You missed an excellent days laning ada:p
We were shouted at, abused and chased by irate hillbillies...Living proof that marrying a close relative for a few generations is fraught with social problems, not just extended lower jaws and bulging foreheads....Did you watch "Deliverance"???..."Squeal like a pig! boy"...Lanin landy only just escaped with his sphincter intact
Watched Derbysred and laninlandy testing the roll-over angle on the same slippery side slope while being abused by the above. Enjoyed some excellent laning and witnessed the resident professional photo jockey stand too close to a muddy water splash.....Twice:D
And the weather was perfect:D

Luckily we had no problems with the locals and the ramblers/walkers were OK most smiling with a look of amusement .

We found Saturday's red-socks very friendly..To be honest I have generally found them OK. I always slow right down or even stop for them, give them a wave or a bit of chat.
With very few exceptions a smile or friendly hello is returned. The exception is usually from some hatchet faced old harridan in plus fours, or an old bloke with a face full of broken veins and a bobble hat...
Now the resident Hillbillies we came across....different story:eek:

It was an entertaining day ..That SLIDE slope was a treat , being shouted at by some mad man and then starting to slide down the bank trying to get straight , hoping for traction and listening to a lunatic :D :D ..

The water splash photo part of the day had me laughing , i was peeing myself when i was coming through watching him diving out of the way of a wall of mucky cow poo infested water :D :D ...

doobreydog

18th Dec 2006, 01:41

Well forgot id offered to guide a group from Wirral around some of our lanes..(28th definite and 29th possible)...probably 5-6 vehicles from there plus me and if anyone else wants to tag along on that on feel free.

Their first time over this way so will probably do some of the better lanes up this top end of derbyshire.

Possibly need another leader if anyones interested.

Im still free 27th and 30th if anyones up for that.

4th of Feb 2007 might be a good day for me if someone can offer me a navigators seat:)

cheers, Tim

Sorted a route for the 4th Feb, subject to some kind person who has a spare seat for a navigator - or sack of spuds as I was once described as by a driver in my rallying days - funny he never won naff all:D

I will need picking up/dropping off Abbey Street area of Derby.

Meet at Chatsworth, SK 258 686, time to suit you lot but 09.00 sounds about right:)

cheers, Tim

No Problems....just checking in now to see whats happening....maybe take my lad off to do some mild lanes as motor has been left packed and dirty from the last couple of days seems a shame to miss out on a day.

Couple of piccies of last few days to keep timbott happy...yes it is a freebie up Stanage in near darkness.:D

Laninlandy

30th Dec 2006, 14:04

Freelander on Stanage ;) Excellent . Good lane that .
Spotted a pic of your truck on ORRP. Yorkshire group crossed your path by the looks of it .

doobreydog

30th Dec 2006, 15:13

Yes passed a few times and went up Stanage just before them...pitch black by the time they were coming up...Have you got a link for where the piccies are I saw a few of them looking puzzled and taking photos of a FL leading a group of discos a 90 and RRC over some of the best lanes round here.:D

Sorry doobreydog, I didn't log on again last night so didn't see your post. You would have been welcome as we had a couple of Disco 1's, a 110, a 130 and a Series IIA with us - I rescued the 110 after it grounded out in front of me on an absolute stinker of a lane into the back of Bamford (NOT the steep straight one) :D

The 110 also bought a sliced front tyre on the Roych! :(

Some pictures can be found at . . .

Looking at the yorkie photos - I think we passed in the Fox Hound car park this morning!

Steve whatsthat lane at back of Bamford then???

If you look here
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=422500&Y=382500&width=700&height=400&gride=420947.143422135&gridn=383578.121568604&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=freegaz&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=true&zm=0&scale=50000&multimap.x=297&multimap.y=168

Its the lane that runs from ESE from Gatehouse - it starts proper just after the second spur (to Nether Hurst) marked Unsuitable for Road Vehicles - its named Hurstclough Lane. It took some serious foliage and branch clearing to get down it - and just before you get to the brook the rutting is so bad that the 110 got stuck on its rear diff.

Did you notice any change to the scenery in the quarry at Pindale...Piccy below...was easier to tow the rock out of the way

Saw the pool - no one was up for it. We got talking to a Quad Biker in that quarry though - he couldn't get up Pindale and claimed we'd never make it! There is a LOT of earth moving machiney at Dirtlow Rake now - the largest of the spoil heaps is virtually gone - looks completely different from 8 weeks ago.

That lane from Bamford is fun, I struck the rear diff on my 90 on that lane in October, no damage, there are some proper wash outs on the eastern side of the stream. The rest of the lane is fine though.

doobreydog

1st Jan 2007, 12:58

That back lane into Bamford Doobrey is the one i took us down and we had to clear the tree ..

If someone managed to ground out down there with a 110 then i wouldn't take them anywhere with ruts ...lol

Didnt think there was anythink severe around that area...thought I had missed out:D Must admit I caught my gas tank guard on a lump of old tarmac surface when I was messing with a camera but cant imagine any LR getting hung up unless there has been a lot of change in last couple of months...Had planned on going down there last Saturday but decided to do Stannage instead as it was starting to get dark....Great fun:D

Roych clough is also a dual status lane and possibly closed to vehicles (don't bother asking the council ) , be careful where you go !Agreed - Derbyshire ROW officer had been contacted (earlier in the year) over this one

No objection at all Mark, but it looks like a case of splitting into groups if all peeps are still interested in a months time, which they probably wont be:(

Well if I can make it from here.....................:rolleyes:

Thanks Tim. If you can let me know which maps needed nearer time I can always buy them and mark them up on the day, and we can go and try and find our way. Need to start getting some maps rather than keeping on relying on others anyway!!
Better hope for a couple of dry weekend days before then, as need to get the old bus checked over after a couple of good workouts in North Wales recently.

Found the PDF's - 12 in all. Are you planning to do all them??? Where will be meeting and what order are you proposing? Let me know and i'll knock up a mem map overlay.

All the lanes are numbered if you look carefully and we are starting at Colton Lees car park, Chatsworth. 19 lanes in all and when we did the BAD run it took about 6-7 hours including lunch stop. Might do it in reverse this time though, or some one way round some the other, see how many actually go for it nearer the time.

cheers, Tim

Jeff I can email you the PDF's of the route if you want, about 3 meg

alclark

9th Jan 2007, 02:07

Room for one more?

It was October when I last did any lanes, we started from the car park in Baslow. We did 11 lanes in 6 hours, though the group was larger than intended.

What is the route?

Coming from Derby heading into the Chatsworth estate, over the bridge, up a bit of a hill and it is on your left, I think there is a garden centre there or summat. Having said that last time I was there they had started to charge for parking:eek: so I think I had better find another meeting place near there:)

No point asking until the week before in my experience Jeff 'cos things just change too much and it just gets confusing. I will announce meeting place (Beeley Moor somewhere) the week before and hopefully confirm my navigators seat with scotana otherwise I will be in a bit of a pickle without a pick up from Derby:o

No point asking until the week before in my experience Jeff 'cos things just change too much and it just gets confusing. I will announce meeting place (Beeley Moor somewhere) the week before :o

cheers, Tim

I agree

We would like to go, but I will not know if I have the rangie ready until later on.
Jaa might come as well if his disco is ready.

Can you pencil my name in if you have space left, I presume you will be splitting into small groups if you get a big turnout.

I cannoy say a definite yes until the week before but I would like to see around that area.

Looks like quite a few are interested:) Give it a couple of weeks and then I will call for a roll call of attendees and then sort out maps from there. If it gets too big I might have to do another route, as well as splitting into groups, to cater for all.

cheers, Tim

Hi Ali ,
Yes if you have no objection to traveling in the back, im sure i can arange something for a bit of comfort for you, like one of those seats that face inwards i purchaced off Tim.
I havn't got a middle seat in at the moment unless i can dig it out of the shed.

Scot, travelling in the back will be fine, I would like to stay with Tim, as it will make it easier than going in different landies, a cushion, large Rum and a grip handle will be fine:D

jeff

alclark

27th Jan 2007, 18:21

I am certainly still available on the 4th and will get there.

I don't know about the road through Stoney, thats my best route to the meet as the A6 is a pain. There isn't anything on the BBC Derbyshire travel info or DCC to say the A623 is still closed.

Also a route would be useful, maybe a list of grid references for lane start and end.

GREENLANING RUN, SUNDAY 4TH FEBRUARY 2007

Righty oh folks, only a week to go and I am really looking forward to this one, I ain't been in the Peak District since last september.

Meet 08.30 in the morning for a 09.00 start at grid ref SK 296 670 (that silly little lane on Beeley Moor).

Anyone who is intending to come along please PM me, along with your mobile phone number, and I will put a bit of paperwork together to dish out to try and ensure we can keep in touch with one another, along with grid refs. I also need to know how many will be coming along so I can see if we need a second route to spread the load a little. Please bring maps of the area as if I need to plot a second route it will only be provided in grid ref form.

Better bring some food and drink as, although it is nice to do a pub for lunch, things rarely seem to work out properly and, anyway, the places are full of toffs scoffing beef and yorkshire pud on a sunday lunch nowadays:(

If poss please let me know via PM by wednesday cos my Internet access will be a bit limited after that as I catch the train to Derby early thursday morning.

Me and Ali will be coming along with scotana, so I will be navigating:yay: and doing gates:( and not driving:rolleyes:

See you on sunday morning at some ungodly hour:D

cheers, Tim

I have put my name down for this and got a day pass out! But it's my first day off since Christmas and it's just dawned on me that it's nearly a 2 hour drive for me so I will need to leave at 6:30 (ish!).

So I need some convincing that it will be a day not to be missed in order to persuade me to drag myself out of bed.

Can you persuade me to come? Where will we be going and what will we be seeing?

Will it be mostly tracks through farmland or mountain tracks and great views? Sorry for all the questions but I don't know the area at all so would like to know if it will be an average days laneing or something not to be missed.

if you don't come along you will wish you had when you see what a great day we had.

Can you persuade me to come? Where will we be going and what will we be seeing?

unless you are a leader mostly the back of the vehicle in front.
and it may not be a toyota

Will it be mostly tracks through farmland or mountain tracks and great views? Sorry for all the questions but I don't know the area at all so would like to know if it will be an average days laneing or something not to be missed

30th Jan 2007, 11:26

So I have had PM's from Markospondon (+ friend), Jeff, Landyzookbabe, alclark, Doodreydog, Derbysred, ada110crew (3 vehicles), Scotana, so that makes 11 vehicles so I reckon with a bit of juggling about, staggered starts, one group doing the route backwards etc one route should be sufficient.

If anyone else is planning on coming along please PM me (with mobile number) within the next 24 hours so I can printout enough maps of the route to cover the groups because I leave for Derby early thursday morning and my internet access will be limited after that and access to a printer nil:eek:

The route comprises 19 lanes in all and is actually the last route I organised with BADLRC so it has been recently 'tried and tested':)

cheers, Tim

PS. On one lane at least, you will get scratches - so that's me off the hook:D

adafish

30th Jan 2007, 19:05

well its gonna take me a hour n half to get there so, early start for the ADA posse....about 9.30 meet, is that right..

Hey Ada,if you can remember the way to my house, (where you fetched the v8 from ) i will be setting off at about 7.00 ish to pick Tim and Ali up

if you come up the A38 into derby(Kingsway island) follow it down to the petrol station at the bottom(Marketon island) i will be passing there an the A52 (ashbourn road) i can go round the petrol station to meet up if your passing through at that time
regards scott

i will have two daughters soon the second is being made at the moment 20 weeks to go

timbott

30th Jan 2007, 23:00

14 vehicles now, still just about get away with 3 groups and the route I have ready to print out so I will printout 3 copies (too expensive to print out unwanted pages in colour - 12 pages per copy of the route:eek: ) so if more peeps turn up we will just have to busk a few bits here and there but, so long as peeps bring maps I am sure summat will come together just fine (I will have my marked maps with me).

Just wondered if anyone who is along at the weekend wants to buy a Midland CB radio + aerial and clamp type mount? I bought it last year for £80 when I was doing the laning stuff with BADLRC, anyone interested 50 quid. I need to know by this time tomorrow night though so I can pack it ready to bring up thursday morning.

cheers, Tim

timbott

31st Jan 2007, 00:34

31st Jan 2007, 10:43

Righty oh we are now up to 15 vehicles so no more please now, no time to plan for anymore 'cos I'm on my way to Derbyshire soon.

The list:
Markospondon + a friend
Jeff
Landyzookbabe
Alclark
Doobreydog
Derbysred
Ada110crew
Malcfish
Domfish
Scotana + 2 friends
Mungo
Jimgnr

Split into 3 groups I reckon, one group do the route backwards (I'll lead that one with Scot!!) and other 2 do the route as map printouts that I will provide with a 20-30 minute interval between the 2 groups. Best keep in touch via mobile so we don't meet head on on a narrow lane:o and we might even all congregate for a lunch stop somewhere:rolleyes:

Derbysred, ada110crew and friends I have no mobile number for so if you send it NOW I will include it on the list I'm putting together and will print off tonight. Dead handy for us all to have numbers in case we get split up (ask shadieadie:D )

You disapoint me Tim, I thought every lane and byway would be imprinted on your brain...:p
My problem was, I was getting the middle of the lane, and I thought... "Nobody would meet in the middle of a lane".."Any sane and normal person would choose one end or the other"

The ramblers were on our local news bulletin last night talking about the quarry we went past (the one we did one of our many u-turns of the day at )just before we had to stop for 10 minutes to let them all past!!
I saw the old dear who asked us to switch off our engines, apparently she could smell chips!! Wonder why..........

Good to meet all the guys in our group, and thanks to Tim for the efforts on all the routes, think we'll have to go up some time soon and do the remainder-hopefully not get too lost next time.:rolleyes:

As times is ard for a poor pensioner, I have arranged for my Uncle Tony to present you with a Dukedom in return for the pics...AND the negatives

The first one may just about be attributable to me:o ...

Now, the second one, I wish to lay the blame for that at callisr's door.
If he hadn't grabbed my arm, screaming something about "We're going over, we're all doomed" while mistakenly undoing the straps on his lurex hot pants instead of the seat belt, I, would have regained control and righted the situation.

Bullship correct:D ...When I did get to look at it it was just same rccovery but you were being taken from the rear.:eek: (filmed that is)

Cant even find it....has anyone got any proof I did film second recovery know I got out of my motor to film it ...maybe just forgot when I got there....back onto the subject of senility where was I:)

You can now officially take on the mantle of a "senile old git"...Next you will be forgetting to undo your flies before taking a leak:D. You will also find the bromide they fed you in the army will start to take effect:(
Being "Taken from the rear" is a risk you take when callisr is behind you under any circumstances...While busy attaching a tow rope to a bumper at a low hight you are particularly at risk, maybe its time I bought a Freeby:D

Obviously youve realised why the missus sends me to play in the mud....and offers to wash the car:D

Well just starting to fall heavy here now....going for a run up the hills tonight and if we aint got some decent stuff by the morning then think Ill be travelling ....even is only for a couple of inches:D

Well....did you get a couple of inches?:D

Or did you find some snow covered lanes to drive instead?
I drove from Burton to Uttoxeter last night and a 20 minute journey took 1 hour due to the snow. Dual carriage way wasn't bad but small roads were very treacherous!
All the snow seems to be vanishing before my very eyes now though:(

Laninlandy

10th Feb 2007, 13:25

Mungo , being your usual smutty self :D :D .

Yup all the snow is Thawing out . Stood on top of a hill yesterday at 4pm and i haven't seen snow come down like that for years . Got covered in it in seconds , couldn't even see walking into it :D .
The gritters were out in force before 4pm , when i eventually got back my misuss's suzi and headed back onto the roads they were white out . People slip sliding all over the place .Tailgaters having little prangs and probably wondering why :rolleyes: .
Gave the missus a quick tutorial on how to use the low range box . Going down a steep hill with queing traffic , 1st gear low box keep your distance and crawl all the way with no need to "dab" (and slide) the brakes .
Tried 2nd gear low and it was running to quick . 1st low felt like landy 3rd low . I can conclude that landrovers have better and lower gearing than a suzi vitara .(back in 4wd high)She had a nasty habit of putting the car into 1st when the speed was a bit high for it and the front end nose diving . She wouldn't beleive me that if she did that on a paticulary slippy bit the back end will want to come round and the car would start spinning like a ballet dancer . Luckily she never got caught out.
Plenty of cars sliding around though :D . The snow came down just in time for friday evening rush hour :D

Saturdays are preferable right????

Let me know if you fancy comming along / prepared to lead?

'cos it all seems to have gone quiet and LL seems keen to keep the ball rolling. We have spoken about this phenomenon, me and LL, but hopefully things will be sorted by others and the ball is kept rolling along and it will not be another idea that fizzles out.

Sorry, not trying to be stroppy or anything but it is amazing how many trips just simply do not happen:(

Talking of trips that do not happen, I might do something in mid Wales for all interested peeps - probably June:)

Its over 2 weeks from the proposed laning date. The guys that want to attend have identified themselves and details will be posted nearer the time! ;)

The only person making a song and dance out of this Tim is you. And you wont be attending, nor do you own a Landrover or live in Derbyshire :eek:

Sorry, not trying to be stroppy or anything but it is amazing how many trips just simply do not happen:(

Which trips are you referring too??? :confused:

timbott

6th Mar 2007, 19:51

Which trips are you referring too??? :confused:

None in particular but it does amaze me how many proposed trips come to nought. Don't forget I have been getting greenlaning trips together for over 20 years now and it ain't hard, so why do so many ideas seem to hit a brick wall? Maybe that is why I have sold the Landy and really don't miss it, maybe time to shut my mouth and let you youngsters get it right:)

To be honest Chris I really hope greenlaning keeps going and going and Wales this summer could be fun if anyone is interested and I can get good info.

Maybe I have just been involved too long and I should just jack it in:(

cheers, Tim
