Derbyshire laneing

[paul (panda)]

Trying to get a date organised for derbyshire members and any others that are interested in a day out in the peaks ..

I,m free any weekend except the weekend of the 6th 7th august..
A preferable date for me would be the weekend coming up 30th 31st july .
I know timbott can't make that weekend , is anyone else able to make next weekend ..
If you can make next weekend then stick your name down in the usual copy and paste fashion .
I,ve suggested doing hathersage , bamford , stanage edge ( need to confirm with the council if this is open or not to vehicles ... cheers tim ) and then make a way back down the A6 and if there is time do a few down there .
A meeting place could either be the big lay by on the A6 at ambergate iirc???
or at the fox house pub up hathersage way . Dinner timeish ...
Its all speculation at the moment so any other suggestions for lanes , where to meet and times would be good , but need to sort stuff out sharpish if it,s going to be next weekend ..
(copy and paste vv )
Who can do next weekend .

paul

[jjsaul]

sorry cant do next weekend mate :(

[LandyV8]

would love to do some more lanes around there but i wont be free next weekend. Im going for a Week of offroading with LRE magazine on the 30th july - 7th Aug. Any other weekend tho.

[paul (panda)]

no probs , have a good weekend ..

[heckflosse]

Would like to but I've got to take it easy till after I see my Doctor on 8th August :(

[paul (panda)]

No worries , it,s a bit of a non starter ..Too short a notice and the majority cant go ... :rolleyes:

[LandyV8]

Paul,

Do you fancy arranging another date to do those lanes. I’ll be up for it if the date is suitable. After Aug bank holiday weekend I should be free most weekends.

Cheers

[paul (panda)]

I think timbott is about to arrange something or at least get the ball rolling for a weekend in september

[LandyV8]

oh ok well ill keep an eye out for that one then.

[paul (panda)]

Come on tim we are waiting :D :D

[swag298]

I need one last "fix" before I sell the RR during September sometime.

swag

[timbott]

I'm up for September the 3rd and then back to the Hollybush for a post trip beer :) So how does this suit the rest of you?

cheers, Tim

[swag298]

Yep. That'll do me

swag

[timbott]

Yep. That'll do me

swag

Great stuff, anyone else??? I'll get something sorted and hopefully we can have a good day out and then give you a good pub send off Sean :beers:

I can see us all leaving the Landies in the Hollybush carpark for the night and walking home :D

cheers, Tim

[jjsaul]

i'll try and find out, would like to come tho :)

[paul (panda)]

cheers, Tim

I,m not walking home its miles away , i,d be sober before i was halfway back ..

3rd good for me

[LandyV8]

3rd sounds good. where do you guys usualy meet. ill be coming from Bolton so if you are heading north on the lanes i could maybe meet you on route

[timbott]

May I suggest we meet in the Buxton area somewhere and then generally head South from there and finish up at Makeney (Hollybush).

I'll have a look at my maps and try and get some inspiration :)

cheers, Tim

[Strange Rover]

I'd like to do laning in derbyshire, but 3rd is no good :(

but if its later in the year please somebody let me know !!

[bryn1000]

aggh HEW needs an MOT

[paul (panda)]

I will 99.9% have to say that i wont be able to attend due to the rear bearings still not been done , couldnt find any at malvern ..
But you never know i may make it yet ..

[jjsaul]

we're pretty sure we can come, laning and pub :)

[timbott]

Right I'm back from the BADLRC weekend so now time to sort next weekend :eek: Who's up for laning next Sat??

I am thinking along the lines of meeting in the Buxton area and having a run across the Peak District to Makeney (The Hollybush - BEER :) )

cheers Tim

[swag298]

I'm in of course! Last UK trip for me and the RR.

swag

[timbott]

I'm in of course! Last UK trip for me and the RR.

Bring your marked maps won't you - I want to blag some lanes off you before you zoom away :rolleyes:

cheers, Tim

[swag298]

There aren't any you haven't done I don't think.....but it'll be there for copying.

swag

[Cerberus]

I fancy a bit of that. I missed out on laning this weekend for one reason or another. Mostly due to the fact that I ended up with 2 bedrooms worth of new furniture arriving on the same day!

Where exactly shall we meet and at what time? Tim, are you planning to do a couple of lanes on the way up to Buxton?

BTW,Tim, you wouldnt recongnise that roof you sold Scott-Its now about two feet shorter! He's building quite an interesting machine.

[timbott]

Where exactly shall we meet and at what time? Tim, are you planning to do a couple of lanes on the way up to Buxton?

I reckon meet up Buxton somewhere (I'll look at my maps tomorrow) about 10'ish and saunter our way down to the beer shop in Makeney :) We might have to split into groups if we get a lot of vehicles but I have ORDERED ;) Ali to learn map reading this week so we don't get lost :o

cheers, Tim

[jjsaul]

Yep we'll be there, time and place when you know please ;)

Oh and i want to copy a few lanes down as well please :)

[jackthedog]

I'm definately up for next weekend. It'll be nice to drive a few of the lanes over your way. Its not an area I've really explored, so getting the map marked up would be great!

The 90 is still covered in Hartington's finest gloop, and I'll just about managed to have got it clean and it'll be time to head off road again. :rolleyes:

Looking forward to it.

[timbott]

According to my map there is a car park on Goyt's Lane, grid ref. SK 024 752 about 3 miles NW of Buxton that looks a good place to meet up. 10 o'clock Saturday morning OK? At least by meeting up after we have done the road miles I won't be holding all you V8 jockeys up :o

cheers, Tim

[swag298]

Still trying to organise bringing the yellow 'mog along too, so you may not be the slowest Tim....

:eek: feeling brave??? LOL

At least we'll have a proper recover vehicle if needed ;)

[jackthedog]

Just had a look at the the map and found the car park.
It's the one just East of Errwood Reservoir, right?

[jjsaul]

If we're looking at the same map then thats where i reckoned it is :)

At the car logo.

[jackthedog]

Good stuff, cheers fella. I'll be there, 10am sharp :)

[Bigkid]

Hi Guys, sorry I missed you last weekend, will try and get to this on sat 3rd, looking forward to my second trip out laning, be good to do it with friends :eek:


Bigkid

[Bigkid]

Hi Guys, just a quick check, I have to watch the old fuel gauge ya know :rolleyes: running on a fill up of LPG get about 120miles, coming from south notts (i know not that far away) to get to the car park is 25miles, so how many miles are you expecting to do and where are you finsihing...have to plan where my fuel stops are etc...

Anyone hear violins ;)

Bigkid

Also think Swag is going to be busy with his maps...

[timbott]

Well the plan is to start at Buxton and finish up at Makeney between Belper and Duffield just off the A6. I would say, measure your fuel consumption from where you are to Buxton and double it to take into account the extra you always use when lanin', and then bung a bit more in for good luck :rolleyes:

cheers, Tim

[jjsaul]

Theres LPG at Ashbourne IIRC and also at the Allestree junction of the A38. We'll need to visit as will LandyV8 most likely hehe.... :D

[paul (panda)]

That meeting place is just around the corner from ole maccesfield road .
Do it the right way and you end up at the pub " cat and piddle "
Not bad eh ! one lane and finish the day off in the pub !!!!!

:D :D

[Rich_P]

I just noticed, there are going to be at least 3 V8 Landies! :yikes:

Will this turn the greenlane day into the big-thirsty V8 burble burble squad lane day? :rolleyes:

[LandyV8]

ill defiantly be there on sat. I will be bringing Steel with me too. only bad thing is I need to be back home in Bolton for 6 so I will leave you guys to it @ about 4pm so will probably miss the pub too. grrrr:(

[shadyadie]

Count us in .... x 2 vehicles ....

[Rich_P]

Unless someone else is going up past Oldham (Shaw, specifically) other than Lewis, I will also be having to leave at 4pm.

[shadyadie]

Count us in .... x 2 vehicles ....



Count us out ...x2 vehicles ....

just been up to the garage to give it a very quick once over and was met by a big puddle of oil. the axel hub oil seal has gone (only replaced it 6 weeks ago cheap paddocks parts ) can't get the parts until Sat.

if by some miracle I can get the parts and fit tomorrow night will let you know. have stripped it tonight just in case.

If I don't make it I will be at makney sat holly bush meet

[timbott]

Quite a few people turning up on Sat :) I reckon we will have to split into 3, if not 4 groups. Can everyone bring maps if they have them so we all know where we are going, and I know Mrs. shadyadie wants an easy run in her new Suzy, but some might want some tougher stuff :Idunno: so if we can all get there on time (watch me be late now :o ) so we can get ourselves sorted :)

cheers, Tim

[jjsaul]

yep i'll go an buy a map tomorrow :)

[jjsaul]

I just noticed, there are going to be at least 3 V8 Landies! :yikes:

Will this turn the greenlane day into the big-thirsty V8 burble burble squad lane day? :rolleyes:

When we went laning over bank holiday we had 3x V8's and a dead diesel toyota....... muhahaha :D

Lewis, you up for forming a V8 crew mate :rolleyes: !!!

[LandyV8]

Lewis, you up for forming a V8 crew mate :rolleyes: !!! sounds good to me. ill follow the guy with the map. lol :p

[jjsaul]

sounds good to me. ill follow the guy with the map. lol :p

I now have a map. OS LandRanger 119 for anyone interested.

I'll mark it up when we get there.

[Bigkid]

Dont need maps when ya got Memory Map and GPS ;)

Route what route....I'm where!!!!!

Bigkid

[paul (panda)]

I,m going to sticky this for future events to save loads of derbyshire green lane thread sprouting up ....
I,m ****ed my landrover is weeping grease , so bloody thoughtless ...

[Bigkid]

Just Checking 10am, Car Park on Goyts Lane....Few V8's to keep mine company ;)

And a day out laning before the pub at the end :D

Bigkid

PS will have my camera so be warned....

[shadyadie]

you will also have a V8 with a very small fuel tank around 5 gallons. (and no fuel guage )

have just this minute finished fixing the hub seal so should be ok for tomorrow.
And I've taken the roof off.. (it is not going to rain)

Are we pub lunching or taking snap with us.. enviromentally friendly you see don't want to waste food.

so 2 tomorrow a V8 and a .942L suzuki.

[timbott]

Are we pub lunching or taking snap with us..

Both, then you can give me your spare food and save me the bother of doing a pack up :D

I think bring some grub with you, that's what we are doing anyway :)

cheers, Tim

[jjsaul]

Dont need maps when ya got Memory Map and GPS ;)

Route what route....I'm where!!!!!

Bigkid

I have MemMap and GPS, but the cable for my GPS-PDA is ******ed, need to order a new one :(

[jjsaul]

YAY

2 more V8's....

this is gonna be one ace laning trip :)

[Rich_P]

Envy is a powerful thing... :rolleyes:

[jjsaul]

Envy is a powerful thing... :rolleyes:

It is....get yer S2a sorted first though mate ;)

[Rich_P]

Will do, James.

Anyway, today, laning was good. First time laning for me really, and it proved to be better than off-roading at the local quarry. :D

[Rich_P]

Oh, btw, James' OneTen now has a badly distorted and twisted roof rack... and he, or someone in his OneTen, lost track of the people they were "leading" the way for. :rolleyes:

[Bigkid]

But we still had fun without them him..:)


Thanks to Shadyadie that is.:D

Anyway Nice to put faces 'and real names' to you lot, thanks for a good day out, even if I now have a dented wheel hub cover... But I suppose its better than ripping a corner of ya suzuki rear bumper...;)

See ya all soon

Bigkid.

[bulkhead ali]

It was a fun day, I'm not sure what Swag and Mini Me got up too but both seem to have enjoyed the day!!!:rolleyes: Nathan seems to have learnt how to drink at last! It has been great fun, the police even stopped traffic for us at Chatsworth! that makes a change. Hopefully we can arrange more laning soon, sorry to lose Sean to Canada in a month or so, we need more people with decent map reading skills, I'm only a learner!:eek:

cheers, Ali;)

[timbott]

Bloody good day out :) Hopefully we will all meet again for another good day.

Just one question, does meeting and sorting out summat as we did today suit people or would you prefer a more organised regimented day out?

Comments, please :)

cheers, Tim

[jjsaul]

Great day out everyone...shame we lost the orange beast (adie) cos it sounds gorgeous...not enough mud for me tho :(

More organised day is better as it saves the wasted time planning every half hour what we want to do next :rolleyes:

Damage to date:
Zook lost a bumper endcap
90 bashed in a hub cover
110 (ours :p ) ended up with a f00ked roof rack :D

pics to follow soon :)

[jjsaul]

Piccies as promised

[timbott]

110 (ours :p ) ended up with a f00ked roof rack :D

Like sort of Z shaped :eek: (who planted that bloody tree :o )

cheers, Tim

[Pete H]

Looks like it can be straightened out.
James,judging by the pics it looks like you had a good day.

[jjsaul]

Hopefully it can .... (wheres that sledgehammer gone.... :D )

Yes, good day was had by all i think :)

[Rich_P]

That's what you get for buying a cheapo roof-rack, James. :p

I was in Lewis' OneTen which was right behind James' OneTen. Following it through a very narrow lane, and when it went under a low tree, there was a banging noise and the roof rack started to move backwards and buckle.

I thought it was going to come right off and damage the OneTen's roof. :eek: Good job it just pulled along the guttering now.

[bulkhead ali]

At least it was only the roofrack!! nobody was hurt during the day, we had a wonderful day, yes I will learn to mapread maybe even drive once I'm back in work, then Tim can do the navigating! Richard it was nice to meet up with you yesterday, the people on this forum are a friendly bunch, it's good to meet in the flesh and put names to faces, we look at who's on sometimes and can say met them and as it were cross them off the list! some good freindships are being made, long may it continue!

cheers, Ali;)

[paul (panda)]

Narrow lane wasnt near bakewell was it ..

For what irs worth i,m decent map reader ...

:D

ahem ahem ahem - but (and I shouldn't be telling you this 'cos you fine Dad Ian will never speak to me again) he said to me he wanted to encourage your Geography stuff so you got the maps :D

To be honest I would rather read maps than drive, when I was rallying I liked the maps better, but the one thing I REALLY hate is driving and navigating at the same time. Anyone who wants to come and pick me up as a navigator suits me fine :)

cheers, Tim

[jjsaul]

Ah well i would have rather driven than navigated .....

[timbott]

Are you insured to drive mine???, or pick me up and I'll read the maps. We could make a good team :)

Unfortunately i'm not Tim cos im only a named driver on ours so dont get 3rd party on other vehicles.

Although i could pick you up and you could have the V8 coiler experience :p

[shadyadie]

Just a couple of photos of yesterday..

still had a good time even though they lost us.

thanks to BK for sticking with us so we could carry on

driving and navigating at the same time is a pain though good job I had my map with me.

We lost you? You mean, James lost you, and you lost him... :rolleyes:


Me and Lewis turn up leading the 2nd convoy to where the Saul's OneTen was stopped, and just see James and Ian chatting to another group who are not memebers of our greenlaning.

[shadyadie]

forgot to mention Suzuki did not need towing at all. the last lane on the photos, if I had done that in my old series 11a it would have dropped in the ruts and bottomed out (only had 600x16's on)



Sj not as good as my V8,

but the suzuki cost £15 in petrol for the day and my truck cost about £45.... (99.9 litre at newhaven).


but mine sounds better....

[jjsaul]

They didnt follow us !!!

As we left the roundabout by Morrisons onto the A6 the 'zook was joining the roundabout...

Anyways dad was driving so blame him :D

Another day sounds good
not so bothered about it being more regimented, but sharing phone numbers might be a good idea next time.

we thought that after we parted company, but we assumed if you did lose us you'd see the other 4 behind you :rolleyes:

thats what that woman asked to see..

ok traction engine then.

stick a pic on

[jjsaul]

It's a Mamod TE1a :)

[jjsaul]

come on....she wasnt even english :p

[jackthedog]

Had an excellent day, really enjoyed it. Nice to see a few pictures of what Adie's convoy got up to after we got split.

It was also nice to put some faces to names! :)

That was the first laning trip I've done in a group of that size, and it was good to watch the car infront bumping along the track. And into trees...
Nice roofrack James :rolleyes:
Not sure about following LPG motors though - that smell just isnt right!

Am I right in thinking I was the only oil burner on the trip?

Some of those lanes were pretty narrow eh. And i'll never forget the sight of the motorbike on the loose gravel trying to stop himself ploughing into the back of the Rangey! Dont think he was expecting us lot parked down that narrow little lane :)

My heart dropped as we pulled into Chatsworth and I saw the police - I was dreading them seeing the state of my tyres. Little did I know they'd stop all the traffic for us to pass through!

Definately up for doing it again some time, and I quite liked the 'play it by ear' style planning. As long as the groups can contact each other :D

Hope another trip is planned soon.
Thanks for getting it all together Tim.

[jackthedog]

By the way - Swag, did I see your old man driving the yellow mog through Sheffield yesterday afternoon?
There was also a Quad gun tractor heading in the same direction shortly after, in convoy with a Disco. Thought I might be missing an event somewhere.

Also spotted a bunch of BADLRC members laning near the Woodhead that afternoon.

[Rich_P]

Not sure about following LPG motors though - that smell just isnt right!

Am I right in thinking I was the only oil burner on the trip?

Yeah, stinky... I thought the grey OneTen was running rich on LPG as we could still smell the LPG strongly even when we had dropped back.

Oh, and also, you weren't the only oil burner. Tim's 2A was burning oil too... proper style. :D

[LandyV8]

i had a great day. shame i had to leave early but needs must. anyway here are a few of my pictures. nothing great but here goes.

[jackthedog]

Oh, and also, you weren't the only oil burner. Tim's 2A was burning oil too... proper style. :D

:D

Yeah, it's a shame you two had to leave when you did, there were still a nice few lanes to be enjoyed! Unless you are particularly fond of your paintwork... :rolleyes:

Nice pics by the way Lewis!

Good pics Lewis :)

Glad you enjoyed yourself mate :)

I'm currently hunting for a new rack as i type...

As for the LPG smell you get used to it, i don't mind it at all :rolleyes:

Didn't see the bike + rangie thing, was that where we were parked just before Lewis left us?

The police officer directing traffic came up to me and asked if we were green laning, and didnt seem in the least bit 'anti' :)

[jackthedog]

The motorbike incident happened when we were all waiting in the really narrow bit where your dad was assessing the damage to the rack he just clobbered! The bikes were stuck behind us pretty much all along that lane really. :o

[Rich_P]

jackthedog, are you the guy who had the 200TDi blue 90?

[jackthedog]

green... :)

[Bigkid]

Here are a couple of pics I took, wanted to take more but never got the chance.

Had a fab day really, not bad for my 2nd time out laning, following Shadyadie in his rumbler was fun, especially when you see him go down a tight lane and think to yourself, ah I'll have no probs, then seeing the suzuki in all sorts of angles made me thik oh my god what am I doing..

I think, it would have been better to have a bit more organisation, but agree with Shadyadie, mobile no.s would have been a very good idea...and then you could make your own way around..maybe james needs too
a\ slow down and use his rear view mirror a bit more
b\ get his GPS fixed...
c\ get a new roof rack
:D

Bigkid

[jjsaul]

.maybe james needs too

Me?????

Dad was driving...!


And ok ok the GPS is my fault but i'm going to order a new cable, and im already on the hunt for a new roofrack :D

[jjsaul]

jackthedog, are you the guy who had the 200TDi blue 90?
Are you colourblind??

I dont even remember seeing a blue 90 all day, let alone in our group!

[jackthedog]

Ah, blue, green, they're pretty similar. Okay, so green's a bit cooler... ;)

Nice couple of pics there bigkid.

[Bigkid]

Nice couple of pics there bigkid.

Cheers jackthedog, to be honest would have liked to have taken more, maybe when I am not quite upto laning:rolleyes: , I might go naggy-gater with someone and then I can concentrate on my photography too..:p

Bigkid

P.S. Crash Damage to come...

[shadyadie]

Ah, blue, green, they're pretty similar. Okay, so green's a bit cooler... ;)

Nice couple of pics there bigkid.

Without checking the map from the description i will guess you crossed a farm yard before the nice tight section .. :D I t is a tight one that ..

[jackthedog]

Yep, that sounds like the one - the farm yard is just off the road. In fact the route has an 'unsuitable for motors' sign at the beginning.


Orange V8? Cant say I noticed. Someone brought a mean looking Suzuki out, but I never noticed an orange V8...

Looking at them pics of the 'zook in action made me think what an uncomfortale ride it must be when the tracks get rutted - the narrower axles won't allow the wheels to sit into the ruts. Did your missus have neck ache yesterday? :D

:D :D :D Well i,m not surprised james buckled his roof rack , that lane could do with some pruneing up above . Nothing you can do too much with the sides though what with walls and tree trunks ..
I remember when i did that lane a while back thinking that a disco or a rangie might not get through .. Proven to be wrong ..

Well theres a job next time we head that way, save the local council a job :)

Saying that though my missus didnt think we would get through ..And panicked a bit . :D

Anyone up for a Green Lane trip in the Peak District next Sat (the 8th). It has been suggested we do some laning in the southern, White Peak area of the Peak District.

cheers, Tim

If I can get mine running right again I'm up for it.

Its the bloody, LPG and the vacuum valve thingy, bought a new valve and I think its now over advancing....ie box of tricks is advancing it on Gas over 1500rpm and then the vacuum is advancing it further. Or its running lean on Gas as its backfiring..

Run on Petrol and all seems ok, if not a little bit retarded...going to try blocking the vacuum again and see what the results are.

Had a dyno tune for piece of mind (only £20) and he said it was timed spot on and the points were set right etc.. ;)

Just setup on LPG thats the problem

Hope ya settling in ok over there..

Well blocked the Vacuum pipe, so no vacuum advance and what can I say, I was right. Now that there is no v.adv all seems fine..bit better acceleration than before and less 'exhaust' flapping noise too...

Not sure what this is going to do when running on Petrol so have come up with a cunning plan,

Using one of those fuel pipe solenoid thingys place it in the vacuum line.. when on LPG its shut and when on Petrol its open..just a matter of getting the right polarity I suppose.

Therefore when I switch to gas the vacuum is blocked and the Electronic Power box is doing the timing advance elctronically etc, when switching back to petrol the vaccum is returned to open and then the mechanical advance will kick in..

Any thoughts!!

:rolleyes:

Bigkid, getting a bit clever....

[swag298]

Did you get another Mallory vac unit?

The vac unit actually retards the ignition when accelerating, or more correctly.....increasing throttle opening.
In theory when running on petrol you'll get some pinking if you have no ign retard.

Your symptoms would say to me that the ign isn't being advanced enough by the whizzo box, and that disconnecting the vac unit is effectively advancing the ign at any given point in the rev range.

We set the timing static on petrol, without the whizzo box, so.........

Try resetting the ign timing to 16BTDC, running on gas, with the vac unit disconnected. You'll have to do it with a timing light as the static method won't allow the whizzo box to do its' thing. The when you switch back to petrol the timing should retard back to 6deg-ish BTDC.
The reconnect the vac unit and go for a blast.

Wierd that it was perfectly happy on either fuel when you left me. How long did it stay that way? Maybe that new coil is actually a ballast type......

Getting a bit technical for a 'laning thread!
Those bloody foreigners, eh!

Swag, it seems to be running ok with no vacuum on LPG but needs it on petrol.

Will try what you suggest, but had a timing guru dyno it and he said all was fine. in fact it ran fine over night then back to playing up in the morning.

I dont know what to dooo anymore.

Bigkid

[swag298]

Yep, no vac on lpg is causing the ign to run permanently advanced. Ok for the lpg, but petrol needs the retardation of the vac unit to run anywhere near right.
Re-connecting the vac pipe is retarding the ign sufficiently enough for it to run on petrol......kinda.

You need about 16-18BTDC running on gas and 6BTDC on petrol.
Set up on gas then switch to petrol.

Stop sticking wierd thingammes on it! Then you know where you're at!

stick to the basic system....our works now (keeps fingers crossed that it didnt hear me say that :D )

think its time to invest in a timing light...:rolleyes:
