Are you doing this trip without a spare
I always carry 2
I may buy a few cans of tyre foam
Will be carry half shafts, possibly a spare if I can afford one or find one on ebay!

I'm not, however I did watch you reverse my Landy up Cam yesterday, just to show me it could get down
You should be pleased I have faith in you, Zip and 200, its a complement
compliment or not, no ones infallible
biggest problem's gonna be groups behind catching the groups in front, in the event of an incident/misdemeanour.
look at paul on cam, no fault of his, but would cause a reet old jam on a drivel do.
(no offense paul :bump2
edit.
or drivel and a pile of half shaft bits ^^^

The staggering on the lanes is fairly large! Odds are the parkamoor start group are going to be a long way behind those at grizedale as the lane has to be driven twice and then you're a couple of miles from the next one!
Grizedale takes a little time as you need to be careful so you'll be a good way back from us starting on Tarn How
The Tarn how lot will be slow and the quarry lane is fast so they'll hopefully be long gone by the time we reach! Then the final group starting on a small lane will have a small drive to grizedale and beat the parkamoor lot to it by a good half hour!

Yeah I sent a GPX, you wont really be able to tell which are the start points off that either but it'll give you the route
I'll highlight starts on the PDF though and hand out a hard copy on the day to the lead vehicles
No, you need a pass from the highways to do that one and only at certain times of the year
We're doing breast high on the sunday though which should be nice

walna was shut a few years back which is a right pain as it'd have been lovely to drive over in convoy then stop on the top for a few pics

No taken
For those wanting PDF and GPX send me a PM with an email address, the new PDF is actually a proper one now as I've worked out how to use the site
Cheers, nrgserv has just sent me it

Right, lets talk rubber!
I have a choice of tyres, I've not been to this part of the country let alone offroading so I got no idea what sort'a terrain it is and what's the best tyre for he job!
I got some 235/70 BFG AT's
Or
235/85 Insa Turbo Special Tracks
What do you guys think?

my thoughts are, 1 inch less diff clearance on the AT's but are they a better tread pattern for the terrain?
