lanes in amazingstoke

Snifflebag · Jan 7, 2010

Pulling together some noob laning on Sunday 17th for a visitor from another parish :alien: Was hoping to get out to look at some new (to me) lanes.

Intend to try and plan a route this weekend and then confirm start points etc by PM. Will run the route by someone who knows the lanes better than me (<fx cough />, MHM hope that would be OK?) to make sure everyone doesn't get too much recovery practice on my freeby

As it's my first go, don't expect a polished and slick route! If you're happy to tag along at a noob's pace, drop me a PM.

Sent out a PM to those who expressed an interest. Looking forward to getting out after being thwarted the last two attempts!

Hi Snifflebag...MHM,

I would be interested to go, if you have space. I have been reading the forum for some time but only just registered.

A P38 eh? do you mind getting the body scratched to buggery?

PM Sniffy - its his shout.

Dry Hump · Jan 12, 2010

It's an old one....not to fused about it. But snifflebag said it was for newbies..... So i am guessing nothing to adventurous!!!!!!

Silly question (cos LZ members are a restrained and teetotal lot

) - anyone know of pubs around Alton we might consider on our travels on Sunday?

The Poacher in South Warnborough does very good food.
The Railway in Alton does very good ale but no food
The 8 Bells in Alton also does very good ale but no food
The French Horn in Alton also does good ale and good food (and has a car park).
etc

The NoName on the way to Farringdon also does very good food and ale but i don't know if we'll be heading in that direction although there are some good lanes up there. It laos has a mahoosive car park but it's in the middle of nowhere so I'd have to look on a map to find it.
Here's a link

Last time we stoped at the poachers great food and service and large car park

Hi Sniff,

I am really sorry, but i am not going to be able to make it on sunday, something at work has cropped up and i just can't get out of it. Gutted, i was really looking forward to meeting up with you all. Oh well hopefully next time. I hope that this hasn't put you out, if so my apologies.

I hope that you all have fun, though I am sure you will

I have tried to PM you, but I am not sure if it is going through!!!!!!

Regards
Scottie

It's raining here so maybe we will have more mud than ice/snow

List is
Snifflebag
The Mad Hat Man
Rustyrangie
Ned25
Paulieboy (of another parish)
Kooky Guy
Redwingslandrover

Had thought about the French Horn for lunch - this would be relatively close to the end of the first section of the route I had prepared. Depends how we get on to be honest.

Snifflebag · Jan 16, 2010

PMed everyone. List currently

I'm not too far from you and would be keen to tag along next time, but can't get free this time round.

Snifflebag · Jan 17, 2010

Thanks to everyone for a great day out and to Redwings for taking the lead later on and keeping us all on the straight and narrow - certainly made the Freeby work hard

No one got stuck though

Will post piccies and video just as soon as I can.

The Mad Hat Man · Jan 17, 2010

glad yu had a good day. ****ed I missed it

.
next time.

reg aldershot · Jan 17, 2010

id love to tag along next time for some fun

redwingslandrover · Jan 17, 2010

Good day out no doors falling off the freelander and the suspension stayed up on the p38 but the paint work took a bashing heres the pics

The Mad Hat Man · Jan 17, 2010

Looks like a good, but wet day.

I see you went down "the drop" rather than up it.

I assume the bone-shaker was just mud & ruts?

redwingslandrover · Jan 17, 2010

Started at five lanes finished at well few lanes blocked with downed trees bone-shaker full of water missed out few lanes but still managed 6 hours of laning
