Good plan. Wintertime is best anyway, the overgrowth dies back, and the lanes arent quite so busy with dog walkers and cyclists. Message me when you see a suitable time window to come down!

This thing!
So the series had an MOT today, two failed lights, two bits of welding and imbalance on rear brakes, not bad!

Seen the movie years ago, cant really remember en now though!
Good. Probably worth taking off the rear drums and having a look. Quite possible one of them is full of fluid, or just worn shoes.
I will get in touch about the welding when I have a moment, unless you have other options locally.

Hi all. Little teaser for the D&C fraternity. Anyone recognise this 'lane', and have you crossed it ? Was out walking with the missus and took the snap. Personally only crossed it on a motorbike and would normally use the crossing upstream.

Would think somewhere in the Tamar valley, think I have seen a pic before, probably posted by Badger
. I wouldn't drive through it either, water ruins yer motor.

Well, that would rule us out then. We never go out in wet weather, might cause ground damage.

Completely.
Ground damage, causing ruts, etc. is unacceptable on a public byway.
If you want to do that, go to pay and play.

Now i do agree with you and i personally would not go if i knew i was going to get stuck and cause damage but i also do like abit of a challenge and tend to avoid going in the summer when its nothing but dry and dusty. would be keen to tag along when you guys do go out.

If anyone wants a good bit of water, i saw someone ploughing through the water on the Bigbury tidal road from Averton Gifford. Not sure if it was an incoming tide but i'd much rather do it on a falling tide just in case! Plus on a falling tide the water won't be as salty so not as much rust damage
Never tried it myself but would have made a great photo!!

At the state of tide when that road is covered, it's just as bleddy saline / brackish whether it's coming in or out...
