you'll be fine, no better way to learn than doing with those that can help.OK :jaw:
I have the map, I can always wait at the other end
The Doc can follow me
an drivel's machine, with the lack of articulation ability and the weight of a small tilcon wagon, will make a perfect ground anchor

Bring him along, he can sleep in the bunk barn with us, there is a spare bed. Sandra, Lou and I will look after him. Give Sandra some practice, she is a Granny now
You can rough it with the rest of them in a tent or the Disco

When you said you might come
It says "those who are thinking about coming" you said you were thinking about it.
Those who are probably coming have put their names on the spreadsheet, you haven't
Which reminds me I have one to delete

Yeah, I'd like one for V8's that has at least two fuel stops
There are a few garages on the way, I will mark them on the map this weekend (along with the toilets
)
Can't split routes till they've been driven and assessed ...
I get an idea of what they might be like from contours and other references, eg, tracks through Peat Marshes are likely to be boggy, woodland is often muddy or dusty, etc, but there's no definite answer till you've seen them in real life .. ground conditions determine what's what really ..

hmm, what counts as a challenge.
I don't want no boring grass lanes, I like a bit of a challenge, but don't wanna wreck the motor either (scratches n small dents don't count)

There are few lanes in the Dales that are boring and conversely there are only a few I know of that will easily wreck a car. Of course, that depends on how much of a numpty someone drives .. and two lanes that easily wreck a car are already TRO'd so won't be driven. Most of them could be challenging in different conditions, I've driven them in wet and dry and none stopped me in a standard Disco on AT tyres ... A standard Defender will have no issues with any of them, again, providing numptiness is kept minimal ..

in that case i reckon you should be the group with drivel
it'll be full of challenges, but nowt to do with the lanes
