This is going to be interesting
I know I'll more or less roll down the first hard one, the pass should be interesting with my turning circle though ..I could regret this doing a 3 point turn on the top of hardknott! Disco was bad enough and thats only on 31" tyres

I had 6/16's on my series when it arrived
those 35's finally look right! Anyway partially mapped, may have to make some changes as I'm not sure if any of the lanes I've mapped have been shut ?

Think Parkamoor is open so taking us through there then up into grizedale to finish off if thats still open!
Do something like the fox then head off to one of the pubs in hawkshead to finish ?
Might be a case of either starting at different points or just having a 30 minute delay between groups but I'd be thinking early morning start and we can all gather on top of Hardknott for the sunrise or if we're a bit slow then by the old quarry

My definition of early morning already has the sun in the sky
Please add me as a reserve; provisional yes.

Right I've created a route from memory, hopefully gone down the right lanes
If not I'm sure we'll work it out on the map before hand I've definitely got parkamoor and think I've included the fox in grizedale
PM inbound sue

I'd advise diff guards as a minimum guys I survived without them in the disco but some bits were a little close
Steering guard wouldn't be a bad idea either depending on how aggressive you are

Who's leading ? Put your names down and I'll send out the first draft of the map for a quick browse. Comes in at 82 miles currently but I can make it longer or shorter if you want
Running through a town with a good pub so we can grab a proper lunch if wanted

Or just a pie from the butcher. Either way it has nice good there

Might have to bypass some bits then...
It'll cost enough getting 2 hubs and the ball joints sorted
without buying guards. ( Nots sure if a steering guard will go under the front bumper anyway)

I'm just welding some home made HD pans onto my diffs although my diff clearance is pretty good already with the tyres on!
Take it slow and pick your route carefully and you'll be fine, my disco was running +1.5" suspension, standard shocks and 245/75/16s
