Agh! Sorry James, although I reckon I'd trade a days laning round Ashbourne for a trip to Portugal anytime :D For those lucky enough not to have the dilemma James has:p, I'm happy to do either day but would also prefer Saturday. Lets see who else posts over the weekend and we'll fix the day on...

I'll be up for putting something together this month. Got a days worth of lanes round Asbourne/Dovedale that I put together a couple of months ago but not had chance to do yet. Can't do this weekend but might be up for next weekend, the 13th or 14th, if anyone's free?

This thread over on Horizons Unlimited should be of some help Horizons Unlimited - The HUBB

Hi Ade, not sure about Monday will depend on the weather. If it's dry I've got a bit of a job to do for me mum. I'll give you a shout on Sunday if I can make it.

Sounds good to me. I can usually get out at short notice and live about 1/2 a mile from where you saw me.

Certainly was, could have told me you were of out for the day, dogs would have had a shorter walk and longer drive!!:D

Can't make tomorrow but might be able to do Monday if you're about?

True, but that may be because no one has yet pointed out the obvious superiority of the Disco to him yet ;) They rot quicker and break down at least as often as a Defender but are more comfortable to sit in whilst awaiting recovery :D

Just to add to the confusion......... That kind of money would buy, and modify, a very nice discovery. Pretty much as capable as a defender off road but a damn sight more comfortable and practical as a day to day road vehicle. Just my 2p's worth :D

I'm out :( Got to work tomorrow morning so no going out to play for me. Have a good un and hopefully I'll be out next time.

Not replied up to now as I'm still not sure I'm going to be free on Saturday. But, things are looking up :D I've got a bit of a route in mind starting from Ashbourne if anyone fancies it, but more than happy to venture further afield if someone else has a route planed.

12 years of being there 2 or 3 times a year and I still can't remember, or even pronounce, some of the names:D Still enjoy every trip as much as the first though and can't wait to get back there ;)

Excellent pics, but are you sure that's Erg Chebbi? (East of Merzouga) Looks a lot like Erg Chegaga to me (South West of M'hamid)

As you've already got the rack and tent on top I'd not be keen on putting anymore weight up there, but that's just a personal thing. Depending on your route to and from the desert you shouldn't encounter many, if any, extreme side slopes but lots of weight on top can seriously accentuate the...

Another tip. Make sure anything important is in water/air tight bags/containers. The fine dust you'll put up when driving on any desert piste gets in everywhere and will cover everything in the back of the truck within minutes!! Bungy nets are probably better than ratchet straps for holding...

Sorry, I had only read James last post before posting re GPS units. Having now read yesterdays posts I wouldn't worry about screen size. If you are following a pre planned route there is a brightly coloured line on the screen with your position on it. If the pointer moves off the line then you...

James, if you're going for a Garmin I can highly recommend https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/outdoor/handheld/montana-600/prod75226.html They can be found a lot cheaper on ebay. Not as big a screen as on some of the car specific units but they are the best all round and most customizable unit...

Hollinsclough you say, is there room for a little un? :D

Ow Do Sim, I'm not far from you, in them thar 'ills near Tideswell. If you fancy getting the old Disco dirty keep an eye on the Peak Lanes thread in the green laning section. We get out quite often and it's not all about scratchy lanes and rocky climbs! :D There are plenty of nice easy lanes...

Flexible wheel arch extensions wanted for Disco 1 5door. Not too fussed about condition so long as they're serviceable. Cash waiting (but not a lot :D )
