advice then we're calling the Dales off for the time being, however all is not lost, we're going to do a few lanes around Huddersfield in Summer Wine country, nothing difficult but good views and a bit challenging in places. Still got three trucks with 2-3 hours on the lanes with a pie and a pint for lunch. Interested? then post here for info. |

Well done for such a responsible decision !!
I sit on the advisory group to the Local Access forum, about Green Lane Management, representing 4x4 users
I wish all of "us" had a similar responsible approach to using the lanes, then we'll have less issues round here..
cheers
