Nice one Ade, see you Saturday. If I can wangle it to get there any earlier I'll let everyone know.

Either day is fine with me. We'll call this Saturday a recce for the next run out :) Unfortunately some of the lanes are not suitable if the weather has been too wet, they go straight over fields and would just cut up too much if wet, they are so little used there is no visible route on the...

Yep, I'm deffinitely up for a run out on Saturday. How about meeting at the tea rooms in Tissington for a 10:30 start, earlier if you want a breakfast or a brew first. I can't get there any earlier unfortunately.

I definitely can't do the 8th but could do the 7th or either day the following weekend. I'm still up for a run out somewhere this Saturday as well if anyone fancies it? Let me know and I'll sort a route. Did a couple of lanes on the way back from collecting the D2 but had to be a bit carefull on...

Finally picking up my new (to me) D2 today so will hopefully have it ready to play by the weekend. I've had a route based around Ashbourne planned for a few months now but just not had the chance to get out and do it. Any one fancy meeting in Tissington for a 10:30 start on Saturday?

Was passing near Little Eaton today so thought it would be rude not to go and have a look. I last did this lane 30 odd years ago on 2 wheels, when I lived nearby in Kilburn, and both Moor Lane and the lane that climbs off to the right at the end of the tarmac were in regular use, although even...

Definitely won't be out on Saturday, the D2 will need a bit of sorting before I take it on any serious lanes and as I can't pick it up till Friday then Saturday will be fettling day. Won't be able to use the current D1 as the insurance will have been swapped to the D2! Might be able to do Monday...

"Here Drive" the new name for the old Nokia maps app. Free downloadable and routable mapping for most of the world for Andriod, IOS and Windows Phone. Obviously only covers sealed roads unless unsealed ones are part of the main network but is a great free offline navigation app. If you have a...

Hi Ade, hopefully picking up a D2 this week so will be well up for a few lanes to christen it, once I've swapped the flash 18" alloys and road tyres for my modulars and knobblies. Not sure about Saturday or Monday yet but will post as soon as I know when I'm free.

I'd say a more than likely, but won't be able to commit 100% untill 6-8 weeks before the off due to the nature of my business and it's fluctuating finances!! I've only ever done a few routes along the coast of Normandy on two wheels so I'm happy to explore anywhere. Just threw Val d' Isere in...

I could well be up for this, years since I did any off roading in France. Just a sugestion but if you want a base for a few nights with lots of fantastic routes on the door step take a look at Val d' Isere. There is a good campsite just to the West of town http://campinglesrichardes.free.fr/...

Most of it would have been, nothing a D4 on A/Ts couldn't do but some a bit overgrown and scratchy, unfortunately it was last Saturday! Keep an eye on here though as I'll be off out again soon. probably over the weekend of 17/18th.

Not been out for a proper day for ages. Anyone fancy a few lanes Ashbourne way on Saturday? Nothing too taxing, well maybe one or two could be a bit tricky but mostly gentle and very scenic, and a late start (can't get over that way till about 11am). Can meet up in the center of Ashbourne or...

*NOW SOLD* Off road tyres on steels 195 R 15 loads of tread, only done a few hundred miles then been stored in shed. May fit later freelanders but you'd have to check on that. £60 collected from near Buxton or I can meet half way for cost of fuel.

Has it got the standard steering wheel with the round horn button in the center, if so how much? You can have my old one with the horn missing if you still need to move the car about.

Unfortunately my Glass membership has lapsed (will renew soon) so I can neither see or make comments at the moment. If you try the lane it may be worth coming at it from the South as the reverse out to the North is quite tricky, with a steep bank on one side and a crumbling drop into the stream...

Anybody knowledgeable about lanes near Ashbourne? I was out yesterday for a recce on some lanes I've not done for ages, if ever. Tried SK1445-01(trailwise ref, no warning re 4x4) Slack Lane from the North. Fine to start but then got very tight, impassable without some damage likely to lane and...

Well it's tipping down :D so are we going to see you at the Yonderman Ade?

Sorry folks, I can't make a full day so the Ashbourne route will have to wait a bit longer. But! If anyone wants to meet at the Yonderman for a 10:30ish (I'll be there as near as I can but may be a few minutes late) get away on Saturday I'll lead a run round some of the Peaks trickier lanes for...

Have a good trip and post up a detailed report when you get back. Due to a tragic event earlier this year our Maroc Bike trips for oct/nov have had to be cancelled. That gives me 6-7 weeks to go and have a play somewhere. I'm tempted to head out through the Balkans to Turkey but that would have...
