| Anyone fancy some gentle lanes in the Peaks? |
|
Hi all,
Mapped out a gentle route in the Peaks on Saturday, disregarding the lane I burst my tyre on, the rest were basically flat and open.
I'd be happy to lead a group of people with less experience, or standard cars that want to try out laning safely. https://www.facebook.com/discoadventuress/ - All for fun

Could be interested, but with you being a newbie to the forum, what are your "off road" leading credentials please.
Oh, and please don't ask me to check fb .... I don't do that stuff.
...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

If the date worked I would be up for that.
Not new to laning but new to doing it in a D3 so keen to experience the difference from my old D2

Did it again last night, would need to miss out one of the lanes for those with no desire to risk any scratches, but there's a good 34 miles of rocks and a bit of mud. https://www.facebook.com/discoadventuress/ - All for fun

Looks good, depending on dates.
Probably bring D2 if that's ok.

Hi,
As I mentioned my TR isnt working at the moment. I am going to change the oil in the transfer box and Diff's in an attempt to clear it. So at the moment, other than being able to raise the height, I basically driving a standard car. Added to this I have never done any green laning or off roading, so a complete newbie!
When are you looking at going and what sort of time? Where would you plan to finish up? Macclesfield isnt too bad for me to get to, probably about an hour and a half ish.
If I cant make this one, please let me know when you are next going out. Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

I'm going Saturday, but I'm trying out a few lanes so not great for someone who hasn't been before.
I'm open to when you guys want to go. https://www.facebook.com/discoadventuress/ - All for fun
