Forgot I'd arranged with tc to have a day out laning, no set plan made, no route, so when I remembered and called him, we decided to just try out some local stuff we've not done for years and just see where things take us.
What a day!
First lane we went down became too rutted with at least two trees that we could see also fallen, actually chopped down, so we turned round. Next lane was lovely, some ruts, no tracks! nice and gentle and picturesque. Lane after that was a beeatch! Mud run .. We both got stuck, both needed winching out, more than once in my case, but it was a cracking lane.
We then broke off and met another mate of Tims and the next lane was within 100 yards or so .. so we all got stuck! Combination of winching, digging and towing/snatching got us all through .. mucho mud, mucho fun!
Did loads more, mostly nice, picturesque and less muddy, including a ford.
Great day .. eldest son came with me, Tims son with him and the other lad (I'm useless with names) had a mate and his three kids too, so almost a family do ..
