Hi all, this has been dormant for ages, I will resurrect this now I think.
Sorry I have just been really busy with starting a new job etc etc.

Hi, Lottie and I would like to have a go at this but have never been before, so are not up on the jargon and the modus operandi so to speak. Any links / details we can read ?

Hi Matt,
It is fairly low key to be honest. I am trying to come up with enough linked lanes around the Guilsborough part of the county to keep us occupied for an afternoon,(this is always flexible dependent on conditions - more a starter for 10) we agree who is going to bring what equipment. (Hedge Trimmers, loppers walkie talkies etc).
We all meet at a pre-defined place at a pre-defined place- walk through talk through and then off we go, I acted as tour guide barbie last time... normally any small children that are accompanying us get the gates.
Basically it is no warranties implied or given - everything done at own risk... in good company having a laugh. If a lane looks a bit dodgy, we'll choose a different route...
Simples....
All, The map will be put up tonight..
Thanks

I have no idea where any of this is, but SWMBO is the local so she'll get us there. When are you thinking of?

FB...
Any thought on dates?
If I'm around, happy to bring Memorymap etc with me - equally happy to leave the D1 somewhere and jump in with someone if I'm lowering the tone of the event!!!
Matt.... slightly OT, but do you have horses at Harpole? Think I may have seen your G4 there a couple of weeks back.
Cheers all

Silly question...would I be ok on a part worn set of Wranglers or do I need AT2's or MTR's to join in and not get stuck?

Last time we went out, the lanes were very dry and very easy... TBH the F2 could have probably done most of it on 95% biased road tyres.
Not sure where Flyboy is thinking of this time but fairly sure that the other D3's on here will confirm that your terrain response will make it all look stupidly easy!
Hope you can join us

Not me - SWMBO  It's Lottie's G4 and her horse is at Nobottle so highly likely it was her that you saw. Please keep your eyes peeled for her cos she's dying to have her first "spotted".

Next time you pop up to see Mark come and say hello. He's very good and the mare and stallion are superb horses. I taught him everything he knows. 
As for motoring nirvana, Lee (who runs the yard with Laura) has two Delta Integrales - white one and a red one. And it's his Unimog too. If you see a black Evo 7 up there it's mine 8)

Powderpuff, there is unlikely to be anything that you need full mud tyres for unless it's REALLY muddy & then we'll just pull you out if you get bogged down.
As lifted Disco said, for these types of green lanes, standard car setup is perfectly adequate Bodsys Brake Bible
