Some Lake District Green Lanes
Finally got around to sorting some photos out from last weekend in the Lake District. We camped in a friends field just outside of Bowness and took in a selection of lanes.

First lane of the day was Parkamoor which is a dead end so you have to drive up it and turn around and come back. I didn't take the D4 up here as a few people had told me it was too narrow for a D4 but having driven it in a 110 I think the D4 would handle it without any problems.

By the way that's Bellman Houses in the background, they are owned by a forum member and the website is www.bellmanhouses.co.uk
On Sunday by the time we had packed up and decided to head home we decided to do the Old Coach Road

All in all a brilliant weekend with some good friends and some beer Cheers Ian

Great pics and I'm full of admiration for you pushing a Disco 3 up there. The thought of the £££ cost if you misjudged puts me right off - I must be a wimp

Dave Rusland Pool is lane number UID SD3389-01 on Trailwise we started it at SD 332 894 It's just south of Satterthwaite. If you look on this Google map the triangle of roads in the middle, it's the lane that runs to the south west. There are seasonal closures on the lane for protection of the spawning grounds
