Spyderman, myself and Discobasher ar heading out over Ashwell way (Herts) on Sunday. Anyone else up for a little gentle trundle down the byway from hell?

Kris 300TDI · Jun 14, 2008

Hi i could do an early morning drive, would have to aim to be back to Surrey for about 3 in the afternoon. If that's OK post a time and meeting place or if you want email me a contact Number and i'll give you a call later. [email protected]

Email sent

Ryder · Jun 15, 2008

i sent one too with mobile and home phone. Hopefully will arrive in time

Ryder · Jun 16, 2008

29 bleedin hours! This has to be longest day's laning in history... if it weren't for a handy farmer and Discobasher I'd stil be there!

Many thanks to Jai for coming to try to recue us despite having cleaned the motor... and of course to Spyderman for taking the family home when everything finally went tits up!

God is sending me message..... I think I need a disco.

Ryder now, din't someone once say, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, or should that be get me stuck once...

What you need is not a disco, though that would be an improvement, but the better part of valour!

all the best urbandekay

Ryder · Jun 16, 2008

Urban... you are right... should have walked th damn thing first. But at least a disco would have got me home the same day! Piccys will follow

Spyderman · Jun 16, 2008

Ryder,
That is a lane to scratch from the list. I've no desire to drive a lane in such poor condition, in fact driving it or lanes like it just gives the anti's ammo. Thing is we drove it earlier in the year with out real problems, shame we couldn't have turned around. It's been chopped up pretty badly by tyres much bigger than ours, making it undrivable for average tyre sizes. Come on guys, 36" tyres do us no favours.

Kris 300TDI · Jun 16, 2008

Cracked radiator plug, blown rear diff and still made it home to Surrey in my Disco.

Spyderman · Jun 16, 2008

Thought it sounded a bit dodgy.

GamekeeperJames · Jun 16, 2008

unlucky mate, im sure you will have it sorted soon and have it back out again

Ryder · Jun 17, 2008

36" tyres have nothing on the ones that tractor was wearing! I agree though spyderman, we would not have attempted this lane if we had done a proper recce... but being further into the summer you expect that it will be easier than it was in March.

Sirus · Jun 17, 2008

and the piccies are??????

Ryder · Jun 17, 2008

working on the piccys... the upload cable for the computer got trashed so Ihave toreplace it.

Kris 300TDI · Jun 18, 2008

Second hand diff on it's way tomorrow, £70 ebay, back on the road soon i hope.

Spyderman · Jun 18, 2008

Kris, Hope it's a good one. Fingers crossed.

jai_landrover · Jun 18, 2008

70 quid next time shout me I got load sitting here will be cheaper lol. As for getting stuck again tut tut! I personally wouldn't have left my mota there i would have used the turfur till it was out or i died! Getting the kids home was priority so well done! Ryder if you fancy doing some challenging stuff im going to a trial end of the month, they will even let anyone over 14 drive the gentil courses after being signed on, but mota must be all mechanically sound i.e. Mot-able, ill let you know Jai

jai_landrover · Jun 18, 2008

P.s. I just brought some more tyres! Need to collect them soon Jai
