WOW... What a great weekend! Kate and I had a fantastic day on saturday! excellent lanes! It was great to meet new folks and the same goes for the familiar faces :)
On sunday we spent the day driving and exploring Wales. We took mostly B routes and saw the most amazing villages... the countryside is absolutely fantastic! What a beautiful country!
We made a trip to the coast and lunched on a sandy beach :)
We got home this evening after a easy going session stopping in Brecon
I have some pics that i will post a bit later, and of course a couple of clips that I will upload to my website.
Once again Awsome Easter Weekend in Wales!

Gald you all had a good time,i see from the pics that you drove the byway by the campsite from the bottom to the top,thats a cracking little lane if i do say so myself.:)
Water at the top looks a tad shallow,you needed more rain the week before:D
The river crossing and wading sections were nowhere near as deep as last time Pete.

It looks like you all had a great weekend. I’m very jealous that I didn’t come laning with you on the Saturday. I'll bring the 110 next time. Thanks for taking me on the lane on Friday evening James. That was my Landy fix for the weekend :D

hello chaps,
I was the guy with the red series 2a and mad dogs on the campsite.
It was great to see all your fantastic landy's. Glad to see you had a good weekend getting all muddy. You have the right idea taking in the countryside from the drivers seat, not sat on a bike saddle in the cold and wet.
You were a very nice bunch to meet and chat to, I must get my 90 out and muddy with you lot some time.
cheers

Hi and welcome Simon. That's a smart looking and well preserved Landy you had there.
Hope to see you around.

Hi Simon.
Welcome to the forum. That’s a nice landy you have. You will have to get out with us next time we plan a trip out laning. I was the one in the Astra by the way. Ill be in the landy next time.

Thanks guys for the comments on the old beast, I would like to get out lanning more, I will keep an eye out to see what your all up to, I'm not very experienced off road, just a couple of driving days with the land rover experience, so a novice in that respect. Driving with a group would give me more confidence / back up should anything go wrong.
anyway nice meeting you all
Cheers

I live in south derbyshire, near the leicestershire / nottinghamshire boarder in melbourne, very near donington park.
I'm up for a lanning trip, so will keep a look out. I do alot of mountain biking in the peak district / yorkshire dales / wales and know the areas quite well, but never driven any of the lanes.
Was the V8 ok after it's soaking?

JJ's probably in a better position to comment, but I was well impressed with his truck :)
and in saying that... he comes prepared with his water-proofing and WD40 :D... so no reason for it not to be OK :)

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! :D

Not a million miles away then!!
There's the derbyshire laning group which go pretty much monthly. Look in the laning section and theres a huuuge thread somewhere :)
Yes the V8 was fine...even if i did have wet feet :D
