Wow shame I didn't see this post earlier. Sounds like a great day out and would have been perfect for me as im also a newbie!
Any more trips in same area planned soon?

Thanks Paul it was great fun had a blast, enjoyed being the help for once lol.
Made a great change for me to be the help and not being the one needing help.

They give newbies a bad name. That said I am a newbie (based in Nottingham) itching to get my standard discovery 2.5td a bit muddy. Don't want smash it as use it as main transport but happy to get it muddy!! If your up for organising something that's not to far from me I would be there and won't let you down!! Ray

Wow I completely forgot about this group, and in all fairness I don't want a bad name against myself and il tell you all straight,
However this is purely for @Paul D
When I first but this post I had every intention of using my Land Rover and meeting new people and friends and becoming more of aware of byways,
However unfortuntaley a day before the arranged trip I lost my grandad
and I suppose I did hide abit from everybody friends and family included, all I wanted to do was be with my Nan, however a week later my head gasket went so therefore I got too annoyed and parked it at my nans and left it for 8months. With it been at my nans all my tools that I use fixing my cars were in my grandads garage and I just couldn't face going inside for a long time, eventually though i did pluck up the courage and cleaned the dust and started moving things around and eventually fixed the Land Rover, I'm back using it now and thoroughly enjoying it again, I have been using the forum a lot more again because I love driving my discovery. Owing to the long time away from the forum though I genuinely forgot about this post, I sincerely apologise and would still love to go out on a trip with you and I would happily try and plot a route if you would like that, again I'm so sorry to everybody else if I spoilt there day,

Heh, no sweat, it was ages ago ..
It'll come round again, though some lanes have recently closed/changed near Maltby.
I know all about 'hiding' ... 'nuff said ...
I do quite like some of the lanes near bawtry area around scaftworth I think, not sure on the conditions of them though as I haven't been down any in a while

I'm in if you organise something[/QUOTE
What area are you from in Nottingham? Very big place
We also do some routes from Bawtry, through Retford area, North notts etc ... my only issue is time and money to do everything!
I don't go laning a lot locally now, tend to go to Wales, Lakes, Derbyshire, North Yorkshire and Dales and spend the weekends out camping with mates.
When I can be bothered to I'll put a post up, at the moment I'm aiming to get the 90 ready for Wales in early April, so it'll be late April/May before I do get a route up ..
