saturday 8/12/07 Derbyshire green lanes
Hello.
well as Dinky said what a day snow rain MUD what more could we have asked for .
Dinky them Berger's were a real treat .thank you .
we set of from Bamford at 9.40. drove to leaside road .me leading Big G in the middle and Dinky on the back door, it had a lot of water coming down caused a few washouts ,we managed them all no problem.
Them patrols are wide though, well done Gorden good bit of driving there m8. next Hurst clough lane more washouts and leaves everywhere ,said hello to my ROCK. and rolled over it no trouble .
we then drove the beginners day route starting with Dirk low rake ,pin dale , snow started to fall as we went up Brough lane flakes as big as 50 p piece's :roll: big puddles of water to splash through
took a few photographs. Bret-ton, Sir William Hill and Plague lane got us to eyam, for an early dinner 11.30 and Dinky got the burgers on all under an umbrella. well done mate.
just after 12.00 we were heading of again Tideswell lane this time went to wrong end so did only thing we could do in the circumstances ,
drove it turned around and drove it again loads of very big puddles to drive very carefully :roll: through.i think we managed to get the water over the stone walls both ways. :lol: .
Short and Water lanes and Pennine Bridleway ,Monksdale and Long Lane were all flooded .Water flowing along them in mini rivers. had to keep an eye out for washouts .
Bull Tor Lane , water had cut deep cuts into it we stopped at the top and had a coffee Ellie had her picture taken and then fell in a rut silly dog, covered in MUD. :lol: .we stopped on the bridge at Monsal Dale to feed the trout but there was to much water running which had put them of the feed this is after me dragging Big G and the boys out of there patrol to see the fish being fed. SORRY guys. .
Hassop common came next even Deeper puddles ,more photos. then onto Houndkirk Moore what a difference fog rain sleet a track that was more like a river all good fun, then onto Lady Cannings Plantation. set off got stuck backed of had a bit of a run at it and up she went as this was happening Dinky calls out over the CB ."GUSIFYESHUVIT. :lol: :lol: :lol:
He was right next came a steady rock crawl threading our way between the biggest of the rocks and driving up the side slopes Sheila calling me names when she slid down the seat and sat on the handbrake :roll:
we finished :roll: the lane sheila got out to open the last gate of the day. I drove through it and there before me was a big hole about 2ft deep shear sided and full of water ,so gunned it a bit and jumped over it DUKES OF HAZZARD STYLE. gust banged the tow ball
next came Gordon in the patrol took the same line and just rubbed his tow bar , then JJ and Dinky JJ tried to put one wheel on the banking
at the side rather than risk getting stuck in the long wheel base terrano.
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
A quick tow later and he was clear of the mud well done Gorden .
didn't even use 4 wheel drive .
We set of for Cam Heights Burbage to complete the course we drove along and WHOOOSH a great big puddle on the tarmac road cleaned all the mud of the trucks .
When we parked up Dinky said the water was deep at the cattle crossing was`nt it we hit it at 40mph must of been like driving into a river .well it washed our trucks so well we all went thou it again. on the way home.
We finished just after 4pm so a good time considering the weather conditions and extra lanes we did.
SO DONT FORGET TO COME ALONG ON THE 30TH DECEMBER
AND ENJOY THE DAYS LANING .
There may be some more places available so get your names down.
