Well we did but it pulled us with a 90 and it was mostly on the driveway approach!Stapleford Lane. I drove first straight into the mire, got stuck within a minute of getting to the lane, could have gone the easy way around it, but we decided i should give it a go. Leonberger came to rescue me and got stuck himself, Exactly wot me n stu did!
I don't think I'd be needing an L200 next time

I've Just been on one of my "friends" facebook pages on my lappy top,
It's interesting what you can find in videos.
For example. one video i found had a "4x4" trying to get up a hill, which looks like its on a lane not to far from here. Its making the most rediculously (cant spell) fast approach, getting half way to the top, getting stuck because the driver is an idiot, ragging the crap out of it and chopping the lane up. Then breaking hard, sliding back and loosing control into the grass verge, then not thinking "i've done enough damage already and its not working" but the idiot tries it again at faster speed, gets to the top turns round and then gets to the brow and floors it down again.
I was quite supprised of this person. IDIOT
Its people like that that ruin it for the rest of us.
Lets all remember the ramblers do not need any more of an excuse to get the lanes closed from us.
I'm not perfect by any means at all. but i hate the idea of us loosing the right to do something we all love.
OK rant over. looks like u lot had a good weekend, gutted i missed it! next time!
Landy is much better thanks to DB, what a legend that man is! He's helped the majority of us at some point. not coz he has to but coz he's a nice guy
Peace out x

Great pics! ditto on the DB comments... he has little enough spare time and always manages to9 make time to help us out when we need it most. That does seem to be a central theme to our little group though! i've learnt more in the last 12 months about landys than in the previous few years!
Gutted we are missing all the fun but we'll be back on track soon. Money dictates that I take the repairs slowly and carefully, then there will be the mot for the landy so aiming to be ready for the summer events!
Cheers to you all!!

Half way down there is a link to what lanes are open to drive on

Fort that was a road.Cant be a by way- more of a river.Also very hard to damage it seeing as its a water course.
