I reckon the Yorkshire Moors or Yorkshire Dales would be great.

Dan just take the D2 and go round the proper off road bits

Done a weekend laning on the moors earlier this year, some good drives and scenery, still got the routes on MM.

They'll do more damage then offroading ha ha!

Really wanna do the Lake District but this is a bit closure, nearer to the distance for the Wales trip.

wickford90 · Oct 15, 2013

Most were easy drives but miles and miles long across the moors, were a couple of serious loose rocky ones up steep hills.

Count me in.
Ditto. I love the lakes and they have some cracking lanes, but its a good hour & half on top of Wales.

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 15, 2013

Never been so I'm up for it. Next question is does anyone have any free time to plan routes, look for accomodation, local sites etc.

Obviously with my wedding in December, and honeymoon in January it will depend when we go.....

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 15, 2013

My 30th beginning of feb so was thinking late feb early march maybe

Drizz · Oct 15, 2013

Than chances are i can help sort route planning and such like in Feb!

wickford90 · Oct 15, 2013

I have time to do some searching, if we can decide on areas and dates. Im open on dates and area, not done the lakes.

Can't believe how well your taking it all Jon, amazing strength.

Linking along your other thread of making plans what are peoples thoughts on another trip away along the lines of the Wales trip a couple of years back?
Probably after Christmas now but maybe January/march time?

I would love to say yes but in all honesty I doubt I could do a weekend away, a days laning will take it out of me, unfortuantly I am past the point of reasonable health and really am down to a day activity and then a few days rest, I had the pain specialist round today and am having to have a complete medication change as morphine isn't cutting it anymore which shows how far it's gone.

I will be out for a day though as soon as I have e situation a bit more under control, I will keep people posted...

Drizz · Oct 15, 2013

Look forward to seeing you bud!

Co-Pang-Yang · Oct 16, 2013

So Moors, Dales or Lake District then lads?

Tuskenraider · Oct 16, 2013

Jesus Jon that sounds awful

Its good to see you looking at the few positives you have available and it certainly puts things into perspective. All the best mate.

Think i might need yet another new battery as its having trouble starting in the mornings already and its not even cold yet

I really need to start remembering to disconnect the battery when not using it for months as i am doing a battery a year at the moment.

Happy to help with route planning if needed.

When you are able, what about a day around Thetford? Those lanes were not to bumpy and they are within an hour. Could include some time near the airbase. I went past this week just as some jets were coming in. Very nice.

You could always drive (or be driven) in a car and then jump in one of the trucks for as long as you want.
Take care mate and look forward to catching up soon.

Local lanes will be fine I reckon, I don't want to go to far so I can skip off if needs be. I will be in the shogun still as it's a mates now and he wants to take it out plus I never really got to test it, it's also quite comfy which is a bonus. I may even try to get him to do a bures or Essex off road day as I can have a break there...

Maybe better to start with dates and who then see who fancies where, as i said anywhere is fine with me.

Got my alternator back today from getting refurbed

) £60 that's half the price of a new one lol (really got to start stripping to get the head off and skimmed & pressure checked - but the weather hasn't been very kind - you lot with workshops and barns and tools really do have an easy life, me I'm on a windy hill with no tools and a black gravel drive - so if I drop a nut, bolt, washer I am fooked!
